Main Works on Electrodynamics (vol. 3): Measurement of Weber’s Constant c, Diamagnetism, the Telegraph Equation and the Propagation of Electric Waves at Light Velocity

Description

These translations include Weber's 8 major Memoirs on Electrodynamic Measurements. There are also English translations of 5 papers by Carl Friedrich Gauss, translations of part of the correspondence between Gauss and Weber, 1 paper by Weber and Friedrich Wohler, 2 papers by Weber and Rudolf Kohlrausch [who measured cwith a torsion balance experiment,Weber & Kohlrausch 1856 (pp. 131ff); Kohlrausch & Weber 1857 (pp. 141ff.)], 1 paper by Gustav Theodor Fechner, 1 paper by Johann Christian Poggendorff, 1 paper by François Felix Tisserand, 2 papers by Carl Neumann, and 3 papers by Gustav Kirchhoff.

Most of these works had never been translated before. They allow a broad overview of the main original publications related to Weber's Electrodynamics.

The translators include Laurence Hecht (his review), David H. Delphenich, Peter Marquardt, Hermann Haertel, Jonathan Tennenbaum, Peyman Ghaffari, Joa Weber and Urs Frauenfelder.
