Sinopsis

Explore the practical and theoretical foundations of electricity and magnetism. This comprehensive treatise introduces the forces, fields, and circuits that govern electrical phenomena, from potential and current to the behavior of galvanic cells and Ohm’s law.


Written with clear explanations and historical context, the book combines core theory with worked examples and experiments. It explains how electrical charge moves, how conductors differ in carrying current, and how devices like batteries, condensers, and electrometers operate. You’ll also see how magnetic fields relate to electric circuits and how these ideas form the basis of electrical measurements and technology.



  • Fundamental concepts: field of force, potential, equipotential surfaces, and the law of inverse squares.

  • Practice with circuits: series and parallel arrangements, internal resistance, and Ohm’s law.

  • Voltaic cells and practical batteries, including series and parallel configurations and early electric instruments.

  • Introductory treatment of thermo-electricity and the relationship between temperature and electromotive force.


Ideal for readers seeking a solid grounding in the theory and application of electricity, suitable for students, educators, and engineering enthusiasts alike.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Theory of Electricity: With Numerous Examples

HE demand for another edition of the present work first issued in 1876 is very gratifying to the author.

The chief additions in the present edition consist of articles upon the Magnetic Circuit and on the Dynamo.

Having worked through the book in recent years with his pupils the author has learnt how much inaccuracy, obscurity and inadequacy of explanation remained even in the last issue, and he has spared no pains to remove such blemishes in the present edition.

He also takes the opportunity of thanking numerous friends both at home and in America for sending him frequent communications concerning one part and another of the book, all of which have received careful consideration.
