About This Book

A step-by-step question-and-answer guide introduces the fundamentals of electricity and its practical applications for engineers, electricians, and students. It moves from static phenomena to current flow, resistance, conductors and insulators, energy units, and the thermal, magnetic, and chemical effects of electric currents. Coverage includes electrochemical cells and battery care, magnetism and electromagnetic induction, induction coils, and the principles, construction, and commutation of dynamos. Concise main answers are supplemented by explanatory paragraphs and numerous illustrations, with small-print descriptive notes beneath figures to show commercial apparatus, wiring, and practical construction and troubleshooting guidance.
