“歐姆是藝術� �地方：英國電� ��工程師和電氣 標準的發展”.pdf

British telegraph engineers played a crucial role in the development of electrical standards, particularly the ohm, in the mid-19th century. The practical concerns of telegraph engineers, such as Latimer Clark and Fleeming Jenkin, drove the demand for accurate and reliable resistance standards. They worked alongside scientists like William Thomson and James Clerk Maxwell to establish standards for electrical measurement. The development of the ohm was closely tied to the needs of the submarine telegraph industry, and the expertise of telegraph engineers was embodied in the resistance boxes they calibrated and distributed. The work of these engineers helped reduce the art of electrical measurement to a set of standard practices, which became the ordinary working tools of both physicists and electrical engineers in the late 19th century.
