the electroscope asbefore. Notice that there is equal divergence of the leaves. Experiment S. — a. Electrify an insulated pear-shaped conductor (Fig. 344). Touch the larger endof the conductor with a proof-plane and bring it in contactwith an electroscope. Noticethe amount of divergence ofthe… … Fig. 344. case, therefore, the charge is not uniformly distributed. We conclude that the electricity is of equal density on thesphere, but of unequal density on the pear-shaped conductor.Electric density is defined as the quantity of electricity on abody per unit area. It follows, from this…
