Excerpt from Applied Electricity: A Text-Book of Electrical Engineering, for Second Year Students
This book is intended as a Text-book of Electrical Engineering for second year students. I define these as students who have already become acquainted with the elementary fundamental principles and laws of Magnetism and Electricity, and who have also a knowledge of the elements of Mechanics, Heat, and Mathematics. It may seem that I am assuming too much for the average student in a Technical Institute, but if he is to gain any really useful knowledge of this subject such preliminary training is absolutely essential. My experience teaches me that students are quite prepared to devote their first year to this preliminary work when the necessity for and the subsequent advantage of it are pointed out.
This volume is intended to be a direct "follow-on" to this first year work.
In it I have endeavoured to describe the fundamental principles of applied magnetism and electricity, and have been careful to show how the practical applications are related to the phenomena of "pure" science. In fact, I have tried to treat the subject with absolute continuity, so that there shall be no line of demarcation dividing the region of pure from that of applied electricity. But, of course, I have only dealt with those sections of pure science which are connected with modern electrical practice.
Wherever it has been possible I have described laboratory experiments in some detail, so that the book will be useful not only as a supplement to a course of lectures but also in the laboratory, where the student may perform the experiments and make determinations himself.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a foundational text that aims to extend students' understanding of electromagnetic phenomena from elementary principles into applied engineering concepts. It is written with the assumption that the reader already has a basic understanding of the fundamental principles of magnetism and electricity, along with introductory mechanics, heat, and mathematics. The author's goal is to create a direct and continuous intellectual bridge between introductory electrical principles and specialized knowledge in electrical engineering disciplines. To achieve this, the book focuses on elucidating the fundamental principles of applied magnetism and electricity, and demonstrating how practical applications are related to scientific phenomena. By including laboratory experiments with detailed descriptions, the book is also useful as a supplement to lectures and a guide for students in laboratory settings. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330009048_0
