If any one of the conductors be raised from the plate, thefigures at the other conductors will not be in the least altered. This experiment teaches the new fact that the connexion of theconductor with a blind-ending wire is sufficient materially toalter the figure formed at the conductor, or to make it disap-pear. The experiment becomes most instructive when close tothe conductor A a second spark-micrometer (/, fig. 5) is in-troduced, one of whose knobs is connected with A, while theother leads to the wire D (fig. 5). If, thea, the spark-micro-meter / be first of all adjusted for a great distance and thisdistance be gradually diminished, it will be seen how from themoment the spark passes at / the figure at A becomes different.
