Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. FARADAY, Michael. "Experimental-Untersuchungen uber Elektricitat" AND WITH: "Zweite Reihe von Experimental-Untersuchungen uber Elektricitat". Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1832. "Annalen der Physik und Chemie", series II, vol 25; viii, 648 pp. and 6 plates, 5 folding. The Faraday papers occupy pp. 91-142 and 142-186, with 3 associated folding engraved plates. Offered in the entire volume, bound in black cloth spine and marbled boards. [++] CONDITION and PROVENANCE: ex-library and lightly so, from the library of Bernhard Meining; then, the Deutsche Akademie der Luftfahtforschung; and on the USAAF library at Wright Patterson, and finally to the Library of Congress. Very fresh. These are the first German editions of the first memoirs of Faraday's researches on electricity, being the first two papers of his "Experimental Researches in Electricity", and containing his fundamental discovery of electromagnetic induction, and the description of the first electrical generator. The papers first appeared in Philosophical transactions in 1832. [++] Also in this volume: Elie de Beaumont "Zweiter geologischer Brief.an A.v. Humboldt "Uber die relative Alter der Gebirgszage", pp. 1-58 with two plates. There are also papers by E. Lenz, F.E. Neumann, de Saussure, Moser, Gay-Lussac, and numerous others. [++] "Although his [Faraday's] discovery of the electric motor and the dynamo was almost entirely identical to his theoretical discoveries, it laid the foundation of the modern electrical industry - electric light and power, telephony, wireless telegraphy, television etc. - by providing for the production of continuous mechanical motion from an electrical source, and vice versa."--Printing and the Mind of Man, 308. "The history of science is filled with examples of key discoveries and breakthroughs that have been published as landmark texts or journal papers, and to which one can trace the origins of whole disciplines. Such paradigm-shifting publications include Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (1543), Isaac Newton's Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687) and Albert Einstein's papers on relativity (1905 and 1915). Michael Faraday's 1832 paper on electromagnetic induction sits proudly among these works and in a sense can be regarded as having an almost immediate effect in transforming our world in a very real sense more than any of the others listed."--Jim Al-Khalili, "The birth of the electric machines: a commentary on Faraday (1832) Experimental researches in electricity ", Philosophical transactions, 13 April 2015, volume 373 issue 2039.

Titlepage to vol. 71, pp. 124-171 a. pp. 172-176 and 1 folded engraved plate showing experimental apparatus. Clean and fine. First German edition of Faraday's famous paper "On some new Electro-Magnetical Motion, and on the Theory of Magnetism. By Michael Faraday, Chemical Assistant in the Royal Institution. (1821)", recording one of the most influential discoveries in physics in the 19th Century, as Faraday here, as the very first, showed how to CONVERT THE ELECTRICAL AND MAGNETIC FORCES INTO CONTINUAL MECHANICAL MOVEMENT, thus creating the first electric motor, using the principle of electromagnetic rotation. In the first paper he introduced for the first time the concept of "LINE OF FORCE" and hereby deliniating "a picture of the universe as consisting of fields of various types, one that was more subtle, flexible, and useful than the purely mechanical picture of Galileo and Newton. The FIELD UNIVERSE was to be recognized with Maxwell half a century later and with Einstein, after an interval of another halfcentury."(Asimov)."Ever since Hans Christian oersted's announcement of the discovery of electromagnetism in the summer of 1820, editors of scientific journals had been inundated with articles on the phenomenon. Theories to explain it had multiplied, and the net effect was confusion. Were all the effects reported real ? Did the theories fit the facts ? It was to answer these questions that Phillips turned to Faraday and asked him to review the experiments and theories of the past months and separate truth from fiction,.Faraday agreed to to undertake a short historical survey.His entusiasm was aroused in September 1821, when he turned to the investigation of the peculiar nature of the magnetic force created by an electrical current. Oersted had spoken of the "electrical conflict" surrounding the wiree and had noted that "this conflict performs circles".Yet as he experimented he saw precisely what was happening. Using a small magnetic needle to map the pattern of magnetic force, he noted that oneof the poles of the needle turned in a circle as it was carried around the wire. He immediately realized that a single magnetic pole would rotate unceasingly around a current-carrying wire so long as the current flowed. He then set about devising an instrument to illustrate this effect. His paper "On some new Electro-Magnetical Motion, and on the Theory of Magnetism" appeared in the 21 October 1821 issue of the "Quarterly Journal of Science" (The paper offered in the first German edition). It records the first conversion of electrical into mechanical energy. It also contained the first notion of the line of force."(DSB IV, pp. 533).
