Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treatise on Electricity, Vol. 1 of 2: In Theory and Practice That Mineralogy and Geology would in a great mea sure have found in it the explanation of the origin of their crystals and of their strata that Physiology would have deduced from it a more intimate knowledge of the forces that rule over animated matter, and the secret of acting on such matter almost as life acts? That Medicine would have discovered in it resources against maladies hitherto assumed to be incurable that the Metallurgic Arts would have found in it new processes for extracting, moulding, and applying metals that, finally, it would have furnished to Mechanics a force, as prompt as thought, equally independent of time and space, would have en abled intelligence to escape from its limited envelope, to dart at pleasure with the rapidity of lightning into the most distant regions. Such, however, are the marvels that Electricity has accomplished in less than a century; such are the links that now unite it in an indissoluble manner with all the parts of the physical sciences. And hence the study of it has become indispensable to all who cultivate these sciences, to the chemist, as well as to the natural philosopher, to the geologist, as much as to the physiologist, to the engineer, as well as to the physician. All are compelled to meet Electricity in their path; all consequently have need of becoming familiarised with it. I have been induced to think that a work designed to satisfy a want which is universally felt, would be received with favour. The very abridged manner, and the unmethodical style in which Electricity is for the most part treated in the treatises on Physics is not at all calculated for attaining that end; and, on the other hand, the special works that are devoted to it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Physics, Vol. 1: Ponderable Bodies Tnn study of the physical sciences has become of 1 almost universal; partly because it has been found v suited to cultivate habits of observation and reasoni which cannot fail to be of use in the business of life, a partly because the practical application of scientific p) ciples to the details of almost every department of mm facturing and agricultural industry, has rendered sc acquaintance with natural philosophy and chemistry im pensable. Instruction in these branches of knowle now forms part of the education given to most boys school: to meet their requirements so many treatises h already been published, that to add to the number n seem a mark of presumption. To this objection translator was not altogether insensible whilst prepar the present Text-book for the press; he believes, howew that on examination it will be found that the man now oﬂ'ered to the public occupies ground not taken up any existing treatise on Natural Philosophy, for the wo on this science in our language are, almost without caption, either purely theoretical, or they are, in the stricw sense of the term, popular.

To page he has substituted the methods given by Baily and Littrow for the barometric measurement of altitudes for that of the author, which was both more involved than theirs, and also too long for the space that could be afforded for it in the translation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Physics: An Elementary Treatise on Natural Philosophy The teaching of elementary physics in our colleges and tech nical schools has been growing more and more exacting for many years, and the ideal would seem to be an inescapable rigor, as in the teaching of mathematics, combined with a powerful imaginative stimulus such as can be realized only in the teaching of Natural Philosophy. We have prepared this elementary treatise on physics as a further step towards this ideal. A clear understanding of the two great generalizations of physics, namely, the Conservation of Energy and the Law of Entropy, would alone constitute a very considerable knowledge of Natural Philosophy, and we have therefore devoted a good deal of space to these things.

This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Physics, Designed for Use as a Textbook of General Physics When a man exerts his muscles in moving a body or in pushing or pulling a body which he cannot move, he is con scious of the exertion of force. In many cases, as when he bends a spring or sustains a weight, he interprets his sensa tion by saying, that the body against which he acts exerts a force in the opposite direction to the one which he is exerting and of equal magnitude. He further believes that the body, when in the same position or condition, is still exerting a force, even though he does not directly perceive the counter acting force. He thus feels willing to use bodies in certain conditions or positions as the means by which forces may be exerted. When a body is sustained in the air by the hand, the force exerted by the hand, as is shown by universal experience, is directed vertically upwards. The force which the body is assumed to exert in the opposite direction or vertically down wards, is called its weight. Universal experience has shown that the weight of a body depends on its size and on the material of which it is composed. If different bodies com posed of the same material and of equal volume are tested by A the hand, or.in any other way, it is found that their weights are equal. Two of these bodies will have the same weight as a body of the same material and of a volume double that of either one of them. By suitable. Combinations of equal weights, any one of which is selected as a unit, a scale of forces can be constructed.
