Electricity from principles to everyday applications

Anne O’Daly’s overview connects the science of electric current with the materials and methods involved in conducting and producing it. The coverage ranges from moving charge, stored charge, resistance, and power to direct and alternating current, then places those concepts in domestic, industrial, and communications settings. Activities link the subject matter to practical applications, while a biography of Thomas Edison adds a historical dimension. The book’s broad survey makes electricity both a scientific topic and a technology encountered across daily life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults studying electricity or electronics
  • Students seeking an overview of core electric-current concepts
  • Readers interested in practical uses of electricity and Thomas Edison
