Easy Read on Electricity

I bought this to help my son learn more about simple circuits and really liked the way this book is written for the non technical person. It is a reference book in your family's library. I find my self going back to it from time to time. With the model railroad we have a lot of DC and AC circuits and it helped us set up some of our accessories and gang together our transformers for multi train control. This is a basic book but very well written and easy to understand.

A superb primer on electricity, excellent for self-study

This book is an excellent primer on the properties of electricity, the words used to describe it, how to work with it and compute the values of the descriptors. Using diagrams, formulas and worked examples, the reader is taken from the basics to the specifics of AC and DC electricity as well as the relationship between electricity and magnetism. A short set of questions is given at the end of each chapter and two major exams are included. Without question, this is the best beginning book on electricity that I have ever seen.

Excellent

It's concise, well ordered, the diagrams were good, and it didn't bore me to read unlike another book on electricity which I am trying hard to read.
