If, however,the body is not spherical then the distribution will not be 24 STATIC ELECTRICITY. uniform, but the surface density… … Fig. 8. d show the distribution on a disc and cylinder respectively.In the case of a point where the radius of curvature ispractically 0, the density becomes so great, as in Fig. 8 e,that a curious phenomenon occurs, called the electric wind.The electrification at the point is so great as to…
