Christian August Hausen (born June 19 , 1693 in Dresden , Germany ; died 1743 in Leipzig , Germany ) was a German Mathematician who is known for his research on electricity. Hausen studied mathematics at the University Of Wittenberg and received his master's degree in 1712 . He became an extraordinary professor of mathematics at the University Of Leipzig at the age of 21 and later ( 1726 ) became an ordinary professor.pp. 94–95, Biographies of contributors to the early investigation of electrical phenomena , Reimund Gerhard-Multhaupt, ''IEEE Transactions on Electrical Insulation'' 26 (February 1991), #1, pp. 85–130. Hausen also researched . It consisted of a glass globe rotated by a cord and a large wheel. An assistant rubbed the globe with his hand to produce Static Electricity . Hausen's book describes his generator and sets forth a theory of electricity in which electrification is a consequence of the production of Vortices in a universal electrical fluid.pp. 270–272, ''Electricity in the 17th and 18th centuries: a study of early modern physics'', J. L. Heilbron, Berkeley: University of California Press, 1979. ISBN 0-520-03478-3. REFERENCES |
