| Title | Letter from O J L [Oliver Joseph Lodge], 2 Grove Park, Liverpool, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Lodge; Sir Oliver Joseph (1851-1940); British physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 11 November 1895 |
| Description | Lodge asks about [Hermann von] Helmholtz theorem applied to the vortex ring of electrically charged air. He means to imply [?] that the charged atoms crawl by diffusion out of the ring quickly. He recalls that diffusion of any sort can go into the ring and it enlarges in an imperfect fluid. So, he concludes, there is nothing in it and his note is unnecessary. He thinks it interesting to see a vortex ring knocked out of charged air losing its charge rapidly. |
