Abstract

The classical analysis of a plane parallel capacitor gives a capacitance which becomes infinite as the spacing between the metal electrodes approaches zero. The fact that real capacitors show a marked deviation from this behavior has not generally been recognized.(1,2) This communication describes experiments in which the deviations have been measured with some care.
