The general equations of the electric circuit

Introduction. The following investigation of the general equations of the electric circuit was carried out during the last year, and necessarily is still very incomplete, and in some instances may require modification. As, however, our incomplete knowledge of the phenomena resulting from the stored energy of the electric field is at present the main hindrance to a practically unlimited extension of high potential transmission and distribution, the study of these phenomena represents the most important problem of electrical engineering, and the following outline is given in the hope of inducing other investigators to take up and continue the study of the subject.
