Just expanded and revised (1969) by the United States Navy as a training course text, this book now provides an even more thorough coverage of the basic theory of electricity and its applications. It is unquestionably the best book of its kind for either broad or more limited studies of electrical fundamentals. Chapters cover safety, fundamental concepts of electricity, batteries, series d-c circuits, parallel d-c circuits, network analysis of d-c circuits, electrical conductors and wiring techniques, electromagnetism and magnetic circuits, introduction to alternating-current electricity, inductance, capacitance, inductive and capacitive reactance, fundamental alternating-current motors, direct-current generators, direct-current motors, magnetic amplifiers, and synchros and servomechanisms. The reader is supplied with a complete basic coverage of all important aspects of electricity. This text is filled with dozens of illustrations so that the book becomes almost a multi-media teaching process.
