connected .with the earth. Fig. 216. If a positive charge of Q units of electricity is given to the inner sphere, the potential of the outersphere will be momentarily raised, andelectrons, equivalent in number to Qunits of electricity, will flow to theouter sphere from the earth, therebygiving the… … THE SPHERICAL CONDENSER. 393 Since the potential of a charged sphere is constant through-out and equal to the quantity of electricity with which it ischarged divided by the radius (p. 365), we see that the po-tential at all points within the outer sphere due to its chargealone is -Q while the…
