The mutual action of electrified bodies, for example, is affected by their relative or absolute motion.
These rays are known as Becquerel rays, and have the further power to render air a conductor of electricity, and thus to discharge any electrified substance placed near them.
The small negatively electrified portion of the atom consists of particles called “electrons,” and these electrons are believed to be indivisible units or atoms of negative electricity.
It does; for it will be found that light substances, after touching the electrified body, will recede from it just as actively as they approached it before contact.
In electricity or magnetism, it is the influence exerted by an electrified or magnetized body through a non-conducting medium without any apparent communication of a current.
Does an electrifiedbody exercise any other influence than an attractive one?

You will observe that as a surplus of electrons arrives upon the earth from the sun, the earth is naturally a negatively electrified body, but I need hardly say that the earth does not keep all the electrons which arrive upon it.
These electrons, being negative particles of electricity, would repel each other just as any two similarly electrified bodies do.
