title: [Comparison between the potential maps, first measured in a Rijlant's vectocardiographic network and secondly calculated for a homogenous sphere when, in both cases, the source and the sink are opposite on the external boundary].
abstract: In order to predict quantitatively how a Rijlant's vectocardiographic network operates, we did calculate the electrical potential map generated by two opposite poles situated at the ends of a diameter in a conducting sphere isolated on its external boundary. We also measured the potentials similarly arising at each point of the network. The relation between the corresponding values may be usefully approximated. These relations are the best ones but by no means the only ones, and thus any generalization is not yet possible.
