  • Abstract
    AS THE sensitivity of measuring equipment has been improved, it has become evident that all air capacitors are not loss free. The high sensitivity bridges used today in dielectric investigations measure the difference between the power factor of the standard air capacitor and of the specimen in the test capacitor. To determine accurately the loss in the specimen the value of the absolute power factor of the standard should be known.
