Principles of electricity by Maynard Shipley
"Principles of Electricity" by Maynard Shipley is a scientific publication written during the early 20th century. This book aims to explain the fundamental principles of electricity and magnetism, exploring concepts from basic definitions to the relationships between various electrical phenomena and their historical context. In the book, Shipley begins with a clear definition of electricity and its nature as a form of energy. He discusses the historical perspectives of early philosophers and
scientists like Thales and Faraday, tracing the development of theories relating to electricity and magnetism. Key concepts covered include electrostatics, magnetic phenomena, and the pioneering experiments that led to the advancement of wireless telegraphy, ultimately explaining how electricity functions and its various applications. The text also delves into the contributions made to electromagnetic theory by notable figures from history while addressing contemporary understanding—and ongoing questions—about the nature of electricity.
