Chapters on Electricity: An Introductory Textbook for Students in College (1895) is a comprehensive guide to the principles of electricity, written by Samuel Sheldon. The book is designed for students in college who are just beginning their studies in the field of electrical science. The text is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of electricity, including electrostatics, magnetism, electrical circuits, and electromagnetic waves.The book begins with an overview of the basic principles of electricity and magnetism, including Coulomb's law, Ohm's law, and the laws of induction. It then goes on to explore the properties of electric fields and magnetic fields, and how these fields interact with each other to produce electrical currents.The book also covers the different types of electrical circuits, including series, parallel, and combination circuits, and explains how to calculate the current, voltage, and resistance in each type of circuit. Additionally, the book explains the principles of electromagnetic waves and their applications in communication and other fields.Throughout the book, Sheldon uses clear and concise language to explain complex concepts, making it a valuable resource for students who are new to the field of electrical science. The book also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help students visualize the concepts being discussed.Overall, Chapters on Electricity: An Introductory Textbook for Students in College (1895) is an excellent introduction to the principles of electricity, and is an essential resource for anyone studying electrical science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
