Electricity (Classic Reprint): Theoretically and Practically Considered, by the Aid of Thermo-Electricity: Theoretically and Practically Considered, by the Aid of Thermo-Electricity (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Delve into the book Electricity: Theoretically and Practically Considered to see early thermo-electric experiments and how heat and electricity influence each other.
This edition presents a practical look at how scientists in the late 19th century tested thermo-couples. It covers the use of soft iron and zinc-antimony alloys, the importance of clean joints, and the need to control temperature precisely during experiments. The text explains how heating methods, instrument connections, and material properties affected readings on the galvanometer. It also introduces different forms of thermo-couples and the idea that moving heat at the junctions can generate measurable electromotive force.
Readers will follow hands-on descriptions, from simple coils and casts to more complex arrangements, and see how researchers interpreted unexpected results. The narrative ties together experimental setups, observed values, and the evolving explanations for why certain configurations produce higher or lower signals. A notable project mentioned is a Magnopile, described as a potential commercial success. The material helps readers understand how practical testing informed early theories of electricity.
- How thermo-electromotive force arises at metal junctions and how material choices matter
- Step-by-step forms of thermo-couples and how different connections affect results
- Hands-on experimental cautions, including the need for clean joints and controlled heating
- Context on early devices like the Magnopile and the role of experiments in shaping ideas about electricity
Ideal for curious readers of historical science, engineering hobbyists, and anyone interested in the early practical study of electricity.

Electricity: Theoretically and Practically Considered (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the nature of electricity, examining its origins, its properties, and its potential applications. The author argues that the prevailing theories of his time, rooted in the belief that electricity is a fluid or composed of two fluids, are flawed. Instead, the author proposes that electricity is a mode of motion produced by friction of molecules against heat and conveyed away by metal conductors. The book challenges established notions and presents a groundbreaking theory supported by research and experimentation. The author's insights lay the foundation for understanding the nature of electricity and its role in various phenomena, paving the way for future advancements in the field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332787890_0
