(1) Buff finds the quantity of electricity associated with
one milligramme of hydrogen in water to be equal to 45,480
charges of a Leyden jar, with a height of 480 millimetres,
and a diameter of 160 millimetres. Weber and Kohlrausch
have calculated that, if the quantity of electricity
associated with one milligramme of hydrogen in water were
diffused over a cloud at a height of 1000 metres above the
earth, it would exert upon an equal quantity of the opposite
electricity at the earth's surface an attractive force of
2,268,000 kilogrammes. (Electrolytische Maasbestimmungen,
1856, p. 262.)
