Excerpt from College Physics, Vol. 2: Electricity and MagnetismIn order to explain attraction as well as repulsion, it was necessary to assume the existence of two different kinds of magnetism of opposite nature, positive and negative. Magnet ism was also assumed to be an imponderable substance, since the magnetization of a piece of iron or steel did not change its weight. We shall see later that this theory is unsatisfactory, and that the phenomena in question may be explained much better by the assumption that the medium between the poles is the real seat of magnetic action.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
