Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A d104-Book of General Physics for College Students: Electricity, Electromagnetic Waves, and Sound
Several aims have been kept in mind in the preparation of the following text: (1) To make the descriptions, proofs, state ments, and illustrations clear to the average student. (2) To emphasize the physical side of physics, point out its applications in the commercial world, and give more than an outline in the development of a topic. (3) To incorporate in the body of the discussions and in their proper place the electronic and electro magnetic theories now so well established.
The discussion of electricity begins with the experimental evidence which led to a belief in the electron, and the ordinary phenomena of electricity are explained in accordance with this theory.
Magnetism comes early in the discussion and emphasis is placed on the fact that a magnetic field is the result of an electric charge in motion.
The explanation of electrolysis is given in accordance with modern theories, and an unusual amount of space has been given to the very important subject of electromagnetic induction.
