About this book
Thomas M. St. John wrote The Study of Elementary Electricity and Magnetism by Experiment. The book says it is designed as a text-book for amateurs, students, and others who wish to take up a systematic course of simple experiments. A discussion says Exp. 53 shows that an electrified body attracts neutral ones. The text says the Greek word for amber is elektron, and from this has been made the word electricity.
A passage says two pieces of sheet copper will serve as the electrodes. A passage says the two gases liberated in Exp. 147 were hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O), and gives the chemical formula for water as H 2 O. The text says iron filings cling to a magnet where poles are located.
