Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Age of Electricity, From Amber-Soul to Telephone This little work is not a technical treatise, nor is it addressed in any wise to the professional electrician. It is simply an effort to present the leading principles of electrical science, their more important applications, and of these last the stories, in a plain and, it is hoped, a readable way. There are no formulas in the book. Only such technical terms as have now made their way into every-day use are employed; and the more strictly scientific branches of the subject, such as measurement, testing, etc., are omitted altogether. It is a singular fact, that probably not an electrical invention of major importance has ever been made, but that the honor of its origin has been claimed by more than one person. There was a dispute over the Leydenjar, and a long and acrimonious, controversy about the galvanic battery.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Electrical Age, Vol. 21: January 1898 Drop of potential is ascertained in avery simple manner worthy of notice. When a known current is passed through a wire of known resistance, the fall of pressure throughout the wire can be at once calculated by the rule: Drop of potential current X resistance. The pres sure at one end of the wire will vary from that of the other end by that difference. In order to make this method of, avail an ammeter must be used and the resist ance of the wire carefully determined.

Download or read book A Century of Electricity Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Thomas Corwin Mendenhall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Century of Electricity, Vol. 1 The other is of much greater interest, and will be found in the statement of the law of electro-magnetic induction at the foot Of page 159. It is here stated that, when an electric current is passed through one of two parallel wires, it causes at first a current in the same direction in the other, while the fact is that the direction of the current is opposite to that in the inducing Wire. Such an error in the statement of one of the most familiar principles of the science might easily be attributed to a lapsus calami, followed by careless proof-reading. In this instance, however, the principle is given, as stated in the text, in Faraday's own words, and, curiously enough, the distinguished discoverer committed the blunder himself, in communicat ing the result of his magnificent research to his friend Phillips, in a letter dated at Brighton, November 29, 1831; at least, it is so printed In Dr. Bence Jones's Life of Faraday, from which the statement was copied without a thought as to its correctness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Electricity A work on electricity needs little recom mendation to stimulate the interest of the gen eral reader. Electricity in its manifold applica tions is so large a factor in the comfort and con venience Of our daily life, SO essential to the industrial organization which embraces every dweller in a civilized land, so important in the development and extension of civilization itself, that a knowledge of its principles and the means through which they are directed to the service of mankind should be a part Of the mental equip ment of everyone who pretends to education in its truest sense. Let anyone stop to consider how he individually would be affected if all elec trical service were suddenly to cease, and he cannot fail to appreciate the claims of electricity to attentive study.

This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Advance in Electricity Since the Time of Franklin In a limited space I have sketched the state of Hank lin's mind in regard to the singular phenomenon of the existence of attracting or repelling charges of electricity; and I have endeavored to show that the latest theory in electricity the electron theory closely resembles his theory of excess and deficit. While his philosophical views of the phenomena of electrical sparks are largely accepted, his experiments cannot be said to have led the way to practical employments of electricity. Their lack of in uence on a great future development was due to a want of perception of the relations of magnetism to electricity. Ifi'anklin's advance in his favorite subject was completely barred by an ignorance of these rela tions. I have quoted his words to show how feeble he considered the manifestations of magnetism in compari son with those of electricity. A giant was lying concealed in his workshop. All our great advance in electricity since the time of Ifi'anklin has been due to the increase of our knowledge of magnetism. After we have con sidered the wonderful phenomena of radium we may be led to ask: are not the manifestations of magnetism still more wonderful?

Download or read book AC DC written by Tom McNichol and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-01-06 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AC/DC tells the little-known story of how Thomas Edison wrongly bet in the fierce war between supporters of alternating current and direct current. The savagery of this electrical battle can hardly be imagined today. The showdown between AC and DC began as a rather straightforward conflict between technical standards, a battle of competing methods to deliver essentially the same product, electricity. But the skirmish soon metastasized into something bigger and darker. In the AC/DC battle, the worst aspects of human nature somehow got caught up in the wires; a silent, deadly flow of arrogance, vanity, and cruelty. Following the path of least resistance, the war of currents soon settled around that most primal of human emotions: fear. AC/DC serves as an object lesson in bad business strategy and poor decision making. Edison's inability to see his mistake was a key factor in his loss of control over the ?operating system? for his future inventions?not to mention the company he founded, General Electric.
