| Experimental Physicist par excellence |
| |
Today, Friedrich Kohlrausch is classed as one of the most important experimental physicists. His early work helped to extend the absolute system of Carl Friedrich Gauss and Wilhelm Weber to include electrical and magnetic measuring units.
 | | He improved precision measuring instruments and developed numerous measuring methods in almost all of the fields of physics known during his lifetime; including, a reflectivity meter, a tangent galvanometer, and various types of magnetometers and dynamometers. His research work covered not only investigations into elasticity, thermoelasticity, and thermal conduction, but also magnetic and electrical precision measurements. |
