Electric oscillations may be set up by a spark gap, electric arc or a vacuum tube, when they have not only a high frequency but a high potential, or voltage.
A continuous discharge between the terminals of a high potential apparatus is termed a convective discharge.
The action is thus explained:--When an insulated body connected to a terminal of the coil is suddenly charged to high potential, it acts inductively upon the surrounding air, or whatever gaseous medium there might be.
I take hold of it; I bring my body in contact with a wire conveying alternating currents of high potential, and the tube in my hand is brilliantly lighted.
He shows that, at least with very rapidly alternating currents of high potential, the discharge may work through almost any practicable thickness of the best insulators, if air is present.
Eight forms of electric lamps using infusible earthy oxides and brought to high incandescence in vacuo by high potential current of several thousand volts; same character as impingement of X-rays on object in bulb.
The sphere being charged to a high potential, it acts inductively upon the surrounding air, or whatever gaseous medium there might be.
To accomplish this, a very high frequency is essential; a high potential is likewise required, but this is a merely incidental necessity.
An oscillatory current of high potential is produced in a circuit which consists of rapidly rotating disks in connection with the dynamo and suitable condensers.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "high potential" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
