AI Thread Summary
Several users recommend books for understanding electricity, including "Electronic Principles" by Malvino and "Electrical Principles for the Electrical Trades" by Jim Jenneson, which is popular among apprentices. "Circuits" by A. Bruce Carlson is noted for its readability and comprehensive coverage. Additionally, a book by Hayt and Kemmerly is suggested as a valuable resource. This discussion highlights various educational materials for learning about Ohm's laws, AC and DC circuits, and capacitors.

Good book

Try...'Electrical Principles for the Electrical Trades' 5th Edition by Jim Jenneson.

This book is widely used for apprentices in the electrical trade
 
I suggest Circuits by A.Bruce Carlson
It is very easy to read and compreshensive and in-depth coverage.

Good call. I am after something similar so this thread has been useful for me too so thanks :smile:
 
Book by Hayt, Kemmerly is worth a look and is a nice book.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
