When a charged jar is placed under the receiver of an air pump, as the exhaustion proceeds, a luminous current flows over the edge of the jar, between the opposite sides, until the equilibrium is restored. Electric light exhibits a very beautiful appearance,... Pneumatics, electricity, magnetism, and optics - Page 152by Denison Olmsted - 1835Full view - About this book
