Determinations of Electrodynamic Measure

Description

Weber "proved in detail that his force law followed the principle of the conservation of energy" (Assis '94).

Duhem 2015 p. 141: "This appendix ['Ueber die Zusammenhang der elektrostatischen und der elektrodynamischen Erscheinungen nebst Anwendung auf die elektrodynamischen Maassbestimmungen '] contained the famous law of Weber."

It is p. 142 ff. of Weber's Werke vol. 3 or p. 93 (§21 or PDF p. 94) ff. of this translation.

Excellent historical background to this work is given in ch. 7 (cf. §1.3 & §9.3) of Second Physicist by Jungnickel & McCormmach
