UNDER the title of Mechanic a-Chemical Sciences, I include the laws of :Magnetism, Electricity, Gal vanism, and the other classes of phenomena closely related to these, as Thermo-electricity. This group of subjects forms a curious and interesting portion of our physical knowledge; and not the least of the circumstances which give them their interest, is that double bearing upon mechanical and chemical principles, which their name is intended to imply. Indeed, at first sight t.hey appear to be purely }fechanical Sciences; the attractions and repulsions, the pressure and motion, which occur in these cases, are referrible to mechanical conceptions and laws, as completely as the weight or fall of terrestrial bodies, or the motion of the moon and planets. And if the phon omena of magnetism and electricity had directed us only to such laws, the corresponding sciences must have been arranged as branches of mechanics. But we find that, on the other side, these phenomena ha

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the history of the discovery of electricity and magnetism. These interconnected forces baffled some of the greatest minds in science. The author traces the steps taken by early experimenters to isolate electrical phenomena from other forces in nature, and explores the development of theories on the behavior of magnetic poles. The book also examines the impact that discoveries in electricity and magnetism have had on other branches of science and technology, such as astronomy and chemistry, through figures such as Newton, Franklin, Coulomb, and others. An intriguing tale of scientific discovery awaits, with the author providing accessible explanations of the foundational principles of electricity and magnetism. The book's insights into these invisible forces shine a light on the relentless drive to understand the universe's complexities. 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 r�f. du vendeur 9781440041778_0
