1. carbonized cloth Cloth cut in discs and heated in vessels protected from the air, until reduced to carbon. The heating is sometimes conducted in vacuo. They are placed in a pile in a glass or other insulating tube, and offer a resistance which can be varied by pressure. The greater the pressure the less will be the resistance, and vice versa.
CarbonDioxide. A compound gas, CO2. It is composed of Carbon, 12 parts by weight. Oxygen. 32 " Specific gravity, 1.524 (Dulong and Berzelins). Molecular weight, 44.
It is a dielectric of about the resistance of air. Its specific inductive capacity at atmospheric pressures is 1.000356 (Boltzmann). 1.0008 (Ayrton).
