He published nearly 100 works in the field of theoretical electrotechnology in which he made a generalization of Coulomb's law and specified and expanded the concept of molecular capacity in power cables. A four volume monograph on the fundamentals of electrotechnology and theoretical electrotechnology was the first academic course-book in the field in post-war Poland. He also published a book on the elements of relativity theory and relativistic mechanics and electrodynamics. Author and editor of Kalendarzyk Elektrotechniczny.[1]
Prof. Konorski was a co-founder of the Polish Association of Theoretical and Applied Electrotechnology, member of PAN's Science Council in the Institute of Basic Problems in Technology and a member of Lodz Scientific Association.
