Excerpt from Potential: And Its Application to the Explanation of Electrical Phenomena; Popularly Treated

The term potential was originally introduced into the language of science in order to denote an abstract mathematical conception, which, when introduced physically, is seen to afford a simple and comprehensive expression for some of the most fundamental relations involving the idea of force. The notion of potential has thus come to form the starting-point of the modern theoretical treatment of several very important branches of science, and notably of electricity and magnetism familiarity with it has consequently become essen tial for the accurate study of even the elementary parts of these subjects.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed exploration of the concept of potential, a fundamental idea in physics for understanding the relationship between force and energy. The author begins with an accessible introduction to potential energy in gravitational fields, then moves on to discuss how the concept of potential applies to the study of electricity and magnetism and finally to electromagnetic and electrodynamic phenomena. The author takes the reader on a journey, with explanations and derivations kept accessible and easy to follow throughout. Specific topics covered include potential energy in gravitational fields, potential of a homogeneous spherical shell, potential of a material particle, potential due to two material particles, potential of a homogeneous sphere on itself, magnetism, electromagnetic potential, motion of magnets and currents, and induction. The book is not mathematically demanding, and clear diagrams and illustrative examples are included to enhance the text. It is suitable for students of physics and electromagnetism, as well as for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of this foundational concept. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330450024_0
