Abstract
PROF. JONES gives in this volume an account of the induction coil, which is more descriptive than his “Theory of the Induction Coil” of eleven years ago. The chief departures from a simple action are caused by the distribution of capacity in the secondary circuit, and the decay due to causes other than resistance, namely, eddy currents, hysteresis and leakage. Equations for the primary and secondary voltage and current are thus obtained and it is shown how coupling affects these quantities. The calculated curves are well in accord with those obtained experimentally and throw an important light upon the action of the induction coil. The forms of oscillograph for secondary voltage and primary current are described and a series of excellent oscillograms illustrating the wave forms is given.
