The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Edward Victor Appleton, on a paper 'A method of measuring the effective resistance of a condenser at radio frequencies, and of measuring the resistance of long straight wires' by E B Moullin

Reference number: RR/43/127

Date: February 1932

Description

Sectional committee: Physics

Recommended for publication in Proceedings. The paper describes an interesting experimental method, which is new. The author claims that this is the first time separating effective resistance and so the paper's results cannot be compared with anything else. However, this has been considerably studied by other researchers such as Offermann and Dye.

[Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 1932].
