Wilhelm Eduard Weber |
 | | Wilhelm Eduard Weber (October 24, 1804 - June 23, 1891) was a noted physicist. |
 | | Weber thought that, in order to thoroughly understand physics and apply it to daily life, mere lectures, though illustrated by experiments, were insufficient, and he encouraged his students to experiment themselves, free of charge, in the college laboratory. |
 | | Displaced by the Hanoverian Government for his liberal opinions in politics Weber travelled for a time, visiting England, among other countries, and became professor of physics in Leipzig from 1843 to 1849, when he was reinstalled at Göttingen. |
