comes 1642 Discharge of a condenser through a fine wire. Let us suppose that we have a condenser consisting of two parallel platesA and B and charged with equal and opposite charges. Then we know thatthere will be electric induction between the two plates, and that accordingto Maxwells theory the… … these into unit cells by the level surfaces, drawn at unit difference of potential(Fig. 2). If the dimensions of the plates be great compared with their distanceapart, then nearly all the cells will be between the two plates, and since eachcell contains half a unit of energy, nearly all the energy…
