Ohm biography message
Father was engaged in locksmith, and the mother was the daughter of a tailor. Parents did not have academic education, but this did not prevent his father from engaging in self -education and education of their own children. George had a younger brother Martin, who later became a famous mathematician, and sister Elizabeth Barbara. At the age of 11, Georg enters the Herlangen gymnasium.
But this stage of training did not appeal to the boy, concluding, in his own words, only in the development of mechanical memory and interpretation of texts. The level of education of the OM brothers was so high that Professor Karl Langsdorf compared boys with Bernoulli's family. In OM, he enters the University of Erlagen. Instead of focusing on studying, he devotes all his time to extracurricular activities.
Johann, who noticed that the son has been losing precious years in vain and misses the possibility of a decent education, in the city there, in the town of Gottstadt of the Nidau district, George becomes a school teacher of mathematics. In March, G. Om moves to Nechatnik, where he gives private lessons. He devotes free time to independent study of mathematics.
This continues until April, immediately after this, he enters the lecturer at the University Department of Mathematics. But he will last there for only three months, and then, understanding the absence of any prospect, he will leave the university. Om lived in extreme need, and the scanty salary of the lecturer could not correct his plight. But, being dissatisfied with this position, Georg, in order to at least somehow prove himself, begins to write a textbook on the initial course of geometry.
In September, Otu proposes to take the post of Mathematics and Physicists at the Jesuit gymnasium Kyulna. Such a chance could not be missed, since this gymnasium was not only better than all educational institutions in which he taught earlier, but also had a well -equipped laboratory with him. Throughout his teaching activities, OM did not throw his self -education for a moment, studying the works of scientific French mathematicians: Lagrange, Lyandra, Laplace, Bio and Poisson.
Later Om will get acquainted with the works of Fourier and Frenel. At the same time, having learned about the theoretical substantiation of Ersted, the phenomenon of electromagnetism in G. does this exclusively to raise his own level of knowledge. Om is also aware that if he wants to get a job that is really interesting, he will have to work on research materials.
After all, only relying on something, he could show himself to the world and achieve the desired. Mali’s postage brand, in OM, represents an article to the scientific community in which he establishes that the electromagnetic force in the conductor decreases as the length of this conductor increases. The article is based solely on the evidence obtained by the experimental way during their own experiments.
In the same year, two more articles will appear. In one of them, the scientist gives a mathematical substantiation of conductivity in the circuit of the electric circuit, built on the theory of thermal conductivity of Fourier. The second article will be of extreme importance, since in it OM will give an explanation of the results conducted by other scientists with galvanic current experiments.
She precedes the discovery of what we call the “OMA Law”, published already in the next year. OM publishes its well -known work “Galvanic chains, mathematical justification”, in which it gives a detailed explanation of the theory of electric circuits. The book is also valuable by the fact that, instead of starting directly to the object of study, OM initially gives mathematical confirmation of the theory necessary for further understanding of the subject.
This was a very important point, since even the most outstanding German physicists needed such an idea, because this book was the rare case in those days when the approach to physics was directly physical, and not mathematical. According to the theory of OMA, interaction in the electric circuit arises between "equally charged particles." And finally, this work clearly illustrated the differences between the scientific approach of OMA from the works of Fourier and Navier.
Postal envelope. The Köln Jesuit Gymnasium provides a vacation with a preservation of half the salary to continue its scientific research, but, in September, All the year spent in Berlin, he sincerely believed that his scientific publication would help to get a worthy place at some famous university. However, when this did not happen, he reluctantly returns to his previous place of work.
But the worst in all history was that, despite the importance of his work, the scientific world accepted it more than cool. Offended, Om decides to move to Berlin. And in March G. But even having received the cherished position, Om remains unhappy. The stubborn and heavy works of the scientist were finally rewarded in Om expressed the idea of the complex composition of sounds.He established that the ear perceives as a simple tone only the sound that is caused by elementary sinusoidal vibration, yet other sounds are perceived as the main tone and additional - the overtones of the acoustic law of OMA, OM becomes a full member of the Bavarian Academy.
Four years later, he holds the position of curator of the Museum of Physics at the Bavarian Academy in Munich and gives lectures at the University of Munich. Only in the city of OM will receive a position to which he strove all his life: he is appointed head of the Department of Physics of Munich University. His name is bearing the unit of resistance measurement in the international system of units and crater on the back of the moon.
A senior official believed that making mathematics in classical physics is an unacceptable heresy. He ordered all inspectors to follow the purity of natural philosophy and consider in it the main speculative approach to nature phenomena. Useful links 1. Georg Simon Om - documentary.
