- 115 -iElectric current begins to flow along a metal wire when, in general, at the one ofits ends, there is electrons' concentration higher than the concentration of the positiveions of the metal lattice, while, at the other end, there is electrons' concentrationlower than the concentration of the positive ions. The electrons will be "sucked" by thepositively charged end of the wire. This "sucking" will be possible only if the concentrationof the electrons throughout the wire will become lower than the concentration ofthe positive ions, otherwise the electrons in the wire can not "feel" that there is scarcityon electrons at the one end of the wire. It is nonsense to think that thehigher concentration of the positive ions at the one end of the wire (at the positiveelectrode of the battery) acts directly with its Coulomb electric potential on the excessof electrons at the other end of the wire (at the negative electrode of the battery). Indeed,the wire can be long kilometers and this direct Coulomb action can become nil. Thusthe excessive positive charges from the positive electrode of the battery attract by Coulombforces the electrons in the immediate neighbourhood of the wire, the emerging higherpositive concentration of the ions attracts the electrons from its immediate neighbourhoodand the process propagates with a velocity near to c towards the negative electrodeof the battery. We thus see that during the transfer of current the whole wire must becomeslightly positively charged and, clearly, at a higher current, the positive chargingof the wire must be higher.This is exactly what Sansbury has observed: When current went along a wire, it attracteda negatively charged vane and repulsed a positively charged vane, independently ofthe direction of the current.Here I must add that besides this effect which, following Prof. Spencer, I shall callthe Edwards effect, there is also the Kennard effect which appears only if the currentwire moves with respect to absolute space. In the last case an induced electric intensityappears according to the formulaE = (V.grad)A + VxrotA,where ¥ is the absolute velocity of the wire and A is the magnetic potential generatedby it at the laboratory's point where the positively (negatively) charged vane is placed.If Sansbury has done his experiment more attentively, he could see that there is an additionalforce acting on the positively (negatively) charged vane coming from the electromagneticinduction due to the absolute velocity of the Earth. This effect depends not onthe square of the current but on the current , i.e., for opposite currents it has oppositesigns and, for a prolongated rectangular loop, depends on the angle which this loopconcludes with the laboratory's absolute velocity. I have observed this electric forcein my inertial Kennard experiment (see TWT-IV, p. 110).Now I wish to make some "technical" remarks on Prof. Spencer's paper.Prof. Spencer obtains formula (3) for the force with which a charge Q, moving with avelocity v, acts on a test unit charge, moving with a velocity u, proceeding from formula(2), in which she puts the Weber electromagnetic potential (1).
