Capacitance Hygroscopy
Abstract
I AM obliged to Dr. Schofield for directing further attention to the subsidiary complications of capacitance measurements1. As E. B. Moullin says :2 ``We are again and again forced to remember that inductance, capacity, and resistance are attributes possessed simultaneously by all apparatus, and we cannot say that this is an inductance, or that is a capacity with the easy nonchalance of the power engineer''. To avoid the accusation of such nonchalance, I used inverted commas for `capacitance' in my article, made such cautionary remarks as the limits of space permitted, and used the word `hygroscopy' instead of `hygrometry' in its title.
