Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Electrical Engineering This text is the outgrowth of experience in teaching the principles of electrical engineering to students of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It aims to provide a substantial first course in the subject by presenting rigorously, and at the same time in understandable form, the really basic principles upon which modern electrical engineering rests. In furtherance of this purpose many problems and examples from current engineering practice are introduced. The book is not, however, to be mistaken for a complete condensed treatise on the entire subject. It is strictly a first course on the principles, and its study should be followed by detailed courses in direct-current and alternating-current machinery. Where-ever applications of the principles are introduced, they are for the purpose of illustrating these principles and rendering them real and alive to the student. The book has the following special features, which we believe to be desirable: 1. The subject of the magnetic circuit has been stressed. It has been the common experience of teachers of electrical engineering that students beginning the subject find this a stumbling block. Much more space than is usual has, therefore, been devoted to this matter. 2. As a basis for explanation, the modern electron theory has been freely used. It has been found that this affords the most rational means of tying together the otherwise widely divergent principles with which the electrical engineer deals. 3. The subjects of thermionic emission, conduction through gases, electrolytic conduction and certain high-frequency phenomena have been included.
