Synopsis

This book delves into the principles and practices of electrical engineering, beginning with the fundamentals ofmagnetism and magnetic units and moving on to a detailed exploration of electric circuits and machinery. The author's clear explanations and comprehensive treatment of the subject provide a solid foundation for understanding the concepts of electromagnetism and their applications in electrical engineering. The book also covers advanced topics such as alternating current circuits, transformers, and electric motors, equipping readers with a comprehensive understanding of the field. Overall, this book is an invaluable resource for students, practicing engineers, and anyone seeking to deepen their knowledge of electrical engineering principles and their practical applications.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following work is based on a lecture and laboratory course given to the senior civil, mechanical, and mining students atM cG ill University. It is therefore suited for men who desire to obtain a broad idea of the principles and practice of electrical engineering and who have only a limited amount of time to spend on the subject. For such men it is necessary to emphasize the fundamental principles, and to develop the subject by elaborating on these principles rather than by the solution of mathematical equations, because only in this way can the student be given such a grip of the subject in the short time available, that he is able thereafter to make intelligent use of the data contained in the electrical handbooks, or take up with advantage a further study of the special treatises on the subject. The book gives a self-contained lecture and laboratory course. The chapters on the control and applications of electrical machinery have been so written that large sections of these chapters may be set for private reading. In the laboratory course, complete references are given to the theory and purpose of each experiment, and these references in no case go beyond the text contained in the body of the work. The author wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness toM r. A. M. S. Boyd and toM r. R. Kraus for their help and criticism. A. G. McG iLL UNIVERSITY, Sept. I, 1914.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Especially am I grateful to those who have pointed out errors and have offered suggestions for the improvement of the work. The principal changes considered necessary at this time are the elimination of the left hand rule for the direction of the force on a conductor in favor of the conception of strained lines of force, a change in the method of presenting the subject of direct current drum windings, a few additions to the chapters on alternating current circuits and the addition of a considerable number of problems without answers.
