Summary "Electricity" by W. H. McCormick is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a comprehensive exploration of the science of electricity, tracing its historical development from ancient times to modern applications. It covers essential concepts related to static and dynamic electricity, electromagnetic phenomena, and various devices that utilize electricity, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the field. The opening of the book delves into the historical context of electricity, starting with early understandings revolving around natural phenomena like thunderstorms. It discusses ancient myths related to lightning and progresses to the foundational experiments of Greek philosophers, particularly the discovery of static electricity through amber. The narrative emphasizes significant figures, such as Dr. Gilbert, who laid the groundwork for the scientific study of electricity, and sets the stage for upcoming chapters that will cover various electrical phenomena, machines, and applications in depth.
