Présentation de l'éditeur
This book is a new edition of Jackson and Jackson sE lementary Electricity and Magnetism, which was first published in 1902. To meet present educational needs and to bring the subject matter up to date it has been rewritten and enlarged. Thus, much of the material on static electricity has been omitted, and the discussion of alternating currents and their applications has been greatly extended. The elementary style of the first edition has been retained, frequent use has been made of analogies, and the applications of principles have been shown at the points where the latter are discussed. We have had in mind two types of readers :first, the student who has had one years work in physics and who wants a course in Applied Electricity; and second, the general reader who is interested in or handles electrical machinery and who wants to know how and why it works. To-day there are great numbers of people who are in electrical businesses or are interested financially in electrical power plants and who need to have access to descriptive statements of the uses of various electrical machines. It is hoped that this book will in a measure bridge the gap between the electrical engineer and the general reading public. To meet these various needs great effort has been made to state the fundamental principles so clearly that the reader will really know what the principle or law means in a practical sense. For this reason there are many illustrative examples worked out in the text and numerous groups of problems, not too difficult, based on electrical industries.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
