We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

598 < 'IXKMATOGRAPHIC: ANNUAL Electricity Ohmic Resistance The resistance of a uniform electric conductor at o°, Centigrade, is given by the formula: R (in ohms) =» p L/A L = length of conductor in inches A = Cross-section in square inches p = Resistivity of conductor at o° C, values of which are given in the following table Table of Resistivities (Resistivity is the resistance in ohms between any two opposite faces of a I inch cube of the material. It is given in microhms or millionths of an ohm.)* Metal Resistivity at o° C. (in microhms) Aluminum (annealed) Aluminum (commercial) .... Aluminum bronze .

The resistance of a conductor at any temperature is (i+at8) R, Rr (i+ati) in which Ri = known resistance at a temperature ti degrees Centigrade R* = required resistance at a temperature U degrees Centigrade a = temperature coefficient of electrical resistance, the value of which is given for different metals in the following table.
