x as a measure of the intensity of theuniform electric field between parallel flat metal plates, where Eis the electromotive force between the plates and x is the distancebetween the plates. It is desirable, however, to base the defini-tion of electric field intensity upon some observable effect of… … machine is represented in Fig. 91 as a battery). A small metalball b is suspended between the plates A and B by a silkthread, and if the ball b is started it continues to vibrate backand forth from plate to plate.Regarding the behavior of theball the following statementsmay be made: (a) Work…
