The present introduction to electricity, magnetism, light and the brain is the third of a six-volume overview of physics that arose from a threefold aim that I have pursued since 1990: to present motion in a way that is simple, up to date and captivating. Indeed, almost everything around us is due to electric processes. In the structure of physics, shown in Figure 1, motion due to electricity is the most fascinating aspect of the starting point at the bottom. The story ranges from the weighing of electric current to the use of magnetic fields to heal bone fractures and up to the understanding of the human brain. This volume presents the adventures one encounters when exploring everything electric. Curiosity about how people, animals, things, images and space move leads to many adventures. This book is written for anybody who is curious about nature and motion. * ‘First move, then teach.’ In modern languages, the mentioned type of moving (the heart) is called motivating both terms go back to the same Latin root.Ĭopyright © Christoph Schiller November 1997–June 2011 The pdf file was and remains free for everybody to read, store and print for personal use, and to distribute electronically, but only in unmodified form and at no charge.
