It then explores the development of electrical technology, including the invention of the battery, the electric motor, and the light bulb. Munro delves into the scientific principles behind electricity, including electromagnetism and electrical circuits. He also examines the impact of electricity on society, from its role in the Industrial Revolution to its use in modern technology. The book includes illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the complex concepts and technologies discussed.Overall, The Story of Electricity is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history and science of electricity. It provides a clear and engaging account of the key discoveries and inventions that have shaped our understanding of this powerful force.The list shows that quality, as well as kind, of material affects the production of electricity. Thus polished glass when rubbed with silk is positive, whereas rough glass is negative. Cork at ordinary temperature is positive when rubbed with hot cork. Black silk is negative to white silk, and it has been observed that the best radiator and absorber of light and heat is the most negative.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
