LINKING THE KILOGRAM TO ELECTRICAL QUANTITIES BY THE ENERGY DISSIPATED IN A PENDULUM
Umberto Pogliano
Abstract:
The development of system for linking the kilogram to electrical quantities is described in this paper. The method is based on a multifilar pendulum interacting with a coil, where a variable electromotive force that produces a current in the coil and in a suitable external resistor is generated. The electrical energy dissipated is measured and the mass is evaluated from this energy and from the kinematics of the pendulum.
