Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism Fig 02
Summary
Lines of Forces and Equipotential Surfaces.
In this figure we have again two points whose charges are as 4 to 1, but the one positive and the other negative. In this case one of the quipotential surfaces, that, namely, corresponding to potential zero, is a sphere. It is marked in the diagram by the dotted circle Q. The importance of this spherical surface will be seen when we come to the theory of Electrical Images.
