A Treatise On Electricity And Magnetism Volume 2

Volume 2 of the great physicist and mathematician's final elaboration of the theory of electromagnetism covers the study of solenoids and shells, magnetic induction, methods of observation, and terrestrial magnetism. Additional topics include the mutual action of electric currents, dimensions of electric units, and much more. 1891 edition.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Volume 2 of Maxwell's 1873 influential contribution to physics covers magnetism and electromagnetism, including the electromagnetic theory of light.
