Part two - general and theoretical chapter III molecular and ionic interactions in dielectrics

A majority of the work in the field covered by this chapter is usually concerned in one way or another with the properties of liquids. The ever-expanding family of mechanical models continues to increase; the physics of the liquid state has not yet been reduced to terms where theoretical laws could be readily derived without the use of rather limiting assumptions, or, in some cases, arbitrary constants, and the interaction of electrical energy with liquids is no exception.
