The Four-Terminal Conductor and the Thomson Bridge (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Four-Terminal Conductor and the Thomson Bridge With the current entering at I and leaving at 4, 2 may be either at a higher or at a lower potential than 3. The resistance 2-4 may therefor be either positive or negative. AS the notion of Sign is foreign to our usual conception of resistance, we may, if we wish, consider it as associated with the drop in potential and with the direction of the current.
