The Elements of Electrical Engineering: A First Year's Course for Students (Classic Reprint)

The present volume being based upon courses of lectures given by me during the last few sessions to classes of students desirous of qualifying as electrical engineers, and my aim having been to treat the subject as far as possible on easy and non-mathematical lines, I am hopeful that the work will prove acceptable to the numerous students who are to be found attending evening and other courses of instruction atP olytechnics and Technical Schools. To those who propose taking up the serious study of Electrical Engineering, and intend obtaining more than a surface knowledge of the subject, I would strongly advise that a concurrent course be taken in the science of Electricity and Magnetism, which underlies all practical applications toE lectrical Engineering; and to those whose time for study is strictly limited, this science course may be found sufficient for the first year. I have avoided a mathematical treatment as far as possible, and the numerical problems have not been worked out to a greater degree of accuracy than is required for practical work. In no case is an example given requiring more mathematics than is taught in the first stage of that subject.
