It is unquestionably the best book of its kind for either broad or more limited studies of electrical fundamentals. It is divided into 21 chapters and an extensive section of appendixes. Chapters cover safety, fundamental concepts of electricity, batteries, series direct-current circuits, network analysis of direct-current circuits, electrical conductors and wiring techniques, electromagnetism and magnetic circuits, introduction to alternating-current electricity, inductance, capacitance, inductive and capacitive reactance, fundamental alternating-current circuit theory, direct-current generators, direct current motor magnetic amplifiers, and synchros and servomechanisms. Appendixes acquaint lay readers with common terms, abbreviations, component color-code, full load currents of motors, and cable types; they also supply trig functions, square and square roots, basic formulas, and laws of exponents. Thus the reader is supplied with a complete basic coverage of all important aspects of electricity. And, drawing on its ample funds, the Navy was able to fill this text with dozens of illustrations so that the book becomes almost a multimedia teaching process. This is an excellent text for classroom use or for home study. Students will also find it a valuable supplement to courses in which theory is emphasized while little attention is paid to application; it will also supplement a course in which this situation is reversed. In addition, Basic Electricity serves the lay reader who simply wants a knowledge of fundamental concepts of electricity or wishes to study more advanced concepts and applications. 1969 edition. Review: "better than Ever" - I am a 76 year-old man who tries to maintain brain function by studying schollarly topics. DC electricity is the present obsession,so the knowledge can be applied to an entheusiasm for solar panels. I bought several texts to be able to benefit from different author's versions of how to solve the variety of math problems. I was never satisfied with any of them, so kept looking. On desertcart Books was listed an old US Navy Textbook, used by the entire Seventh Fleet, which included my ship, during the Korean war. Feeling good about the idea, I purchased it. The other texts, all partly read, now sit on a shelf. The Navy book, talks to your thinking like one man speaking to another, covers EVERY topic in such a thorough manner that I never have used any of the other resource books . . . which were all originally bought, one at a time to be the only text. The book speaks logic and reason to this old mind, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be as good as the military Men and Woman who run our present day technology in the war zones. Review: Wish I could use this instead of an expensive textbook... Awesome text!!! - Easily one of the absolute BEST informative books I've ever read...and it's so cheap!! I wish I could buy books like this for school instead of textbooks easily costing $100-$200 each - and they're much less clear than this book. This is an awesome resource for anyone interested in electricity, or someone who just needs a nice reminder. It covers plenty of the "electricity" field, and gets into some stuff that's not so "basic" for sure. Within two weeks, I bought 4 more books by Dover Books because they're so well written and laid out; some smart authors! I would recommend this to anyone with any remote interest in electricity. Don't waste your time and money with other books! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #455,579 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #35 in Electric Machinery & Motors #2,508 in Physics (Books) #17,621 in Textbooks (Special Features Stores) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 449 Reviews | ## Images ![Basic Electricity (Dover Books on Electrical Engineering) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814Tbs-UaZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "better than Ever" *by C***N on January 30, 2010* I am a 76 year-old man who tries to maintain brain function by studying schollarly topics.

Just Ohm's law.. Now, after a few weeks that I have it in my technical library, I can say that I know MUCH MORE about that. The contents are very well explained in detail with a lot of pictures as examples, from Resisteances, Parallel & Series Circuits Analisys, Capacitors, Impedance, DC & AC, AC & DC motors etc. I found the book very easy & clear to read. Also, a good thing I immediatamently noticed, the original current flow direction is used in all the book, from - to + , not as many books use the conventional flow direction. Strongly suggested. ## Frequently Bought Together - Basic Electricity (Dover Books on Electrical Engineering) - Basic Electronics (Dover Books on Engineering) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1463962-basic-electricity-dover-books-on-electrical-engineering](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1463962-basic-electricity-dover-books-on-electrical-engineering) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
