First published in 1893, Notes on Recent Researches in Electricity and Magnetism is a scientific treatise by Joseph John Thomson (1856 - 1940), an English physicist and Nobel Laureate. Thompson was most famous for his discovery of the electron, which was the very first subatomic particle to be found. He was also responsible for unearthing the first evidence for isotopes of a stable element in 1913. Thomson won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1906 for his work related to conduction of electricity in gases. This volume concentrates on electricity and magnetism, and it is highly recommended for those with an interest in early scientific studies in these fields. Contents include: Electric Displacement, Faraday Tubes, Unit Faraday Tubes, Analogy with Kinetic Theory of Gases, Reasons for Taking Tubes of Electrostatic Induction as the Unit, Energy in the Electric Field, Behaviour of Faraday Tubes in a Conductor, Connection Between Electric Displacement and Faraday Tubes, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of magnetism.
