Almost every knowns-nhstance may, therefore, be classilied either as positive or negativeunder certnin circumstances. Subsequent explanations will make thismore apparent. When we speak of the relative potential of two bodies, wemean the difference in degree of the potential of each. The bodies thus compared must both be positive or negative. Onemetal, for example, may have a potential seventy times that of theearth, and another one hundred times that of the earth. Both may bepositive, yet one is negative as compared with the other. Two suchmetals have been happily compared to reservoirs at different levels(De Watteville). The tendency between two bodies of different.
