Excerpt from Electricity Magnetism for Beginners The following lessons in Electricity are intended to form a first course for boys who have already learnt the elements of mensuration, statics, dynamics, and heat. As the object of the book is to introduce the student to the principal laws of the subject, and to give him a working knowledge of the quantities involved, I have thought it well, at this stage, to introduce only direct experiments. It will be advisable to omit the last three sections of the chapter on magnetism until the second and third chapters have been studied. The apparatus required for the experiments is described in the text, or is made clear by the diagrams. This apparatus is of the simplest character, and can be provided at a very small cost for classes of as many as thirty to work the same experiment at the same time.

Electricity is all around us: cars, telephones, computers, lights -- the modern world runs entirely on electrons. But what are electrons? How do they behave? How do we control them? This book will show you how to build a battery, detect static electricity and construct a basic current meter, all using common items from your kitchen. Along the way you'll learn about the meaning of "voltage" and "current", what makes an LED work and the difference between AC and DC. The last chapter uses transistors -- the basic building blocks of every computer -- for lots of interesting experiments. With plenty of colorful illustrations, historical stories and an easy, accessible style, "A Kitchen Course in Electricity and Magnetism" will be a great start for budding and amateur scientists who want to learn more about how the world works.

Excerpt from Elementary Lessons in Electricity and Magnetism These Lessons in Electricity and Magnetism are in tended to afford to beginners a clear and accurate knowledge of the experiments upon which the Sciences of Electricity and Magnetism are based, and of the exact laws which have been thereby discovered. The difficulties which beginners find in studying many modern text-books arise partly from the very wide range of the subject, and partly from want of famili arity with the simple fundamental experiments. We have, at the outset, three distinct sets of phenomena to observe, viz. - those of Frictional Electricity, of Current Electricity, and of Magnetism; and yet it is impossible to study any one of these rightly without knowing something of them all. Accordingly, the first three Chapters of this work are devoted to a simple exposition of the prominent experimental facts of these three branches of the subject, reserving until the later Chapters the points of connection between them, and such parts of electrical theory as are admissible in a strictly elementary work. N o knowledge of algebra beyond simple equations, or of geometry beyond the first book of Euclid, is assumed.
