Abstract
SINCE an electrical condenser is a device for storing electricity, it follows that a secondary battery is a condenser—obviously of very large capacity as compared with the electrostatic type of condenser. Arguing from this point of view it appeared to the writer that, by a suitable arrangement of pasted lead grids immersed in dilute sulphuric acid and connected in circuit with an alternating current, it should be possible to obtain the characteristic effect of an electrical condenser, namely, a phase advance of the current relatively to the terminal potential difference.
