Force, Electrostatic

The force by which electric matter or electrified surfaces attract or repel each other. It is also termed electric force (not good) and electro-motive intensity. It is the mechanical force acting upon a unit quantity of electricity. Its intensity varies with the square of the distance.

Its dimensions are therefore equal to (quantity * unity / (square of distance) Q. * 1 / (L^2)  = ((M^.5) * (L^1.5) )/ T*1 / (L^2)  = ((M^.5) * (L^.5)) / T These dimensions are also those of potential difference.

[Transcriber's Note: The image of the preceding paragraph is included for "clarity".]

The objection to the term electric force is that it may be applied also to electro-magnetic force, and hence be a source of confusion.
