Abstract
PART III. MAGNETISM—(continued) VIII. IT will now be perceived that a fly-wheel in rotation is the mechanical analogue of magnetism, or more definitely of a section of a line (or tube) of magnetic force; and that a brake applied to suchafly-wheel, with consequent slip, dissipation of energy, and production of heat, is in some sort a mechanical analogue of an electric current.
