Excerpt from Electricity for Engineers: A Clear and Comprehensive Treatise on the Principles, Construction and Operation of Dynamos, Motors, Lamps, Indicators and Measuring InstrumentsHat is electricity? This is a question that is frequently asked, but has not yet been satisfactorily answered.It is a force, subject to control under well known laws. Steam is also a force - that is, it is capable of doing work when rightly applied, and in connection with machines designed to use it. It does not matter, seriously, to us what electricity is, so long as we can produce it and com pel it to do work. Practical results are what we are after.We will try to explain how electricity is produced, and how it is used in some of the electrical machines that are now in use in nearly all parts of the world.Engineers in charge of machinery, naturally want to understand the construction of the different machines and the principles of their working - the how? And why? Having this knowledge, success depends upon watching and doing, or, more simply: Know how and Do it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
