✦ Synopsis

There seems always to have been an element of mystery connected with the phenomenon [homopolar induction'], and an element of doubt on the part of many physicists as to the power of electromagnetic theory to solve the problem uniquely. ... In the history of the development of the subject there has been a singular freedom from differences of opinion as to the experimental results, but at the same time singular lack of agreement as to the way these results were to be interpreted."

J. T. "late (1) a "It cannot be urged that it has been shown experimentally that moving circuits and changing currents are rigorously equivalent as regards induced electromotive forces ....
