A Treatise on Electricity (Classic Reprint) by Frederick Bernard Pidduck Pdf

Excerpt from A Treatise on Electricity N the present book I have tried to meet the needs of those readers who require an advanced text covering both the theoretical and practical sides of: the subject, as far as this can conveniently be done in a single volume. Though complete in itself, the book is not intended for beginners, who may be supposed to have read one of the excellent elementary treatises available, such as Whetham's Theory of Experimental Electricity. Space saved from the detailed treatment of elementary topics has been used to give an account of some of the more recent developments of electricity. It thus comes about that the book falls naturally into two sections; the first eight chapters having been kept fairly simple and containing all the principles necessary for a right appreciation of the subject, while the remaining chapters form introductory accounts of special subjects, which may be consulted by students before starting on treatises devoted to them alone.

A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) by James Clerk Maxwell Pdf

Excerpt from A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism, Vol. 1 In describing the phenomena, I shall select those which most clearly illustrate the fundamental ideas of the theory, omitting others, or reserving them till the reader is more advanced. The most important aspect of any phenomenon from a mathematical point of view is that of a measurable quantity. I shall therefore consider electrical pheno mena chiefly with a view to their measurement, de scribing the methods of measurement, and defining the standards on which they depend. In the application of mathematics to the calculation of electrical quantities, I shall endeavour in the first place to deduce the most general conclusions from the data at our disposal, and in the next place to apply the results to the simplest cases that can be chosen. I shall avoid, as much as I can, those questions which, though they have elicited the skill of mathematicians, have not enlarged our knowledge of science.

Elementary Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (Classic Reprint) by George Carey Foster Pdf

Excerpt from Elementary Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism The endeavour to carry out this idea implied the keeping in view from the beginning of the dual character of electrification and the emphasising of the essential part played in the most familiar electrical phenomena by the dielectric medium in which they occur. This led to the early introduction of the idea of lines and tubes of force, and involved the rewriting of several chapters or parts of chapters.

Notes on Recent Researches in Electricity and Magnetism, Intended as a Sequel by J. J. Thomson Pdf

Excerpt from Notes on Recent Researches in Electricity and Magnetism, Intended as a Sequel: To Professor Clerk-Maxwell's Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism In the twenty years which have elapsed since the first appearance of Maxwell's Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism great progress has been made in these sciences. This progress has been largely - perhaps it would not be too much to say mainly - due to the influence of the views set forth in that Treatise, to the value of which it offers convincing testimony. In the following work I have endeavoured to give an account of some recent electrical researches, experimental as well as theoretical, in the hope that it may assist students to gain some acquaintance with the recent progress of Electricity and yet retain Maxwell's Treatise as the source from which they learn the great principles of the science. I have adopted exclusively Maxwell's theory and have not attempted to discuss the consequences which would follow from any other view of electrical action. I have assumed throughout the equations of the Electromagnetic Field given by Maxwell in the ninth chapter of the second volume of his Treatise. The first chapter of this work contains an account of a method of regarding the Electric Field, which is geometrical and physical rather than analytical. I have been induced to dwell on this because I have found that students, especially those who commence the subject after a long course of mathematical studies, have a great tendency to regard the whole of Maxwell's theory as a matter of the solution of certain differential equations, and to dispense with any attempt to form for themselves a mental picture of the physical processes which accompany the phenomena they are investigating.

A Treatise on Frictional Electricity by William Snow Harris Pdf

Excerpt from A Treatise on Frictional Electricity: In Theory and Practice The life of a scientific man seldom calls for much exertion on the part of his biographer. Such a life may be even less eventful than that of a literary man; for not only has the latter a wider and more varied audience, but his work has more individuality and more character; it is more a reflection of the author's mind, more rounded and complete, than a scientific work the one belongs to the man, the other to nature; the one remains for all time as an exponent of the author's mind, the other is soon absorbed into the general body of science, and its author more or less forgotten. This need not be regretted, since the Object of science is the discovery of truth, not individual celebrity and our love and gratitude are not the less due to the men who have laboured in the cause of truth, even though their work be quickly absorbed, and their books and memoirs soon cease to be read. The author of the volume now before the reader completed the allotted term of man's life. He made some important discoveries in electrical science, laboured long and successfully to introduce into the Royal Navy his system of lightning conductors, was an excellent sailor, an accomplished musician, a lively intellectual companion, a steady friend, and he died honoured and beloved.

Treatise on Magnetism and Electricity, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint) by Andrew Gray Pdf

Excerpt from Treatise on Magnetism and Electricity, Vol. 1 of 2 As to the mode of treatment I have adopted, a few words are necessary. The book is not a treatise on the mathematical theory of electricity merely, but is, I hope, to some extent successful in bringing the theory and practice together. Thus while in general assuming some elementary acquaintance on the part of the reader with electrical phenomena and their laws, I have endeavoured first to look at the phenomena as they present themselves, and then to show how they fall into their places in the general scheme of electrical action, and to point out the consequences to which they lead. As stated in the words of Bacon I have placed on the title-page, it is a double process by which natural philosophy advances; we ascend from experiments to causes, and descend from causes to experiments, and it is most requisite that these two parts be severally considered and handled.

A Treatise on Atmospherical Electricity by John Murray Pdf

Excerpt from A Treatise on Atmospherical Electricity: Including Lightning Rods and Paragreles Comparatively small, but it is lightning still, and those mimic fires that sparkle and explode may yet assume a loftier ight, become an integrant part of the forked terrors of the sky, and serve to swell the thunder's peal. Considerations such as these should kindle up an intensity of interest, awaken the powers of curiosity, and whet our intellect for the study of its mystic won ders; is it not a sublime and imposing spectacle to stand by and contemplate science connecting, as it were, the heavens with the earth by a slender metallic rod, and presently witness the lightning descend upon its summit in all its terrible grandeur, and finally glide into the bosom of the earth in harmless corruscations The rival scene may be sought for, but is no where to be found. When studying electricity, we are in vestigating the mightiest and most mysterious of na ture's powers, interrogating its laws and agencies, and making lightning subservient to experiment by introduc ing such quantities only as can be safely managed in our scrutiny: for science can describe her magic circle round this formidable power, and within that barrier it may be handled and examined with impunity.
