Synopsis

Explore the practical and theoretical foundations of electricity and magnetism. This comprehensive treatise introduces the forces, fields, and circuits that govern electrical phenomena, from potential and current to the behavior of galvanic cells and Ohm’s law.

Written with clear explanations and historical context, the book combines core theory with worked examples and experiments. It explains how electrical charge moves, how conductors differ in carrying current, and how devices like batteries, condensers, and electrometers operate. You’ll also see how magnetic fields relate to electric circuits and how these ideas form the basis of electrical measurements and technology.

• Fundamental concepts: field of force, potential, equipotential surfaces, and the law of inverse squares.


• Practice with circuits: series and parallel arrangements, internal resistance, and Ohm’s law.


• Voltaic cells and practical batteries, including series and parallel configurations and early electric instruments.


• Introductory treatment of thermo-electricity and the relationship between temperature and electromotive force.

Ideal for readers seeking a solid grounding in the theory and application of electricity, suitable for students, educators, and engineering enthusiasts alike.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Theory of Electricity: With Numerous Examples

The demand for another edition of the present work first issued in 1876 is very gratifying to the author.

The chief additions in the present edition consist of articles upon the Magnetic Circuit and on the Dynamo.

Having worked through the book in recent years with his pupils the author has learnt how much inaccuracy, obscurity and inadequacy of explanation remained even in the last issue, and he has spared no pains to remove such blemishes in the present edition.

He also takes the opportunity of thanking numerous friends both at home and in America for sending him frequent communications concerning one part and another of the book, all of which have received careful consideration.

His thanks are also specially due to his former pupil, Mr E. H. Cozens Hardy of the City Guilds Institute, who has read through nearly the whole of the proofs and made many valuable suggestions and corrections.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
