Basic Electricity 6 reviews
Bureau of Naval Personnel
Dover Publications, 1970
Great for the beginner or experienced
I have been an Avionics Tech. for 30 years and bought this book for my son-in-law. I have had a copy and used it for years to brush up on sometimes forgoten electrical principals. This book is so good that the aircraft technical schools issue it to aviation mechanics for the AC and DC basics. If you want to understand electricity, motors, generators, AC/DC theory...This book is for you!!!!!

Today's Technician: Automotive Electricity and Electronics (Classroom and shop manual set) 4 reviews

Delmar Cengage Learning, 2006
will get you by..
I purchased this book because it was required for my automotive electronics class.. Although it's a two volume set, a lot of the same information can be found on both books. Never the less, it's a nice book to learn from and use as a reference when trouble shooting electrical circuits.
One huge issue though is because it's written with a students perspective in mind the quizzes/questions at ...

Understanding Today's Electricity Business
I work for a utility billing and CIS provider and needed a reference book to enhance my knowledge of our focus industry. This book was great, it covers all relevent topics in good depth from generation to how utilities make money under different business and regulatory models. It is surprisingly easy to read given the dryness of the topic. I highly recommend it.

Electricity for Refrigeration, Heating, And Air Conditioning4 reviews

Delmar Thomson Learning, 2006
A fantastic refererence for your HVAC/R library
I love the way the author set this book up. You gradually build on what you learn and never really feel that you are being thrown in to hard. The writing is fantastic. Not to difficult in technological terms for the novice and yet levels with the seasoned veteran just right. When you complete a chapter , you are introduced to a " In the field scenario" service call. You imagine yourself at the ...

A student who really needed a book of this type
Thanks very much for giving such a clear vision of how circuits work. I was really lost in my electronic's class. Your explanations of how voltage, resistance, and current interplay was a big help to me.

A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism: Volume 1 (Oxford Classic Texts in the Physical Sciences , No 1)7 reviews
James Clerk Maxwell
Oxford University Press, USA, 1998
A classic that still is worth reading
Whenever I teach a course which touches on electric or magnetic phenomena I find myself going through this book. It works well with the early chapters of Jackson, in particular, and Smythe. Maxwell knew the subject thoroughly, up to the 1870s (and much of this material has since dropped out of courses and almost out of memory), his thinking was both profound and clear, and he may well be the ...

Basic Electricity: Revised Edition, Complete Course16 reviews
Van Valkenburgh, Nooger, ...
Prompt (DPI - 8/01), 1995
Recommended
I also own the Bureau of Naval Personnel's "Basic Electricity" and Mike Holt's "Basic Electrical Theory". While I really like Holt's book, and the Bureau's book is a good one, this is one better. Since it was first published in 1954, you may find the illustrations and graphics (did they have "graphics" in 1954?) a bit dated. On the other hand, I think they help explain the concepts very well.

1. The Nature of Electricity
2. Electrical Standards and Conventions

Electricity One - Seven (3rd Edition)4 reviews
Harry Mileaf
Prentice Hall, 1998
My all time favorite basic electricity book.
I'm a power plant operator. I've had to take basic electricity courses for job promotions, (after taking a written test). This is the only book written (that my co-workers and I have had to study) that you can learn from on your own. The other books seemed to be written for a classroom setting, with an instructor.

What I've been looking for
In an attempt to begin a new hobby I've been buying books on this subject. Most have left me guessing. This book gives you hands on plus the theory and equations to understand why it works the way it does. Though I have not finished (I am building the project)I understand more about electronics than after completing several projects from other books I've read.
If you want to know why, and how, ...

He then uses concepts of line integral, potential and gradient and goes on to show how the conservative nature of the ...

Good Basic text, easy to follow.
I am an Electronics Instructor at the Community College level. I have used this book for a number of years as the text in my introduction course.

I reccommend it as a beginning text for those with an ...

In 1945 I attended a public technical school in Toronto,Ontario,Canada. The earlier additions of this book were the basis of our four year course at that school. The book is a self teacher and can really teach and inprove the knowledge of anyone involved in the industrial electrical world. I became a chief electrical engineer for a major company through the school of hard knocks.This book ...
