Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electrical Measurements In this book it is intended to give a general treatment of the subject of electrical measurements, special emphasis being placed on those matters which are important to the student of electrical engineering. In preparing a book of this character one has to consider, not only the mature reader who may desire a compendium of methods together with certain practical suggestions, but the student who is beginning the study of Electrical Engineering and who should acquire early in his course a sound knowledge of the process of electrical measurement. This knowledge is fundamental not only to much of the work which the student is required to do in the dynamo laboratory as a matter of engineering training, but to an adequate understanding of electrical testing as it is encountered in the practice of the electrical engineering profession. In the preparation of the text this second class of readers has been particularly in mind. It is assumed that those who use this text have had courses in physics, the theory of electricity, and in mathematics, such as are given to third year students in technical schools of the first rank. The choice of material and the method of treatment have been determined by the authors experience in directing for many years the work of the laboratory for Technical Electrical Measurements at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the book is intended as a text for the guidance of students working in such a laboratory as well as a general reference book on the subject. It is expected that those using the book for purposes of instruction will select such portions as are best suited to their purposes, for more material is presented than can be utilized in both the class room and the laboratory in the time which can properly be allotted to this particular phase of electrical engineering instruction.
