400 years of exploration

Abstract

The first book of William Gilbert, De Magnete, Magneticisque Corporibus, et de Magno Magnete Tellure (On the Magnet and Magnetic Bodies, and on the Great Magnet the Earth), was published more than 400 years ago in 1600. In this work, Gilbert described experiments on an Earth model to explain the observed magnetic field.
