Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. In the early 1900s, the most important scientific debate of the day was not about the existence of the atom, but about the nature and properties of atoms and other fundamental particles. This book presents the history of an important experiment which was crucial in settling this debate. The Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge was home to some of the most important advances in physics in the 19th century, and this book gives a complete account of the most important of these: the determination of the ratio of electrical units by J.J. Thomson and his students. This book thoroughly examines the physics of electrical units and their relevance today.
