A Text-Book of Electrical Machinery, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

The student of electrical engineering comes to the technical and professional part of his course well grounded in the principles of elementary and applied mathematics and in the relations and characteristics of physical phenomena. His next task is to learn to apply this training to the working principles of engineering, both those underlying the design and operation of electrical machinery and those upon which general engineering methods are based. With these facts in mind it has been found desirable to produce a text for the purpose of communicating to the student the working principles mentioned above and to prepare him for reading profitably the literature of his profession. The book has been designed as a distinctively engineering text, not as a work on physics or applied mathematics. At the same time it has been found desirable to restate in engineering terms the elementary laws and principles of those sciences which bear directly upon the subject in hand. As a result of experience in teaching electrical engineering it has been found most satisfactory, both in maintaining the interest of the student and in economizing his time and energy, to found the treatment upon the laws of the alternating-current circuit, from which the treatment of continuous-current phenomena follows naturally. The application of these laws is illustrated by means of a few problems.
