With six, however, the single ring becomes unstable, one corpusclemoves to the middle and five lie round it.
In other words, an electric charge possesses mass, and there is evidence to show that the effective mass of a corpuscle increases as its velocity approaches that of light in the way it would do if all its mass were electromagnetic.
The question of the nature and physical meaning of a corpuscle or electron remains for consideration.
We are led therefore to regard the corpuscle from one aspect as a disembodied charge of electricity, and to identify it with the electron of Lorentz and Larmor.

Some of these particles in their journey through the gas attract a corpuscle whose negative charge neutralizes the positive charge on the particle.
Thus unless the corpuscle is acted on by a field strong enough to supply it with the energy it loses by collision, its speed will gradually diminish.
For if the ionization is due to the collisions with the corpuscles, then unless one collision detaches more than one corpuscle the maximum number of corpuscles produced will be equal to the number of collisions.
Thus, if one of the particles when it struck against a piece of metal caused the ejection of a corpuscle with a given velocity, the velocity of emission would not depend on the intensity of the light.
The increase in the pressure increases the number of collisions, but diminishes the energy acquired by the corpuscle in the electric field, and thus diminishes the change of any one collision resulting in ionization.
It is treated as a small corpuscle in comparison with the whole, and in the numerous concourse of many thousands it is obscure, disregarded, and unhonoured.
Professor Thompson gave the name corpuscle to these units of negative electricity; they are now more generally termed electrons.
One of these is the so-called ultramundane-corpuscle hypothesis of Le Sage; the other is based on the vortex theory of matter.
According to this view, then, electricity is not a form of energy but a form of matter; or, to be more precise, the electrical corpuscle is the fundamental structure out of which the atom of matter is built.
Virchow insists that a single bone-corpuscle or a single cell in the skin may become diseased.
None of the matter which surrounds the corpuscleor cyst seems to take part in the preservation of the germ, when the cyst is formed, for it is all re-absorbed, gradually leaving the cyst bare.
Sometimes the foremost segment has the corpuscle at one end, sometimes the other.
The application of this term to Thomson's corpuscle implies, rightly or wrongly, that notwithstanding its apparent mass, the corpuscle is in fact nothing more than an atom of electricity.
The question whether a corpuscle actually has a material gravitating nucleus is undecided, but there are strong reasons for believing that its mass is entirely due to the electric charge.
The charge associated with a corpuscle is the same as that carried by a hydrogen atom.
This is the more surprising when we consider that they measure about 300u x 8u, that is, their width is equal to the diameter of the red blood corpuscle of their host and their length over thirty-seven times as great.
This lives at the expense of the corpuscle and as it develops there are deposited in its body scattered black or reddish black particles.
The pus-corpuscle and the white blood-corpuscle can only be distinguished by tracing them to their origin.
The anaemia accompanying the disease is due partly to the leucocyte overgrowth, which takes up the space in the marrow belonging of right to red corpuscle formation and interferes with it.
From these layers it spreads through the rest of the liquid, being most retarded, however, in the red corpuscle layer, and particularly so if the sedimentation has been very complete.
Through the agency of some unknown mechanism, the supply of fresh red corpuscles from the bone-marrow keeps pace with the destruction of effete corpuscles, and in health each corpuscle contains a definite and constant amount of haemoglobin.
When the Feminine corpuscle unites with a Masculine corpuscle, a certain process is begun.
From corpuscle and electron, atom and molecule, to worlds and universes, everything is in vibratory motion.
A Feminine corpuscle becomes detached from, or rather leaves, a Masculine corpuscle, and starts on a new career.
Then all particles of Matter are in circular movement, from corpuscle to suns.
The smallest blood corpuscle known is that of a species of small deer, and the largest is that of a lizard like reptile found in our southern waters--the amphiuma.
The blood corpuscle of the tiny mouse is larger than that of the huge ox.
Each corpuscle receives the termination of one or more nerve fibers.
After the plaster has set, remove it from the lid and with a pocket-knife round off the edges and hollow out the sides until the general form of the corpuscle is obtained.
They are much less numerous than the red, there being on the average only one white corpuscle to about every five hundred of the red ones.
The shape of the red corpuscle is that of a circular disk with concave sides.
These, on entering, lose the medullary sheath and separate into a number of branches that penetrate the corpuscle in different directions.
The peculiar shape of the red corpuscle has no doubt some relation to its work.
In this lies a flattened body, having a nucleus, which is recognized as the bone cell, or the bone corpuscle (Fig.
At one point a crenated red blood-corpuscle is seen (Wright and Brown).
For larger objects, where exact measurement is not essential, the diameter of a red blood-corpuscle (7 to 8 micron) is sometimes taken as a unit.
Normal red corpuscle for comparison; 2, normoblasts, one with lobulated nucleus; 3, megaloblast and microblast.
They are about the size of a red corpuscle or slightly larger, and consist of a single, sharply defined, deeply staining nucleus, surrounded by a narrow rim of protoplasm.
These embryos are very actively motile, worm-like structures, about as wide as a red corpuscle and 0.
The organism is an actively motile spiral thread, about four times the diameter of a red corpusclein length.
In the case of the tertian parasite, these granules have active vibratory motion, which renders them conspicuous; and as the parasite itself is very pale, one may see only a large pale corpuscle in which fine pigment-granules are dancing.
The percentage of corpuscles is found by multiplying the first two figures of the red corpuscle count by two.
It is oval or pear-shaped, one to three times the diameter of a red blood-corpuscle in length, and has a cluster of flagella at one end (Fig.
A plaque upon a red corpuscle is surrounded by a colorless zone rather than by a distinct blue body.
Trypanosoma hominis is an actively motile, spindle-shaped organism, two or three times the diameter of a red corpuscle in length, with one end terminating in a long flagellum.
Under the microscope the corpuscles appear as very granular cells, about twice the diameter of a red blood-corpuscle (Figs.
COLOR INDEX This is an expression which indicates the amount of hemoglobin in each red corpuscle compared with the normal amount.
During their growth in the corpuscle they are far less sensitive to quinine than when they exist in the free condition as spores, and at this time the drug has little effect.
After they have again found their way into a blood-corpuscle the fever diminishes, and during their growth in the corpuscle until the next sporulation the individual has a rest from the more severe symptoms.
These bodies break out of the corpuscle and for a time live a free life in the blood.
In a knot of the network is contained the dark, stiff, opaque nuclear corpuscle or nucleolus.
This tiny round corpuscle of chromatin now acts as a centre of attraction for the invading spermatozoon in the large ripe ovum, and coalesces with its "head," the male pro-nucleus.
If the velocity of a cathode corpuscle varies, the intensity of the corresponding current will likewise vary; and there will develop effects of self-induction which will tend to oppose this variation.
The total apparent mass is therefore not the same when the real force applied to the corpuscle is parallel to its velocity and tends to accelerate the motion as when it is perpendicular to this velocity and tends to make the direction vary.
Suppose the corpuscle retrace its journey and go ahead instead of backward.
Supposing a little blood-corpuscle be squeezed in the narrow pathway of a capillary in the muscle of the arm.
This continues until the corpuscle is almost lost in the great artery of the arm; thence it will pass but few openings, and these will be large, until it passes into the aorta, or great artery, and then into the heart.
Lodge holds that all matter down to the ultimate corpuscle is electricity or electrical substance.
Thomson discovered each corpuscle had the same electric charge as an ion of hydrogen, and that each must be smaller than a hydrogen atom--in fact only a thousandth part of it.
