10. Limits of the Theory of Special Relativity
Next chapter
In the 19th century, electrical and magnetic effects were intensively researched. As al-ready described in chapter 1.4,
the invention of the first functional battery by Alessandro Volta made experimental investigations possible. The
chapter also summarizes further details on the key developments and the many people involved.
The most important result is that all electromagnetic processes can be summarized in the representation of Maxwell's
equations. These are listed in chapter 10.1, followed by a formal comparison with the conditions concerning gravity.
To understand these rela-tionships, a basic knowledge of vector calculus is required, the most important elements of
which are summarized briefly in Appendix E.
