It was begun with the idea of providing a text-book from which students, well grounded in the elementary branches of physics, might obtain some knowledge of the later developments; there is no doubt that such a book is needed urgently. But, in the course of writing, departures from the original scheme have been made. There are lengthy descriptions of theories which may be assumed to be familiar to such students, and there are discussions of controversial questions which may be thought undesirable in the early stages of study: it is improbable that a reader, who could gain much new information from the first chapter, could gain much benefit from the last. On the.other hand, the book does not aspire to the dignity of a treatise designed to bring the results of the latest original research to the notice of those who have made a special study of the newer branches of physics: there is little that is not well-known to all professed students of the subject. However, I hope that the following pages are not wholly without use or interest. I have attempted to expound the subject in its logical order, to analyse the arguments by which the various phenomena are correlated, to draw special attention to the assumptions that are made, and to show which of these assumptions are fundamental in the modern theory of electricity and which may be expected to be abandoned in the further progress of investigation.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the realm of modern electrical theory, evolving our understanding of electricity and its relationship with matter. The author traces the history of electrical science, highlighting the contributions of great minds like Faraday and Maxwell. By introducing the concept of the electron, the book challenges the traditional view of continuous electrical distribution, suggesting instead that charges are concentrated on minute particles. This fundamental shift in perspective has revolutionized our comprehension of the electromagnetic properties of substances, opening new avenues for exploration in various scientific disciplines. The book's in-depth analysis of electromagnetic theory provides a solid foundation for further research and innovation in the field of electrical science. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330869062_0
