Friedrich Kohlrausch, a German physicist who did pioneering work on how electricity is transmitted in solutions, was born on this day in 1840.
Kohlrausch is best known for a method to measure electrical conductivity using an alternating current, which determined that conductivity is lower in more dilute solutions.
Kohlrausch also showed that there are two molecular players involved in conductivity: the cation, or positively charged ion, and the anion, or negatively charged ion.

After studying physics at Erlangen and Gottingen, Friedrich Kohlrausch completed his doctorate in Gottingen.
After a two-year work as a lecturer at the Univesity of Frankfurt/Main, Kohlrausch was appointed a professor of physics at the Universitiy of Gottingen (1866-70).
In the Universitiy of Gottingen he performed the practical experiments that resulted in the book “Leitfaden der praktischen Physik” (Guidelines to Practical Physics) which was published in 1870 as the first book of this type in Germany.

In 1886-7, Nernst and Arrhenius became close friends as colleagues in Friedrich Kohlrausch’s Würzburg physics institute, and both spent an additional year together in Graz in Ludwig Boltzmann’s institute.
In the theoretical part, Arrhenius explained the results of the first, by introducing the concept of active (conducting) and inactive (non-conducting) molecules, and the activity coefficient, which elaborated on the Clausius-Williamson hypothesis that assumed the molecules were dissociated before the current was applied, and that all ions had the same amount of electricity.
In the first part, she discusses his education and training at Würzburg (under Friedrich Kohlrausch) and Graz (under Ludwig Boltzmann) during the 1880s, where he became involved in the traditional problems in physics and electrochemistry.

The speed of these waves would be equal to the ratio of the value for an electric current measured in electrostatic units to the value of the same current measured in electromagnetic units (see Electrical Units).
German physicists Friedrich Kohlrausch and Wilhelm Weber had calculated this ratio and found it the same as the speed of light.
Maxwell inferred that light consists of waves in the same medium that causes electric and magnetic phenomena.

Friedrich Kohlrausch(1840-1910) found that the molar conductivity varied as the square root of the concentration for many solutions.
Arrhenius attempted to treat the electrolytic-conductance behavior of the strong electrolytes in the way in which he had successfully treated the weak electrolytes; such a treatment is, however, inconsistent with the experimental fact, discovered by Kohlrausch, that a plot of the equivalent

Friedrich Kohlrausch's research course introduced me to the technique of investigation.
After five years I was thoroughly tired of a bachelor's life, and I realized that a certain attachment of the Göttingen period had taken deeper root than I had been ready to admit even to myself.
The personal intercourse among the colleagues of the University was kept up, in spite of long distances, not only by social life but also by the weekly faculty and academic meeting, and I considered it most fortunate that the large College of Arts and Sciences, in spite of its immense administrative burden, remained undivided.

 Stretched exponential function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The stretched exponential function, also widely known as the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) function, is a frequently used empirical description of the relaxation rates of many physical properties of complex systems such as polymers and glasses.
The function was invented by the German physicist Friedrich Kohlrausch in 1863 to characterize the dielectric relaxation rates in polymers.
The stretched exponential was reintroduced by Graham Williams and David C. Watts in 1970 to describe the mechanical creep in glassy fibers.

To this very day, the textbook ”Praktische Physik” (Practical Physics), which originated in Friedrich Kohlrausch’s ”Leitfaden der praktischen Physik” (Guidelines to Practical Physics), is standard reading for physicists and engineers in Germany.
This is attributable, above all, to the detailed descriptions provided of the precision measuring methods that form the basis of technical and experimental applications in a wide diversity of fields in physics.
Some of Kohlrausch’s pioneering achievements include conductivity measurements on electrolytes, his work on the determination of basic magnetic and electrical quantities, and the enhancement of the associated measuring technologies.

He proposed a structure for benzene consisting of a ring of carbon atoms with alternating double and single bonds.
He thought the application of atomism was useful to explain the chemical properties of compounds, but also believed in the actual existence of atoms.
