Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Alternate-Current Working This book is the outcome of a course of lectures originally delivered to a class of evening students. It is so extremely elementary in treatment throughout, and the knowledge - both mathematical and electrical - which it pre-supposes on the part of the reader is so very slight, that it is hoped few will find serious difficulty in reading it. Brief historical notes and references have been appended to each chapter. The reader who intends making a study of the book is strongly recommended to work through all the examples which it contains. To those with a more advanced mathematical knowledge, the book may serve as a simple and easily digested introduction to standard treatises on the subject, such as Flemings "Alternate-Current Transformer" and Jackson's "Alternating Currents and Alternating-Current Machinery."
