Publisher's Synopsis
""A Popular Sketch of Electromagnetism or Electrodynamics: And Outlines of the Parent Sciences of Electricity and Magnetism"" is a book written by Francis Watkins and published in 1856. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the principles of electromagnetism and electrodynamics, two fields of study that have revolutionized the way we understand the physical world. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of electromagnetism and its related sciences. The first chapter provides an introduction to the basic concepts of electricity and magnetism, including the properties of electric charges, the behavior of magnetic fields, and the relationships between electric and magnetic forces. Subsequent chapters delve deeper into the principles of electromagnetism, including the laws of electromagnetic induction, the nature of electromagnetic waves, and the behavior of electric circuits. Along the way, Watkins also explores the historical development of these fields, highlighting the contributions of notable scientists such as Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell. Overall, ""A Popular Sketch of Electromagnetism or Electrodynamics: And Outlines of the Parent Sciences of Electricity and Magnetism"" is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history and principles of electromagnetism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
