Master the fundamentals of static electricity with a classic reference for students and professionals.

This edition explains how charge, potential, and capacity are defined and measured, linking theory to practical laboratory practice. It covers unit systems, the relationship between electrostatic and electromagnetic quantities, and how experiments illuminate the electromagnetic nature of light.

This edition guides you through practical measurement techniques, from calculating condenser capacity to using Wheatstone bridges and differential galvanometers. It explains how dielectric materials, conduction, hysteresis, and charging timing affect measurements, and it shows how to compare capacities using known references. The material blends clear explanations with step‑by‑step experimental methods, making complex ideas approachable for readers building a solid foundation in electrostatics and its applications.

Foundational concepts: charge, potential, capacity, and the connection between electrostatic and electromagnetic units.
Experimental methods: measuring capacity, using bridges, and comparing unknown condensers with known standards.
Device insight: galvanometers, electrometers, and methods to calibrate and interpret readings.
Practical context: how dielectric properties, conduction, and hysteresis influence real measurements.

Ideal for readers of introductory physics, engineering students, and anyone seeking a rigorous, hands‑on look at static electricity and its measurement.
