Henry Cavendish (1731-1810), the grandson of the second duke of Devonshire, wrote papers on electrical topics for the Royal Society, but the majority of his electrical experiments did not become known until they were collected and published by James Clerk Maxwell a century later, in 1879, long after other scientists had been credited with the same results. Among Cavendish's discoveries were the concept of electric potential, which he called the 'degree of electrification'; an early unit of capacitance, that of a sphere one inch in diameter; the formula for the capacitance of a plate capacitor; the concept of the dielectric constant of a material; the relationship between electric potential and current, now called Ohm's Law; laws for the division of current in parallel circuits, now attributed to Charles Wheatstone; and the inverse square law of variation of electric force with distance, now called Coulomb's Law.

Five of Maxwell's PapersJames Clerk MaxwellJames Clerk Maxwell FRS FRSE (13 June 1831 - 5 November 1879) was a Scottish scientist in the field of mathematical physics. His most notable achievement was to formulate the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, bringing together for the first time electricity, magnetism, and light as manifestations of the same phenomenon. Maxwell's equations for electromagnetism have been called the "second great unification in physics" after the first one realised by Isaac Newton. With the publication of A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field in 1865, Maxwell demonstrated that electric and magnetic fields travel through space as waves moving at the speed of light. Maxwell proposed that light is an undulation in the same medium that is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena. The unification of light and electrical phenomena led to the prediction of the existence of radio waves. Maxwell helped develop the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, a statistical means of describing aspects of the kinetic theory of gases. He is also known for presenting the first durable colour photograph in 1861 and for his foundational work on analysing the rigidity of rod-and-joint frameworks (trusses) like those in many bridges.

Maxwell's parents met and married when they were well into their thirties; 16] his mother was nearly 40 when he was born.

""A Treatise On Electricity And Magnetism V1"" is a seminal work on the subject of electricity and magnetism, authored by the renowned physicist James Clerk Maxwell. Originally published in 1881, this book is a comprehensive treatise on the fundamental principles of electromagnetism, and it remains a classic reference work for students and researchers in the field. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume covering electrostatics, electric currents, and magnetism. Maxwell begins by introducing the basic concepts of electric charge and the electric field, before moving on to discuss the behavior of electric currents in conductors and the properties of magnetic fields. He then presents his famous equations of electromagnetism, which describe the interplay between electric and magnetic fields and the propagation of electromagnetic waves. Throughout the book, Maxwell employs a rigorous mathematical approach, using calculus and vector analysis to derive his results. However, he also provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the underlying physical principles. In addition, he includes historical notes and references to the work of other scientists, giving readers a sense of the evolution of the field over time. Overall, ""A Treatise On Electricity And Magnetism V1"" is a landmark work in the history of physics, laying the foundations for much of the modern understanding of electromagnetism. Its clear and systematic presentation of the subject matter, combined with its historical context and mathematical rigor, make it an essential resource for anyone interested in the study of electricity and magnetism.
