Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the exciting and rapidly evolving world of electricity and matter, a world that was just beginning to be understood at the turn of the 20th century. The author skillfully guides the reader through the groundbreaking discoveries of the time, exploring the fundamental nature of electricity, the behavior of gases under electrical influence, and the surprising properties of radioactive substances. The book examines the newly discovered electron, a tiny particle that carries a fundamental unit of negative charge and is found to be a constituent of all matter. The author then turns to the intricate workings of gases, explaining how they can be transformed from excellent insulators into conductors through the process of ionization, a phenomenon driven by agents like X-rays and radioactive materials. The book delves deep into the nature of ions, exploring their mobility and recombination within gases, as well as their surprising ability to serve as nuclei for the condensation of water drops. The author's meticulous explanations, enriched by detailed accounts of classical experiments, offer a fascinating glimpse into the dawn of a new era in physics. This book provides a comprehensive and engaging introduction to a subject that has revolutionized our understanding of the universe.
