Book Description

Excerpt from Elementary Manual of Magnetism and Electricity: Specially Arranged for the Use of First-Year Science and Art Department and Other Electrical Students This Manual has been written expressly for Elementary or First-year Students of Magnetism and Electricity. It covers the Elementary Stage of the Science and Art Department's Examination; but, at the same time, the treatment is sufficiently general for students of Public and Private Schools who have not these examinations specially in view. The book is divided into three distinct parts. Part I. treats of Magnetism; Part II. of Electro-Magnetism and Current Electricity under the general heading of Voltaic Electricity; and Part III. of Electro-Statics, or what is commonly termed Frictional Electricity. Each of these parts is sub-divided into seven or eight short Lectures, full of illustrations of apparatus and experiments. A Test-question with Answer has been given at the end of most of the Lectures; and, in addition, a series of carefully selected questions has been arranged in the precise order of, and relating solely to, each Lecture, so that teachers and students may have a minimum of trouble in finding suitable examples.
