by James Barlow (Author)

""A New Theory, Accounting For The Dip Of The Magnetic Needle"" is a book written by James Barlow in 1835. The book is an analysis of terrestrial magnetism and provides a solution for the lines of variation and no variation. The author proposes a new theory to account for the dip of the magnetic needle, which was a phenomenon that had puzzled scientists for centuries. Barlow's theory is based on the idea that the Earth's magnetic field is caused by a rotating fluid core, and that the dip of the needle is caused by the interaction between this fluid and the Earth's crust. The book is a significant contribution to the field of geomagnetism and helped to advance our understanding of the Earth's magnetic field. It is a valuable resource for scientists, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of science.And An Explanation Of The Nature Of A Magnet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
