Let us suppose A and JB are… … negative charges corresponding to the positiveones on A and JB; let us suppose that thesecharges are a considerable distance away, so thatthe lines of force from A would, if JB were notpresent, spread out, in the part of the field underconsideration, uniformly in all directions. Considernow the…
