points to which the masses arecarried will, accordingly, be equal to one another, that is, thesepoints will then have the same potential. There are, therefore,near the surface of the earth, an infinite number of points suchthat the potential of any one is the same as that of any other.Through all… … Fig. 90. Equipotential surfaces about theearth. Since all points outside this surface have a potential higherthan the surface itself, it is possible to find among these exteriorpoints a number that have a common potential among themselves.Through all these points an-other equipotential surfacemay…
