Lietuviškų fizikos vadovėlių elektros ir magnetizmo terminai
Terms of electricity and magnetism in Lithuanian texbooks of physics

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with terminology of electricity and magnetism in textbooks of physics of K. Šakenis, V. Čepinskis and P. Brazdžiūnas. Terms of electricity and magnetism in these textbooks could be divided into a number of groups. The largest group comprises similar terms, used by all three authors to name the same concept and which are in use today. The usage of synonymic terms and variants of terms of electricity and magnetism showed that frequently the authors of these textbooks named the new concept in synonymic terms or variants for the first time and subsequently chose and used only one of them. Terms distinctively used by the authors of these textbooks (by K. Šakenis and V. Čepinskis in particular), which named newly appearing concepts of electricity and magnetism at that time, need a separate analysis of meaning and structure.
