Electricity 12e, Online Textbook
Electricity supports introductory or short courses that familiarize students with basic principles and applications for this form of energy. Using easy-to-understand language, this text provides a practical and concise introduction to sources of electricity, circuit types, electric motors, measuring instruments, generators, transformers, inductance, capacitance, solid-state devices, wireless devices, and solder/desoldering. Nine projects are included to provide students with hands-on learning opportunities related to the concepts learned throughout the text.
