...thereafter repelled by the sealing-wax, and hence we conclude that bodies charged with similar electricities repel one another. On the other hand, the pith ball,...excited glass, will be attracted to excited sealing-wax, and if charged with excited sealing-wax it will be attracted to 338. The Hypothesis of two Fluids.—It...

...charged. Whatever form these instruments possess, they all depend in their action on the principle that bodies charged with the same kind of electricity repel one another; whilst those charged with opposite kinds attract. If two light pith balls be suspended together by...

...possessing peculiar interrelations and analogies. Electrified bodies resemble magnetized bodies in that bodies charged with the same kind of electricity repel one another, while bodies charged with unlike kinds attract one another. This is usually illustrated as follows:...

...Cisternay du Fay distinguished two kinds of electricity, resinous and vitreous, and when he proved that bodies charged with the same kind of electricity repel one another, whereas those charged with different kinds attract one another, electrical science was brought up to...

...nevertheless this same charge caused it to be attracted by the fur. We are thus led to the conclusion that bodies charged with the same kind of electricity repel one another, while attraction exists between bodies which are oppositely electrified. Let us consider these phenomena...
