Properties of Dielectrics in Electric Fields

Abstract

IN NATURE of Oct. 25 is a communication from Mr. J. Mazur, under the heading of: “Change of the Dielectric Constant of Ethyl Ether with Temperature”. This appears a suitable opportunity for raising a question to which I have previously alluded in several communications to the Phil. Mag. and in a long letter in NATURE of April 5, 1924. This is that of the nomenclature of the effects found in dielectrics in the wide range of alternating electric fields which have now for many years become increasingly available.
