George Henry Livens
George Henry Livens (1886–1950) was a British
electromagnetics, elasticity and thermodynamics.[1]
He graduated from
University College of South Wales in 1922 where he remained for the rest of his career. One of his students was Rosa M. Morris.[3]
Livens's main work was in electrical theory publishing a book "The Theory of Electricity" in 1918. His work included problems concerned with the motion of charged spheres, the connection between optical properties and electron theory, leading to a new form of the electron theory of the rotatory power in solutions and isotropic media; another topic was the electron theory of metallic conduction.[2]
