The Electron Theory of Matter (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book provides a comprehensive overview of electron theory, a branch of physics that explores the fundamental properties of matter through the lens of electric charge. The author, a renowned expert in the field, traces the historical development of electron theory from its origins in the work of Faraday and Maxwell to its modern applications in various disciplines. The book examines the experimental evidence that led to the discovery of the electron and elucidates the concept of electromagnetic inertia, which explains the mass of electrons in terms of their electric fields. It delves into the properties of electric charges, including the distinction between positive and negative charges, and explores the forces that govern their interactions. The author also discusses the concept of electric potential, a scalar quantity that describes the work done in moving a charge from one point to another in an electric field. The book explores the relationship between electric potential and electric intensity, and introduces Gauss's Theorem, a fundamental principle that relates the surface integral of electric intensity to the enclosed electric charge. Through its rigorous yet accessible explanations, this book offers a deep understanding of the fundamental principles of electrostatics and electron theory. It is an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in gaining a comprehensive grasp of this captivating field of physics.
