To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
According to the relation between the two coefficients Ko and /lo deduced by Maxwell from the comparison of the two systems of C. G. S. units, the electrostatic and electromagnetic, namely, _ 1 s/KoHo where V represents the velocity of light, the exr pression (8) becomes (9) Too = Y2 The initial electromagnetic mass of an electron at rest is equal to its total potential energy divided by the square of the velocity of light. As the potential energy represents the only energy that an electron at ...rest can have, it is seen immediately that, the velocity of light being taken as unity, the mass of an electron at rest is equal to its total energy, of which it may serve as a measure. This result may be generalized. If the elec- tronic theory of matter were confirmed, it would be applicable to aU material systems at rest, since they could be reduced to assemblages of electrons without material support. However it may be con- cerning this last point and postponing the question of the structure of the positive centers, whether material or not, Lorentz has shown that the rela- MATERIALIZATION OF ENERGY 75 tivity principle requires: (1) the longitudinal con- traction of all bodies in the direction of their translation in the ratio -v/l — |8^; (2) that the change OTo of mass with the velocity, m = , ^ „ , established vi — p first of all for electromagnetic inertia, applies in general to all bodies, as if their mass, like the forces of elasticity and cohesion, were purely of electro- magnetic origin.
