Electric Savvy Blaine C Readler

If you think that electricity is some kind of juice that burns in your lamp like a candle, or if you worry about violating Ohm's law, then this book is for you. On the other hand, if you know that a complete circuit is required for current to flow, but wonder whether higher voltage or higher current will kill you first, then this book is also for you. Even if you understand how electricity animates your vacuum cleaner, but are a little hazy about when to use rechargeable versus alkaline batteries, or how a computer executes instructions, then this book is for you as well. In fact, unless you are heading off to an isolated tropical island to shed modern civilization and live off of fish and coconuts, this book is for you. Explained in a style accessible by the technical and non-technical alike, the book is an entertaining tour through everything electrical in your house, from your doorbell to your advanced surveillance system. Learning has never been so easy and fun.
