What reading level is An Elementary Treatise On Electricity book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was also necessary to see that the products of combustion from the Bunsen burner did not come in contact with the wire after becoming electrified by the hot tube. Fig. 3L The wire was connected with the electrometer, but no evidence of conduction of electricity could be observed, even when the mercury was boiling briskly, and its vapour was being condensed on the I 2 116 CONDUCTIVITY OF GASES. [140. wire. But whenever so much, mercury had collected on the wire that a drop fell off at the end... of the wire, there was a deflection of the electrometer because the drop had become charged by in- duction from the tube and the removal of this charge affected the electrometer. This however was no evidence of conduction through the metallic vapour, but only indicated that the apparatus was in such a state of electrification that any conduction, if it took place, would produce a sensible indication at the electrometer. It is difficult to reconcile these experiments on the insulating power of hot gases and vapours with the well-known phenomena of the communication of electricity along the stream of heated matter rising from a flame or even from red-hot metal.
