In its veins the blood is hot and red, And a heart still beats in those ribs of oak That time may have tamed, but has not broke; It comes from Bacharach on the Rhine, Is one of the three best kinds of wine, And costs some hundred florins the ohm; But that I do not consider dear, When I remember that every year Four butts are sent to the Pope of Rome.

In 1870, upon the completion of the Automatic Company's 7 ohm wire between New York and Washington, it happened that Prof. Moses G. Farmer was in the Washington office when the first message was about to be sent, and upon being requested, he turned the "crank" and transmitted the message to New York, at the rate of 217 words per minute.

In 1880, upon the completion of the Rapid Company's 6 ohm wire, between New York and Boston, 1,200 words per minute were transmitted between the cities above named.

In other words, the old Bain method was competent to telegraph 800 words per minute on the 400 miles of 1.5 ohm wire.

The operation of my improved system is as follows: While the apparatus is at rest a constant current from the battery, E', traverses the line, L, and the branch conductors, l, and ll, dividing itself between them, in inverse proportion to their respective resistances, in accordance with the well-known law of Ohm.

The diameter of the wire is 55/100 (22 mm.), its length eighteen meters (60 feet), its resistance one ohm; ¾ ampere is needed to work it, and less than a watt is absorbed by it.

[rho] 1 ohm.

For if E = 50,000 volts, R = 0.001 ohm, then C = 50000/0.001 = 50,000,000 amperes.

According to Ohm's law, the strength of current is proportional to the electromotive force divided by the total resistance, external and internal.

This is equal to the effect produced by a Grove's cell in a circuit of 45,000 ohms resistance.

The resistance when making 120 revolutions per minute is 2,810 million ohms.

The Paris units were adopted in face of the fact that the length determined upon at Paris was not the length that Professor Rowland himself had found as that which should represent the ohm.

The ohm, the ampere, the volt, are merely words that express ideas that we all understand; and so does the watt, and so will the 1,000 watts when you come to think over the matter as much as some of us have done.

Madison. OHM, GEORG SIMON, a German physicist, born at Erlangen; discovered the mathematical theory of the electric current, known as Ohm's Law, a law based on experiment, that the strength of the electric current is equal to the electro-motive force divided by the resistance of the wire (1787-1854).

On changing the battery to 5 elements the resistance fell instantly to 30 ohms, and there remained.

In the low state, it may be a few ohms, or even a few hundredths of an ohm.

The four bobbins are grouped for tension, and have a total resistance of 30,220 ohms.
