Excerpt from A Textbook on Civil Engineering: Dynamos and Motors, Electric Lighting, Electric Railways
Electrical science is founded upon the effects produced by the action Of certain forces upon matter, and all knowledge of the science is deduced from these effects. The study of the fundamental principles of electricity is an analysis of a series Of experiments and the Classification Of the results in each particular case under general laws and rules. It is not necessary to keep in mind any hypothesis Of the exact nature of electricity; its effects, and the laws which govern them.
