Milliamperage-Time Relation<br />

Rule: The milliamperage (M) required for a given exposure is inversely<br />

proportional to the time (T):<br />

Another way <strong>of</strong> expressing this is to say that for a given set <strong>of</strong> conditions<br />

(voltage, distance, etc), the product <strong>of</strong> milliamperage and time is constant for<br />

the same photographic effect.<br />

Thus, M1T1 = M2T2 = M3T3 = C, a constant.<br />

This is commonly referred to as the reciprocity law. (Important exceptions are<br />

discussed below.)<br />

To solve for either a new time (T2) or a new milliamperage (M2), simply follow<br />

the steps shown in the example in "Milliamperage-Distance Relation".<br />
