9781330246184: Four Lectures on Static Electric Induction (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

This book delves into the discoveries and theories that have shaped our understanding of electromagnetism and induction. It explores how electric induction occurs between two electrified bodies, and the question of whether this action is a direct force at a distance, or a state of strain in the intervening space. The author traces the development of the study of induction from the work of Faraday and Maxwell to the present day, examining the role of induction in phenomena such as electric charge, conduction, and the Leyden jar. The book concludes by discussing the connection between electricity and light, and explores the significance of induction in understanding the nature of these two fundamental forces. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the history and development of the study of electromagnetism and induction, offering insights into the fundamental principles that govern these phenomena.
