on form a neutral line round BC. We thus see that the electrification of A acts on the conductor BC, separating its electricities, drawing electricity of opposite name towards i>, and repelling electricity of like name towards G. We infer that every electrical charge tends to separate… … Fig. 64. It is easy to see that these induced charges are able tocause fresh separations by induction in other bodies, as maybe seen if we bring BE (Fig. 64) near to (7, when we shallfind negative electricity towards D and positive towards E. If BC be divisible into two parts by a plane through…
