Excerpt from Alternating and Interrupted Electric Currents: Being Based Upon Three Lectures Delivered to the Members of the Royal Institution
The present book is the outcome of a course of three lectures delivered before the Royal Institution of Great Britain in 1895. The verbatim report of these has been revised and corrected, and forms the substance of the book. The lectures were primarily intended for an intelligent audience, but one not well versed in electrical science; hence, technicalities have, in general, been avoided, and the colloquial form of expression has been retained in the book. The attention of telegraphists may, however, be drawn to the mechanical torsion model of a sub marine cable - described in the first and second lectures - as illustrating in a novel and remarkably accurate manner the various phenomena observed in working with an actual cable. It is believed, too, that many of the other mechanical analogies described, which formed a chief feature of the course, will be found of interest to others besides.
My special thanks are due to Mr. H. E. Mitchell for his assistance in preparing these lectures for the press.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the dynamic relationship between alternating and interrupted electric currents. Exploring their behavior through mechanical analogies, the author draws on the work of Faraday and other pioneers in electromagnetism, examining the effects of self-induction, inertia, capacity, and resistance on current flow. The text sheds light on phenomena like induction coils and transformers, highlighting their significance in understanding electric power distribution and engineering. With its innovative approach and accessible language, this book provides valuable insights into the fundamental principles of electrical circuits for students, researchers, and practitioners. Its exploration of electrical phenomena contributes to the broader understanding of electromagnetic theory and its applications in the field.
