First appearence of a major paper in 19th century electrical theory breaking new ground in associating an electric tension with both open and closed galvanic circuits unifying the theory of Galvanic electricity and containing Ohm's Law in the simpler and last form."Ohm's second major paper of 1826 announced the beginnings of a comprehensive theory of galvanic electricity based he said on the fact that the contact of heterogenous bodies produced and maintained a constant electric tension Spannung. He deferred the systematic exposition of thsi theory to a later work however and limited himself to stating without derivation the two eqautions that constituted its heart: X=kwa/l and u-c = /- x/lawhereX is the strenght of the electric current in a conductor of lenght l cross section w and conductibility Leitungsvermögen k produced by a difference in electric tension a at its end points. By means of the first equation one can .reduce the actual lenght of a wire of whatever cross section and conductibility to the equivalent lenght of one of the wire chosen arbitrarily as a standard. Letting l now be this equivalent lenght - called the reduced lenght reducirte Länge of the conductor - Ohm WROTE HIS FIRST LAW IN THE SIMPLER FORM X=a/l THE EXPRESSION WHICH HAS BECOME KNOWN AS OHM'S LAW."DSB X pp. 188-89. unknown
