ively electrified appears to contra-dict it. The origin of atmospheric electricityhas also been sought for in the inductioncurrents which the motion of the earth b\might develop in the upper regions ofthe atmosphere, supposing these to beconductors (324). Let us imagine aconducting arc, ab (Fig.… … 538 ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRICITY [470- west to east, develops therein an inductive electromotive force, thedirection of which is from the equator to the pole. If the arc werein contact with the globe by sliding contacts at n and E, and thecircuit closed, the induction would produce a continuous…
