e most serious objection toVoltas theory is that it does not afford a satisfactory account ofthe source of the energy the production of which it implies. Sup-pose S to be the capacity of the condenser used in either of theforms of experiment described in (100), and V and V to be thepotentials… … If the plates of~j^ cm. apart, the capacity is (53) S = 4?r X distance 500 in O.G.S. units. If the 102] VOLTAS THEORY 155 difference of potentials is one volt, or y^o^h of an electrostaticunit, the energy is 1 x 500 x -.-Jo X l^h = 2-78 x IQ-^ erg. The onlysource from which this energy could be…
