Excerpt from The Alternating-Current Circuit: An Introductory and Non-Mathematical Book for Engineers and Students
The matter is, of course, a very important one to electrical students; and it also abounds in difficulties, many of which arise from the fact that authorities are by no means agreed as to the explanation of the various phenomena here dealt with.
In a work written from a practical or engineering standpoint, such as this is, it is almost absolutely necessary to look upon electricity as a something which flows along the conductor, as both explanation and comprehension are rendered much easier thereby. The student of advanced theories will consequently find little to interest him herein, except in a technical sense.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an accessible introduction to the confusing but vital realm of alternating current (AC) and its intricacies. Particularly beneficial to those new to the subject, the author employs plainly worded language, avoiding complex mathematics to clarify phenomena surrounding the AC electric circuit. The text adeptly guides readers through various topics. Beginning with the rudiments of electricity, the author gradually introduces concepts like alternating current, inductance, and capacity. The author provides practical, down-to-earth examples to make these abstract ideas relatable. The book also explores the behavior of current in direct current circuits and delves into the contrasting effects of inductance and capacity in both AC and DC circuits. This book not only provides a strong foundational understanding but also serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to enhance their knowledge of AC circuits. The author's lucid explanations and practical examples make this book a valuable addition to the bookshelf of students, hobbyists, and practicing electricians alike.
