Ampère, Faraday, and the Origins of Electrodynamics
Explorative Experimente. Ampère, Faraday und die Ursprünge der Elektrodynamik
Friedrich Steinle Alex Levine
résumé
In this foundational study, Friedrich Steinle compares the influential work of Ampère and Faraday to reveal the prominent role of exploratory experimentation in the development of science. Focusing on Ampère’s and Faraday’s research practices, reconstructed from previously unknown archival materials, this book considers both the historic and epistemological basis of exploratory experimentation—and its importance to scientific development.
