“The Principles of Magnetism and Electricity” [PDF]
THERE are two points occurring in the review (p. 434) of “The Principles of Magnetism and Electricity” in which the author appears to me to be correct, though the examples are given as instancing errors into which he has fallen. The reviewer states, “The author measures magnetic force in dynes and difference of potential in ergs,” thereby apparently ...
