Extract

If the electrodes of an induction coil be placed at such a distance that a spark will not pass easily, then the introduction of a dielectric between the poles will greatly facilitate the sparking, provided the dielectric be placed near or against the positive pole, but will not have this effect if placed against the negative pole. Experiments were made with mica, sulphur, glass, and ebonite, etc.
