Basic Electricity: NAVY Training Courses

Washington: Goverment Printing Office, 1956. — 683 p.This book is intended as a basic reference for all enlisted men of the Navy whose duties require them to have a knowledge of the fundamentals of electricity. Such a knowledge is of especial importance to those men in the Seamen Branch, Artificer Branch, and Engine Room Force who are responsible for the operation, maintenance, and repair of electrical equipment. Whether the job involves work on fire control apparatus, radios, steering gear, or motors and generators, the technician should be thoroughly familiar with the basic theory underlying the operation of the mechanism. Beginning with a broad picture of the electrical constituents of matter, the book proceeds with a discussion of static electricity, electricity in motion, and electrical circuits. It explains the uses of Ohm's Law, and the Power Equation, and makes applications of formulas involving Kirchhoff’s Laws. Emphasis is placed on various types of circuits-series, parallel, and series-parallel-and on the theory of induction as applied to electrical apparatus. The essentials of generators and motors are fully explained. The closing chapters include discussions on vacuum tubes, transformers, and electrical measuring devices. As one of several basic NAVY TRAINING COURSES, this book was prepared in the Training Courses Section, Standards and Curriculum Division, Training, Bureau of Naval Personnel.Matter
