"Futhermore, I'm not a PHD in physics, but to the best of my knowlege
Cavendish was best known for his gravity experiments-not electrostatic
measurement. The only connection between the two (as far as I know)
was the experimental method-namely the torsion balance."
For neat descriptions of Cavendish's work and that of other
pioneers I recommend the book "Great Experiments in Physics",\
available in paperback from Amazon (www.amazon-dot-com).
