reater than tlie repulsion of those out-side and the line PQ will be bent outwards. 12 ELECTRICITY AND IVIATTER Let US now pass from tlie case of two oppositelyelectrified bodies to that of two similarly elec-trified ones, the lines of force for which are shownin Fig. 3. Let us suppose A and £ are… … Fig. 3. negative charges corresponding to the positiveones on A and £; let us suppose that thesecharges are a considerable distance away, so thatthe lines of force from A would, if £ were notpresent, spread out, in the part of the field underconsideration, uniformly in all directions.
