From the Publisher

Learn the basics from this easy to understand book!
Basic Electricity, by Van Valkenburgh, Nooger & Neville, Inc., has
taught three generations the fundamentals of electricity and
electronics technology. PROMPT Publications is proud to continue
this tradition with the release of the revised and completely updated
course edition of Basic Electricity. Originally published in five separate
volumes, now with this edition you get all five volumes in one book.

From a simplified explanation of the electronics to AC/DC machinery,
alternators, and other advanced topics, Basic Electricity is the complete
course for mastering the fundamentals of electricity.

This book provides a clear understanding of how electricity is
produced, measured, controlled, and used. A minimum of mathematics
is used for the direct explanations of primary cells, magnetism, Ohm’s
law, capacitance, transformers, DC generators, AC motors, and other essential
topics.

Volume 1: Section information includes what electricity is,
conductors/insulators/semiconductors, electric charges, magnetism, current
flow, EMF, how electricity is produced and used, electromagnetism, how a
meter works, how current is measured, how voltage is measured, resistance,
and an introduction Ohm's law.

Volume 2: Section information includes electric circuits, Ohm's law, resistance,
DC series circuits, DC parallel circuits, DC series-parallel circuits,
electric power, Thevenin's and Norton's theorems, troubleshooting DC
circuits, and an introduction to alternating current.

Volume 3: Section information includes DC and AC electric
circuits, what alternating current is, AC meters, resistance in AC
circuits, inductance in DC and AC circuits, capacitance in DC and
AC circuits, and troubleshooting simple AC circuits.

Volume 4: Section information includes AC electric circuits, AC series
circuits, AC parallel circuits, AC complex circuits, transformers,
