Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electricity and Matter In these Lectures given at Yale University in May, 1903, I have attempted to discuss the bear ing of the recent advances made in Electrical Science on our views of the Constitution of Matter and the Nature of Electricity; two questions which are probably so intimately connected, that the solution of the one would supply that of the other. A characteristic feature of recent Electri cal Researches, such as the study and discovery of Cathode and Rontgen Rays and Radioactive Substances, has been the very especial degree in which they have involved the relation between Matter and Electricity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ethereal Matter: Electricity and Akasa It seems as if this ether has, generally, been considered to be a simple and uniform fluid. A somewhatmore unreasonable theory has lately been worked out by Sir William Thompson and others, who consider it to be an elastic solid which fills the whole universe, and who try to illustrate all physical phenomena by the vibrations of an elastic solid. It may be remarked that this theory was held to be orthodox in Sir Wil liam Thompson's time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Electrical Nature of Matter and Radioactivity The content of this book has already been published as a series of articles in the Electrical Review. The two correlated subjects under consideration are of such general interest, that it has seemed desirable that the discussion of them should be made accessible in compact form. The several chapters as they originally appeared have, therefore, been carefully revised, and brought together in one volume. The author would extend his sincere thanks to his assistant, Dr. H. S. Uhler, for a number of valuable suggestions in connection with the revision of the work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electrons, or the Nature and Properties of Negative Electricity In 1902 I was asked by the President of the Institution of Electrical Engineers to give to that body a discourse on recent progress towards knowledge of the nature of Electricity, especially concerning its discontinuous or atomic structure. This discourse, greatly extended, appeared in Vol. 32 of the Journal of the Institution, and constitutes the nucleus of the present book. Many additions have now been made, and some of the difficulties recently promulgated concerning the possibility of an electric theory of matter are touched upon. They are of date too recent to have been mentioned even in my "Romanes Lecture" before the University of Oxford, published under the title Modern Views of Matter by the Clarendon Press. The most important addition is a more detailed account of the proof of the purely electrical nature of the mass or inertia of an electron: an investigation generally associated on the experimental side with the name of Kaufmann, but of course based on the work of many predecessors and contemporaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Survival These are days of astonishing progress in physical science. Every year almost can be credited with some notable advance of a momentous kind. The twentieth century was heralded by the discovery of the atomic nature of electricity, which, long suspected by a few, then became the common property of all those who were in the van of progress and were actively engaged in investigation, whether in the study or the laboratory. Not only was electricity proved to consist of small particles, whose size, weight and velocities could be definitely ascertained and measured, but it was found that the very atoms of matter were electrically composed; and the foundation was laid Of the Electrical Theory of Matter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Matter and Energy The behaviour of matter and energy represents one aspect only of human knowl edge, which is generally known by the name of physical science. It seems well to state at the outset that, throughout these pages, when the term science is employed it refers solely to this one branch. Physical science enjoys the distinction of being the most fundamental of the experimental sciences, and its laws are obeyed universally, so far as is known, not merely by inanimate things, but also by living organisms, in their minutest parts, as single individuals, and also as whole communities. It results from this that, however complicated a series of phenomena may be and however many other sciences.

Download or read book The Electron Theory of Matter Classic Reprint written by Owen Willans Richardson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Electron Theory of Matter His book is based on a course of lectures which I have delivered to graduate students at Princeton University during the last few years. My aim has been to exhibit the extent to which the fundamental facts of physical science may be coordinated by means of the conception of the electron and the laws of electrodynamics. In developing the subject I have started from the most elementary beginnings, and I have therefore found it necessary to include much matter which is to be found in any ordinary text-book of the theory of electricity and magnetism. It is hoped that the lack of conciseness thereby involved may be more than atoned for by the wider circle to which the book may appeal. The course of lectures at Princeton on which the book is founded proved useful as an introduction to the methods of modern mathematical physics in addition to forming a presentation of the results of recent physical discovery. The broad scope of the subject makes it imperative that a good deal of selection should be exercised as to the nature and treatment of the topics considered. In determining these, consideration has been given to importance, interest, and instructiveness, roughly in the order named. The necessary incompleteness is remedied to some extent by references to scientific papers and to other works. These references are intended to supplement the discussion in the text rather than to exhibit the historical development of the subject. Thus many important papers are not referred to. I have tried, however, to be as accurate as possible in any statements which deal specifically with historical matters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Views of Electricity The most interesting and important portion of physics at the present day is that constantly growing portion which is concerned with the properties and function of the universal connecting medium, the ether. All the phenomena of light, of electricity, and of magnetism, as well as of what is spoken of as radiant heat, are intimately connected with, and indeed Wholly dependent on, that medium; it is through these agencies that We have gradually become aware of its existence and able in some degree to Investigate it. Probably gravitation, cohesion, and chemical affinity are no less Closely associated with the ether; and it is becoming doubtful Whether matter itself could exist without it.
