The book explains how to design and analyze four-terminal resistance standards for alternating currents, helping labs achieve precise, repeatable inductance and resistance measurements.

It covers the theoretical basis, practical construction, and testing methods for both air-cooled and oil-cooled shunts, with an emphasis on minimizing errors from skin effect, lead placement, and geometry. The discussion ties together theory and hands-on design to support accurate comparisons and reliable standards.

Readers will gain a clear view of how the geometry of conductors affects inductance, how to apply reciprocal theorems, and how to evaluate real-world deviations from ideal models. The text also outlines practical construction details and measurement approaches used in laboratory settings.

Foundations for calculating inductance in 4-terminal resistor configurations
Techniques to reduce errors from skin effect, end effects, and lead placement
Design considerations for air-cooled flat-strip shunts and tubular oil-cooled shunts
Methods to test and adjust resistance with stable, uniform temperature distribution

Ideal for readers involved in metrology, electrical standards, or precision resistance and inductance experiments.
