Abstract
The theory and design considerations for dynamic condenser electrometers are presented. The main features of such instruments are simple and dependable operation, extremely low drift and high sensitivity. (10,000 divisions/volt is easily obtainable.) Also included is the description and performance of two instruments specifically designed to measure d.c. currents of the order of 10−15 ampere.Keywords
