Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alternating-Current Electricity and Its Applications to Industry First Course This book is planned to meet the need for an elementary text on alternating-current electricity, simple enough to be readily understood by beginners, and, at the same time, complete enough to be a proper foundation for engineering practice or for later advanced study. The authors have tried to present a thorough treatment of the general principles, everywhere closely associating the principles with the machines, the methods and the facts of everyday practice. It is believed that information thus arranged becomes immediately usable, and that, in addition, the student receives the suggestion and incentive for further study on his own initiative. Throughout the text, the steps by which new ideas are introduced have been made small. The increased speed and certainty with which the students advance under this plan has been found, on careful trial, to more than compensate for the longer text made necessary. In order that a proper background for the study of alternating-current phenomena may be provided, the authors introduced in Chapter I a brief general discussion of the ways in which alternating current and alternating-current machinery are commonly used and the place that they occupy in the larger field of power generation and distribution. It is our belief that the perspective view thus obtained by the student will greatly aid him in all subsequent chapters of the book.
