Description

Weber's force law derived: §§846-851 (DjVu pp. 458ff.)[Ampère's force law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amp%C3%A8re%27s_force_law "Ampère's force law") derived in vol. 2, part 4, ch. 2 (§§502-527), discussed in ch. 23 (§§845-866), and praised in §528 (DjVu p. 194):> The experimental investigation by which Ampère established the laws of the mechanical action between electric currents is one of the most brilliant achievements in science. The whole, theory and experiment, seems as if it had leaped, full grown and full armed, from the brain of the ‘Newton of electricity.’ It is perfect in form, and unassailable in accuracy, and it is summed up in a formula from which all the phenomena may be deduced, and which must always remain the cardinal formula of electro-dynamics.
