AbstractPROF. W. L. BBAGG'S course of six lectures “adapted to a juvenile auditory” delivered at the Royal Institution at Christmas 1934 forms the basis of this book. The first three chapters deal with the behaviour of electric charges, electrical currents and magnets, and with such fundamental apparatus as cells, motors and dynamos. The other chapters deal with power stations and the transmission of electrical current, telegraphs, telephones and wireless. The demonstrations which are a feature of these lectures are, in the book, replaced by many excellent illustrations. Although the language used is simple and the style most pleasing, technical terms are freely used. Prof. Bragg holds the view that as in many cases no equivalent word can be found, it is simpler to explain each technical term as it arises and then to use it freely. There is no mathematics in the book. Units in which electrical quantities are measured are made more realistic by quoting figures from familiar examples.Electricity
