SynopsisThe Electric Arc is a book written by Hertha Ayrton that explores the scientific phenomenon of electric arcs. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history, theory, and practical applications of electric arcs, which are the luminous discharges that occur when an electric current passes through a gas. Ayrton's work is based on her own extensive research and experiments, as well as the work of other scientists in the field. The book covers topics such as the physics of the arc, its behavior under different conditions, and its use in various industries such as welding, lighting, and metallurgy. Ayrton also discusses the practical challenges of working with electric arcs, such as their tendency to produce harmful byproducts such as ozone and nitrogen oxides. The Electric Arc is a valuable resource for scientists, engineers, and anyone interested in the history and practical applications of electricity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
