ofthe conductor and on the nature of the dielectric. 294. Condenser.—The capacity of an insulated conductor isgreatly increased by the presenceof another conductor connectedto the earth or to the walls ofthe room. Thus, let A (Fig. 215)be a conducting sphere, which ischarged to a positive… … 340 ELECTROSTATIC INSTRXJMENTS. surrounded with a conducting sphere, B. It will take thepotential of the surface with which it coincides withoutaltering the field. If the outer sphere be now connected tothe walls of the room, its potential will fall to zero, and thatof A to V= 4, so that if A be…
