From the introductory chapter: THE TURNING-ON OF AN ELECTRIC LAMP IN THE HOUSE. Everyone knows that when a spigot connected with one of the water faucets in a house is turned, as, for example, the spigot, at the wash-stand, the water runs out of the pipe, at the faucet, and will continue running out as long as the spigot is left open. When the spigot is opened, we say that the water is turned on; when it is closed, we say that the water is turned off. The water flows out of the pipe, as soon as an opening is made by ...

From the introductory chapter: THE TURNING-ON OF AN ELECTRIC LAMP IN THE HOUSE. Everyone knows that when a spigot connected with one of the water faucets in a house is turned, as, for example, the spigot, at the wash-stand, the water runs out of the pipe, at the faucet, and will continue running out as long as the spigot is left open.

The lamp glows, or throws out light, because electricity flows from the wires through the slender carbon thread or filament. When the key is turned along the lamp, so as to permit the electricity to flow, we say that the electricity is turned on; when the key is turned across the lamp, so as to prevent the electricity from flowing, we say that the electricity is turned off....
