EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the College de Navarre in Paris, 1753, where the renowned French physicist, Abbe Nicolas-Gabriel de Nollet, is performing his second famous experiment on electricity. In this experiment, Nollet demonstrates the electric spark by stroking a glass globe, generating an electric charge. The electricity is then passed from one person to another, showcasing the electric connection between them. Nollet's experiment was a significant milestone in the history of electricity, as it provided evidence that electricity could be transmitted from one person to another without any physical contact between them. This discovery challenged the prevailing beliefs of the time and paved the way for further research in the field. The glass globe in Nollet's experiment was an essential component of the demonstration. When he stroked the globe, it generated an electric charge, which created a spark when it came into contact with a metal conductor. The electricity was then transferred to a volunteer, who held a metal rod connected to the ground. As the electricity flowed from Nollet to the volunteer, a visible spark occurred, leaving everyone in awe of this remarkable scientific phenomenon. This historical photograph is a testament to the curiosity and ingenuity of the human mind. It reminds us of the importance of scientific exploration and discovery, and the profound impact they can have on our understanding of the world around us. Nollet's experiment with electricity may seem simple by today's standards, but it was a groundbreaking achievement in its time and a crucial step towards the development of modern electrical technology.
