Abstract :
Electrical glass offers the electronics engineer a versatile working medium with useful applications in many types of circuit elements, a dielectric with properties suitable for solving some of his most perplexing problems in electrical insulation. The behavior of electrical glass in direct-current and in alternating-current fields is discussed in terms of dielectric properties, considered as functions of field parameters and variables of ambient condition. Representative values are given in the form of curves which illustrate the wide range of glass properties available for radio engineering service.
