Electrodynamics and Electromagnetism
In the 19th century, to the numerous devices used to perform spectacular experiments in electrostatics, were added portable kits of instruments to illustrate the phenomena of electrodynamics and electromagnetism discovered after the invention of the electric battery (1800).
