MAGNETISM AND ELECTRICITY (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Magnetism and ElectricityTms small volume is intended as an introduction for beginners, and primarily for those who are reading for the South Kensington Elementary Examination in Magnetism and Electricity. It will be seen, however, that several chapters which are not necessary for that examination have been inserted in order to cover the course usually taken in a years school work.The book, which is by no means an examination manual only, is the result of practical experience in teaching, and it has been thrown into experimental form from a conviction that, if the student is to gain an adequate knowledge of the subject, it is absolutely necessary for him to acquire it by experiment. Scientific knowledge derived from mere book-work, with a View to pass some particular examination, is almost useless, and indeed is not unlikely to produce a result the opposite of that intended by the student.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
