Hence, if the eledric attradion and repulfion is 
inverfely as the fquare of the diflance, the redundant 
fluid in A B, fuppohng ^ to be equal to one, will 
exceed that in the plate H, in a greater ratio than 
that of AC to 4CE, and lefs than that of AC to 
2CE.

Het now the body H confift of a globe, whofe 
diameter equals A B ; the globe being fituated in 
fuch a manner, that the canal C G, if continued, 
would pafs through its center ; and let the eledric 
attradion and rcpullion be inverfely as the fquare of 
the diftance, the quantity of redundant fluid in the 
globe will be 2 B : for the fluid will be fpread uni- 
formly over the furface of the globe, and its repul- 
fion on the canal will be the fame as if it was all 
colleded in the center of the fphere, and will there- 
fore be the fame with which an equal quantity, dif- 
pofed in the circumference of A B, would repel it in 
the contrary diredion, or with which half that quan- 
tity, or B, would repel it, if fpread uniformly over 
the plate.
