y. Thisnegative electricity collects on the points opposite to the glass. Here itstendency to discharge becomes so high that it passes across the interveningspace of air, and equalises the potentials of glass and conductor. Theprime conductor is thus charged with positive electricity at… … Fig. 736 It the hand is brought near the conductor when charged, a sparkfollows, which, is renewed as the machine is turned. In this case the hand,being at zero potential and in a positive field, must have a negative charge.As the hand approaches, the difference of potential increases until a…
