logical system of units for electricity. Weber wanted to unify electricity
and magnetism into a fundamental force law. He modified the central force
concepts which pervaded physics in Elektrodynamische Massenbestimmungen
(Electrodynamical Measurements), (1846) by presenting a force law which was
dependent on velocity and acceleration. Weber also linked the force
between atoms to the their potential energy.
Weber worked with Gauss in measuring magnetic strength. He conceived of
current as the flow of electrons, and was much more interested in
discovering mathematical formulas than in trying to understand the physics.
He also invented the electrodynamometer, an instrument for measuring small
currents."

Mainz includes a "FOOTNOTE: Wohler was a medical student at Heidelberg
where Gmelin was the Professor of Chemistry. Gmelin persuaded Wohler to
study chemistry and sent him to Berzelius' laboratories to learn the
subject in depth."
- Abbott shows: "Wohler, Friedrich (1800-1882) ... He entered Marburg
University in 1820 to study medicine, and after a year transferred to
Heidelberg, where he studied in the laboratory of Leopold Gmelin
(1788-1853). He gained his medical degree in 1823, but Gmelin had
persuaded Wohler to study chemistry and so he spent the following year in
Stockholm with Jons Berzelius, beginning a life-long association between
the two chemists."

- SciWorld shows: "Wohler, Friedrich (1800-1882) German chemist who was a
student of Berzelius. In attempting to prepare ammonium cyanate from silver
cyanide and ammonium chloride, he accidentally synthesized urea in 1828.
This was the first organic synthesis, and shattered the vitalism theory.
W?hler pursued the matter further and discovered that urea and ammonium
cyanate had the same chemical formula, but very different chemical
properties. This was an early discovery of isomerism, since urea has the
formula CO(NH2)2 and ammonium cyanate has the formula NH4CNO. He also
analyzed the silver salt of cyanic acid and found it to be 77.23% silver
oxide and 22.77% cyanic acid. This was the same composition found by Justus
von Liebig for silver fulminate, resulting in the discovery of another
instance of isomerism.
W?hler collaborated with Justus von Liebig in organic chemistry
investigations, with whom he discovered the benzoyl radical (C7H5O) in the
1830s, providing seeming support for Berzelius's radical theory. Also with
von Liebig, he wrote an article under the pseudonym S. C. H. Windler
("Schwindler" means swindler in German) which made fun of Laurent's
substitution reactions. The article related how chlorine had been made to
substitute for other compounds, producing substances entirely composed of
chlorine atoms, but maintaining their original chemical properties."
