"Experimental Researches in Electricity, Volume 1" by Michael Faraday is a scientific publication written in the early to mid-19th century. This comprehensive work compiles a series of experimental studies detailing the principles and phenomena related to electricity, particularly focusing on the induction of electric currents and their relationship with magnetism. At the start of the volume, Faraday provides a preface explaining the motivation behind collating his research papers from the "Philosophical Transactions" over several years, noting the original discoveries and corrections in the field of electricity. He outlines the experimental methods utilized in his studies, such as the construction of helices and the effects of electric currents on the galvanometer. The opening portion reveals Faraday's meticulous approach to conducting these experiments, as he discusses observations about the induction of electric currents and the unexpected results that challenge existing theories, while setting the stage for further exploration of the nature of electricity and magnetism in subsequent sections of the book.
