About this Item

WHEATSTONE, Charles. "An Account of Several New Instruments and Processes for Determining the Constants of a Voltaic Circuit." In: Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society London, Vol. 133, Part II, 1843, pp. 303-327, with two folding plates (XVI-XVII). This is the entire Wheatstone paper, disbound from the larger bound volume. Very good condition overall, except that the plates have some foxing and are in GOOD condition. [++] "In 1843 Wheatstone published an experimental verification of Ohm's Law, helping to make the law (already well known in Germany) more familiar in England. In connection with the verification he developed new ways of measuring resistances and currents. In particular, he invented the rheostat and popularized the Wheatstone bridge"--Complete DSB online.
