  • The only difference was, that one was in the inductric, and the other in the inducteous state, but whichsoever happened for the time to be in that state, whether positive or negative, had the advantage.

  • A small projecting piece of shell-lac was fixed on the inductric ball at that part opposite to the attachment of the brass rod, for the purpose of preventing actual contact between the ball and the crystal cube.

  • Intervals = 0.8 of an inch: A and B inductric positive, discharge mostly at _n_, as positive brush; inductric negative, discharge mostly at

  • _Coal gas. _ -- _n_ and _o_ = 0.4 of an inch: A, B inductric positive, discharge nearly all at _o_ by negative spark: A, B inductric negative, discharge nearly all at _n_ by negative spark.

  • The state developed by induction through such particles on a mass of conducting mutter at a distance would be of the contrary kind, and exactly equal in amount to the force in the inductric globe.

  • Or it was easy by revolving the stand which supported the cube to bring four of its faces in succession towards the inductric ball, and so observe the force when the lines of inductive action (1304.) coincided with, or were transverse to, the direction of the optical axis of the crystal.

  • Thus it was easy to bring the inducteous ball always to the same distance from the inductric bull, and to uninsulate and insulate it again in its place; and then, after measuring the force in the electrometer

  • In the next place, the large balls which I have used might be replaced by larger balls at a still greater distance, and so, by successive degrees, may be considered as passing into the sides of the rooms; these being under general circumstances the inducteous bodies, whilst the small ball rendered either positive or negative is the inductric body.

  • Made the intervals = 0.8 of an inch: A, B inductric positive, discharge both at _n_ and _o_; inductric negative, discharge all at _o_ by negative brush.
