Synopsis
A foundational study of electricity that explains how electric fluid behaves and interacts with matter, from basic principles to practical experiments.
This volume presents the core ideas behind electrical phenomena, including the nature of the electric fluid, how it is attracted to and repelled by bodies, and why only a limited amount can be held by substances. It guides you through key experiments with Leyden jars, discharging rods, and early electrical machines, linking theoretical principles to observable effects.
- Clear statements of the leading principles that drive electrical phenomena
- Step-by-step demonstrations of classic experiments and their implications
- Explanations of how electrical charge moves and is conserved
- Connections between electricity, light, and natural occurrences like lightning
Ideal for readers of early electrical science, and anyone curious about how the mind of a pioneer explains electricity to beginners and seasoned learners alike.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of electricity as a physical phenomenon in nature as understood in the 18th century. The author contends that electricity exists as a corporeal (physical) substance that can be transferred between objects through the application of friction. The author discusses various experiments and observations that were performed by early electricians and provides explanations for the observed phenomena. The work also delves into the relationship between electricity and other physical phenomena, such as heat and magnetism. Overall, the book offers an in-depth look at the early history of electricity and provides valuable insights into the foundations of electrical science.
