Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism Fig 01
Summary
Lines of Forces and Equipotential Surfaces.
In this figure we have the equipotential surfaces surrounding two points electrified with quantities of electricity of the same kind and in the ratio of 20 to 5.
Here each point is surrounded by a system of equipotential surfaces which become more nearly spheres as they become smaller, but none of them are accurately spheres.
