History of electromagnetic theory used to create positively charged anodes and negatively charged cathodes. When a conductor was attached between these, the difference in the electrical potential (also known as voltage) drove a current between them through the conductor. The potential difference between two points is measured in units of volts in recognition of Volta's work. The first mention of voltaic electricity, although not recognized as such at the time, was probably made by Johann Georg Sulzer in 1767, who, upon placing a small disc of zinc under his tongue and a small disc of copper over it, observed a peculiar taste when the
Coefficients of potential two conductors carry equal and opposite charges, formula_20 Coefficients of potential In electrostatics, the coefficients of potential determine the relationship between the charge and electrostatic potential (electrical potential), which is purely geometric: where "Q" is the surface charge on conductor "i". The coefficients of potential are the coefficients "p". φ should be correctly read as the potential on the i-th conductor, and hence "formula_2" is the p due to charge 1 on conductor 2. or more formally Note that: The physical content of the symmetry is as follows: In general, the coefficients is used when describing system of conductors, such
