Synopsis
This book delves into the fascinating world of electricity, offering a comprehensive exploration of its fundamental principles and practical applications. The author masterfully guides readers through a detailed examination of the physical properties of electricity, outlining the three primary methods used for its measurement: electromagnetic forces, electric forces, and the heat generated by electrical currents. The book then dives into specific instruments used to measure electricity, from the workings of a Siemens dynamometer and Kelvin balance to the intricacies of alternating current bridges. It examines various instruments used to measure voltage, current, and power, including both those utilizing iron and those relying on electrostatic principles. The text thoroughly explores the nuances of power measurement in both single-phase and three-phase alternating current circuits, providing clear explanations of essential concepts like phase relationships and the two-wattmeter method. Furthermore, it delves into the crucial topic of energy measurement, detailing different types of watt-hour meters, including the induction watt-hour meter, and their application in electrical systems. This book stands as a testament to the enduring power of fundamental scientific knowledge and serves as an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand the intricacies of electrical measurements and their significance in shaping our technological landscape.
