I seldom write anything right the first time through, despite proof
reading. Sigh.
I wrote: "But, as you point out, this is not true if you get well
away from that center line (and you are well out in space where there
is no field from the universe.) Then the absolute net charge on the
plates is clearly visible by which way the electron goes, which can
be away from the spheres or towards them."
"But, as you point out, this is not true if you get well away from
that center line (and the spheres and you are well out in space where
there is no field from the universe.) Then the absolute net charge
on the spheres is clearly visible by which way the electron goes,
which can be away from the spheres, or towards them.
