Abstract
THIS is an interesting and somewhat unusual type of introductory text-book to the study of electrical engineering. Its express purpose is to introduce the engineering approach to the study of electricity and magnetism to students already possessing an elementary knowledge of the mathematical and physical principles, and the scope of the book has been determined quite rigorously by this consideration. With one or two minor exceptions, only D.C. phenomena are treated ; but the student is presumed to be aware of some of the general features of alternating current systems.
