Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental nature of electricity and matter, exploring the groundbreaking discoveries and theoretical frameworks that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author, building upon the work of pioneers like Faraday, presents a compelling argument for the importance of the "lines of force" concept in understanding the electrical field. This approach challenges the prevailing notion of action at a distance, instead proposing a system of interconnected forces and energy flow. The book then examines the concept of "electrical mass," positing that a charged body's mass is not solely inherent but also influenced by the surrounding electric field and the motion of the associated "Faraday tubes." These tubes, imagined as tightly stretched strings, are responsible for carrying energy and momentum within the field, creating a dynamic and interconnected system. The book concludes with a discussion of the implications of these ideas for understanding the constitution of matter itself, suggesting that the mass of a body might be entirely electrical in origin. This thought-provoking work offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of early 20th-century physics, highlighting the profound implications of electricity for our understanding of the physical world.
