Kelvin-Zisman probe

In the dynamic condenser, or the vibrating plate or vibrating condenser method (Fig. 5), also called Kelvin, Zisman, or Kelvin-Zisman probe, the capacity of the condenser created by the investigated surface and the plate (vib. plate) is continuously modulated by periodical vibration (GEN.) of the plate. The ac output is then amplified and fed back to the condenser to obtain null-balance operation (E,V). " " ...
