Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fundamentals of electricity for the uninitiated across two distinct eras, from its first scientific investigations to its technological applications. The author, a lecturer at the Royal Victoria Gallery of Practical Science, frames the text around his own course of lectures, beginning with a series of experiments designed to demonstrate basic electrostatic phenomena through the use of sealing wax, silk, and an electrophorus. His simple demonstrations, supplemented by tables of various conductors and non-conductors of electricity, provide a practical starting point for understanding the behaviour of electric forces. He then delves into the scientific classification of electricity, discussing the Franklinian theory and presenting a range of experimental evidence to support his conclusions. The text concludes with an overview of the practical application of electricity, including electrical machines and devices such as the Leyden jar and voltaic pile. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
