By using the electron theory, Lorentz in his above mentioned essay traces the Laws of Electro-dynamics of Ponderable Bodies to still simpler laws. Let us now adhere to these simpler laws, whereby we require that for the limiting case ε = 1, μ = 1, σ = 0, they should constitute...

2. PART II. ELECTRO-MAGNETIC PHENOMENA.

After these preparatory works, which have been first developed on account of the small amount of mathematics involved in the limiting case ε = 1, μ = 1, σ = 0, let us turn to th...
