Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Discovery of Induced Electric Currents, Vol. 2
In December 1824, he believed with all his energy that as voltaic electricity powerfully affects a magnet, so the magnet ought to exert a reaction upon the electric current. Guided by this idea, he made an experiment, of which one part (the passage of a magnet through a metallic helix connected with a galvanometer), if separated from the rest of the experiment, would then have made the great discovery of magneto-electricity. This experiment he published in the Quarterly Journal of Science, July 1825, p. 338.
