A review of the Principles of Electrical & Electronic Engineering. Volume 1, Principles of Heavy Current Engineering

## Coulomb's law (see Fig. 1.1) An experiment which has been the starting point for many courses in• electricity is that in which two light pith balls hanging dose to each other on long threads are given similar charges by being brought into contact with a charged body. It is I/V3 times 415 which is the standard three-phase voltage.
