英语词汇weber的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

weber; Weberian apparatus; Weber’s law. The weber is the practical unit of magnetic flux, named after German physicist Wilhelm Eduard Weber (1804–91). While a professor at the University of Göttingen, Weber worked with Karl Gauss on terrestrial magnetism, devised an electromagnetic telegraph, and did valuable research on electrical measurements—the coulomb, in fact, being once known as the weber. A politically committed teacher, he was dismissed from the university for protesting the king’s suspension of the constitution. Weber’s two brothers were also noted scientists. Wilhelm Eduard col- laborated with his younger brother Eduard in 1833 on a study of human locomotion. With his elder brother Ernst he wrote a well-known book on wave motion published in 1825. This same Ernst Heinrich Weber (1795–1878), a physiologist and early psychophysical investigator, is the author of Weber’s law, a mathematical formulation showing that the increase in stimu- lus necessary in producing an increased sensation depends on the strength of the preceding stimulus. The Weberian appara- tus, small bones connecting the inner ear with the air bladder in certain fishes, honors Ernst too.
