In fact, the story of electricity
starts with trees. Trees have a special relation to
electricity. When a tree is cut, a
viscous resin appears. With time it solidifies and, after
millions of years, it forms amber.

put near a burning candle.

A (physical) field is thus an entity that manifests
itself by accelerating other bodies
in a given region of space. A field is space that
changes momenta.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Experiments show that fields have no mass and no
material support. Fields influence
bodies over a distance. Fields are invisible. To make them
imaginable, we just need to
colour them.

Victorian and religious to his bones, when he
was knighted,
he chose the name of a small brook near his
home as his new name; thus he became Baron
Kelvin of Largs.
Therefore the unit of temperature obtained its
name from a small Scottish river.

In practice, electric charge is measured with
electrometers.

To convince yourself of the strength of electrostatic
attraction, answer the following:
What is the force between two boxes with a gram of
protons each, located on the
two poles of the Earth? Try to guess the result before you
calculate the astonishing value.
ans-One has F = cN2A
/4R2 = 3 1012 N, an enormous force,
corresponding
to the weight of 300 million tons. It shows
the enormous forces that keep matter together.


inertia of electricity
For
example, when a long metal rod is kept vertically, we can
measure an electrical potential
difference, a voltage, between the top and the bottom. In
other words, we can measure
the weight of electricity in this way. Similarly, we can
measure the potential differenc
Ref. 9 between the ends of an accelerated rod.
Alternatively, we can measure the potential difference
between the centre and the rim of a rotating metal
disc.The last experiment was,
in fact, the way in which the ratio q/m for currents in
metals was first measured with
precision. The result is In short, electrical charge in
metals has mass, though a very small
one.
