Excerpt from The Alternating-Current Circuit: An Introductory and Non-Mathematical Book for Engineers and Students
This little book is an attempt to convey some idea of the phenomena of the ordinary or single-phase alternating-current circuit to the minds of those new to the subject, by means of plainly worded and non-mathematical language.
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.
