...Dr. Faraday has happily designated the electric current, whether in metals, or liquids, or air, as " An axis of power having contrary forces, exactly equal in amount, in contrary directions." § 751. The polarity of the arrangement, when in a state of action, is well illustrated by interposing... | |

It has never been resolved into simpler or elementary influences and may perhaps best be conceived of as an axis of power having contrary forces, exactly equal in amount, in contrary directions.
