Ampère's papers: pp. 381-404 tome 29 Suite pp. 29-41 tome 30 "Lettre à Gerhardi": pp. 373-381 tome 29. Some scattered brownspots. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this famous memoir in which Ampère presented his collected results on electrodynamics to the French Academy creating the foundation of 19th century developments in electricity and magnetism. In the words of James Clark Maxwell "We can scarcely believe that Ampère really discovered the law of action by means of the experiments which he describes. We are led to suspect what indeed he tells us himself that he discovered the law by some process which he has not shown us and that when he had afterwards built up a pefect demonstration he removed all traces of the scaffolding by which he raised it."The offered memoir was published BEFORE the famous "Theorie mathématique des phénomènes électro-dynamiques uniquement déduite de L'expérience" which did not appear until 1827. That 1827-Memoire incorporates together with a new presentation of Ampère's results from 1820 1822 1823 the offered memoir 1825. Horblit: 100 - Dibner: 62."From 1814 until 1820 Ampére did not perform the kind of research that would have made it into the annals of the histrory of science but on September 11 1820 when he heard Francois Arago speak about Oersted's work he got fresh inspiration and started the work that made him famous. Arago related how Oersted had found that a steady electric current influences the orientation of a compass needle. After a weak Ampère had determined experimentally that that two straight parallel and current-carrying wires execute a force on each other. The magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the distance between the wires and proportional to the strenghts of the current. During the following years he continued his researches both experimentally and theoretically. he built an instrument for measuring electricity that later was developed into the galvanometer. Finally in 1825 he presented his collected results to the Academy IN ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED MEMOIRS IN THE HISTORY OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY The paper offered."
