Synopsis

Explore the fundamentals and experiments of electrostatic induction in Gordon’s classic lectures.

This nonfiction work gathers the long history of induction, from Faraday’s ideas to modern demonstrations, and explains how electrified bodies influence nearby matter. It presents the problems, methods, and apparatus used to study induction with clear, step‑by‑step examples.

The volume leads readers through key concepts, from the difference between conductor and insulator to the practical setup of controlled experiments. It includes discussions of how dielectrics alter electric effects, how rapid electrical reversal works, and how light interacts with electric fields. The text blends theory with detailed descriptions of instruments, measurements, and striking demonstrations that illuminate the nature of electricity and its relation to light.

• Learn the basic idea of induction and how electrified bodies affect their surroundings
• See how conductors, insulators, and dielectrics change experimental outcomes
• Discover the hands‑on apparatus and methods used to measure and reverse electric effects
• Explore historical experiments and the connections between electricity and light

Ideal for readers curious about the experiments and history of electrostatic induction, and for students seeking a clear, practical introduction to the topic.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Four Lectures on Static Electric Induction

"Amongst the actions of different kinds into which electricity has conventionally been subdivided, there is, I think, none which excels, or even equals, in importance that called Induction. It is of the most general influence in electrical phenomena, appearing to be concerned in every one of them, and has in reality the character of a first, essential, and fundamental principle.
