TitleLetter from Geo Fras [George Francis] Fitzgerald, 7 Ely Place, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorFitzGerald; George Francis (1851-1901); Irish theoretical physicist
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date17 April 1894
DescriptionFitzgerald should have sent the manuscript before now and apologises. He has sent Larmor's query to [Henry] Rowland. Fitzgerald outlines an experiment which he did not think worth trying originally, to determine whether magnetic effects were due to moving electrified matter or to moving electrical charges. He has written to [Oliver] Heaviside to ask him why he says that Larmor's interpretation, which gives the right distribution of energy, won't give the mechanical forces required. Fitzgerald thinks this must be possible.
