Internal Resistance

Nature volume 19, page 339 (1879)Cite this article

Abstract

THE following method of measuring the internal resistance of a battery was devised some two years ago by Lieut. A. R. Conden, United States Navy, then attached to this station as Instructor in Electricity. It fulfils quite closely the conditions indicated by Clerk Maxwell on p. 412, vol. i. of his treatise on Electricity and Magnetism. As it is not generally known, I venture to call your attention to it.
