Eletrodinâmica de Ampère (full title: Análise do significado e da evolução da força de Ampère, juntamente com a tradução comentada de sua principal obra sobre eletrodinâmica) is a 2011 Portuguese-language book by André K. T. Assis and João P. M. C. Chaib, published by Editora da Unicamp. (This entry records the full-title form of the work; it is the same book as Eletrodinamica de Ampere: Analise do Significado e da Evolucao.)
Overview
The book analyses the meaning and historical evolution of Ampère's force law between current elements and provides a complete, commented Portuguese translation of Ampère's principal 1826 memoir, Théorie des phénomènes électro-dynamiques, uniquement déduite de l'expérience. It reconstructs the experimental route by which Ampère arrived at his force and the controversies surrounding it — including its longitudinal component and its action along the line joining the elements. The book received the 2012 Jabuti Prize as the best Brazilian book of the year in Exact Sciences and Technology.
