William Gilbert, Magnetic Dip Circle, 1600
Numéro d’image : 12651505
| Magnetic dip circle. This is an instrument to determine the angle between the horizon and the Earth's magnetic field at a given point on the surface. At the magnetic poles the dip is /- 90 degrees, the field lines are perpendicular to the ground. De Magnete, Magneticisque Corporibus, et de Magno Magnete Tellure (On the Magnet and Magnetic Bodies, and on That Great Magnet the Earth) is a scientific work published in 1600 by William Gilbert. De Magnete was influential because of the inherent interest of its subject matter, but also for the rigorous way in which Gilbert described his experiments and his rejection of ancient theories of magnetism. William Gilbert (May 24, 1544, November 30, 1603) was an English physician, physicist and natural philosopher. He was the first to argue that the centre of the Earth was iron, and he considered an important and related property of magnets was that they can be cut, each forming a new magnet with north and south poles. | |
