Excerpt from The Electron Theory: A Popular Introduction to the New Theory of Electricity and Magnetism
In 1811 - nearly a hundred years ago - Avogadro promulgated the important law which bears his name, and which gives expression to the fact that all the more perfect gases, when reduced to the same pressure and temperature, will contain within a given volume the same number of gaseous molecules. The fact was established: but the reason why it is so was not then understood, nor till long afterwards, when in the forties and fifties of the last century some of the activities that go on within gases became gradually known. Until these later dates it was erroneously supposed, even by careful students of nature, that natural objects which to our senses appear at rest - such as stones, coins, books, air which has been left for a long time undisturbed within a room - are in reality devoid of any internal motion.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the electron theory, an essential concept in modern physics that explains electrical and magnetic phenomena. It traces the development of the theory from its origins to its culmination in the 20th century, highlighting key discoveries such as those made by Oersted, Faraday, and Hertz. The author provides a clear and accessible explanation of the electron's properties, such as its tiny mass and negative charge, and discusses how these properties govern its behavior in various situations. The book also explores the application of the electron theory in diverse fields, from vacuum tubes and gas discharges to the understanding of magnetism and the nature of matter. With its comprehensive approach and clear writing, this book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the fundamentals of electricity and magnetism.
