Pàgina 210 - That gravity should be innate, inherent and essential to matter, so that one body may act upon another at a distance through a vacuum, without the mediation of anything else, by and through which their action and force may be conveyed from one to another, is to me so great an absurdity, that I believe no man who has in philosophical matters a competent faculty of thinking, can ever fall into it.
Pàgina 334 - Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies.
Pàgina 63 - chemical and electrical attractions are produced by the same cause ; acting in one case on particles, in the other on masses : and the same property, under different modifications, is the cause of all the phenomena exhibited by different voltaic combinations.
Pàgina 305 - The aspect of the lunar-diurnal variation at Kew and Hobarton presents features of great simplicity as well as accord. The form at both stations is a division of the 24 lunar hours into four equal or nearly equal portions, in which the magnet is attracted alternately to the east and to the west of its mean position, which is passed through four times in the progress of the magnet towards two extreme easterly and two extreme westerly deflections : the easterly extremes arc about 1 2 hours apart, and...
Pàgina 216 - ... eleven they noticed a very bright star of light suddenly break out over the spot and move with great velocity across the sun's surface. On Mr. Carrington sending afterwards to Kew Observatory, at which place the position of the magnet is recorded continuously by photography, it was found that a magnetic disturbance had broken out at the very moment when this singular appearance had been observed.
Pàgina 74 - According to my theory, an element or a substance not decomposable under the circumstances of the experiment, (as for instance, a dilute acid or alkali), should not be transferred, or pass from pole to pole, unless it be in chemical relation to some other element or substance tending to pass in the opposite direction, for the effect is considered as essentially due to the mutual relation of such particles. But the theories attributing the determination of the elements to the attractions and repulsions...
Pàgina 232 - ... plate which is observed, and show by a diagram what is taking place in the plate at any instant. (1868). It is caused by the currents set up, by induction, in a contrary direction to that in which, according to Ampere's theory, they circulate round the poles of a magnet. Or, in the words of Lenz's law, when a current is induced in a conductor by the motion of a magnet or current or of the conductor, the current induced flows in such a direction that its action opposes the motion producing it.
Pàgina 252 - ... the axis of the earth is not perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic, but is inclined twenty-three degrees and twenty-eight minutes.
Pàgina 74 - ... pole be made of the lightest spongy platina, the effect is the same. Or if gold precipitated by sulphate of iron be diffused through the solution, still accumulation of it at the negative pole will not take place ; and yet in it the attraction of cohesion is almost perfectly overcome, the particles are so small as to remain for hours in suspension, and are perfectly free to move by the slightest impulse towards either pole ; and If in relation by chemical affinity to any substance present, are...
Pàgina 305 - ... zero), are four, and are nearly the same at Kew and at Hobarton, two of them being a little more than an hour before the moon's passage of the meridian, both at her upper and lower culminations, and the other two intermediate. So far the two stations are alike ; but in regard to the direction towards which the magnet is deflected (if in conformity with general usage we speak in both hemispheres of the north end of the magnet, as is done in the Table), we see that the variation becomes west at...
