Electricity 1
DC and basic 1-phase AC
A translation of the Swedish version entitled Ellära grunder.
The 24 sections in this book take the reader through DC and basic 1-phase AC theory. Each section includes explanatory texts, step-by-step-explained calculations, and a balanced number of test-yourself exercises.
Formulas and maths are explained thoroughly to make also unaccustomed mathematicians comfortable.
The overall aim is that the readers shall achieve active electricity thinking.
Revma.se has several textbooks for different learning methods in electricity and electronics, with shorter or more comprehensive explanatory texts, always step-by-step-explained calculations, and a balanced number of test-yourself exercises.
