Description
Appropriate for very low level DC/AC courses and some survey courses which cover DC/AC and motors.
Logically organized to fit the learning process, this text combines a series of volumes designed specifically to teach electricity. From producing electricity to electromagnetism, from power sources to dynamotors, each volume offers complete coverage of a given area of knowledge, with topics progressing in carefully constructed, incremental steps designed to fully prepare students for the volume ahead.
