Synopsis
This book offers a multifaceted view into the nature and operation of electrical engineering. The author introduces the subject by presenting the prevailing theories on electricity that underpinned the development of electrical engineering as a discipline. Their inadequacy is explored as the book progresses, focusing on their failure to account for new discoveries in electro-chemistry and molecular physics. This confrontation between theory and new knowledge unfolds through chapters on the voltaic cell, electric current, resistance, work, energy, and power. In the latter half, the author examines a few of the many practical applications of electricity: lighting, electric traction, domestic wiring, and telegraphy and telephony. By demystifying the science and presenting intricate concepts in clear and accessible language, this book will appeal to anyone curious about the role of electricity in modern life and the processes underlying electrical technologies.
