Basic Electricity, by Van Valkenburgh, Nooger & Neville, Inc., has taught three generations of the fundamentals of electricity and electronics technology. We are proud to continue this tradition with the release of the revised and completely updated course edition of Basic Electricity. Originally published in five separate volumes, now with this edition you get all five volumes in one book.

From a simplified explanation of the electronics to AC/DC machinery, alternators, and other advanced topics, Basic Electricity is the complete course for mastering the fundamentals of electricity.
This book provides a clear understanding of how electricity is produced, measured, controlled, and used. A minimum of mathematics is used for the direct explanations of primary cells, magnetism, Ohm's law, capacitance, transformers, DC generators, AC motors, and other essential topics.
- Volume 1: Section information includes what electricity is, conductors/insulators/ semiconductors, electric charges, magnetism, current flow, EMF, how electricity is produced and used, electromagnetism, how a meter works, how current is measured, how voltage is measured, resistance, and an introduction Ohm's law.
- Volume 2: Section information includes electric circuits, Ohm's law, resistance, DC series circuits, DC parallel circuits, DC series-parallel circuits, electric power, Thevenin's and Norton's theorems, troubleshooting DC circuits, and an introduction to alternating current.
- Volume 3: Section information includes DC and AC electric circuits, what alternating current is, AC meters, resistance in AC circuits, inductance in DC and AC circuits.
- Volume 4:Section information includes AC electric circuits, AC series circuits, AC parallel circuits, AC complex circuits, transformers, introduction to AC power distribution, troubleshooting AC circuits, mathematics appendix.
- Volume 5:Introduction to generators and motors, introduction to generators, the elementary generator, the DC generator, the DC motor, DC systems and controls, DC machinery maintenance and troubleshooting, AC generators-alternators, AC motors, AC systems and controls, and AC systems troubleshooting.

Rating: 5 Stars
An electronic enthusiast from Vineland, NJ writes:
"The absolute 'bible' on electricity-electronics for any adult beginner without math.
He goes on to say:
"This book is better than all the other self-teach manuals presently on the market. It is not hypermath or over simplistic. It has taken me five years and I have spent $500 on books that promised much but delivered little. All that time and effort was wasted before I found this book. It saved me over $2,000 in trying to learn electronics from a correspondence school. Along with other books such as Basic Solid-State Electronics, Schematic Diagrams by Richard Johnson, and Test Procedures for Basic Electronics by Irving Gottlieb, have made a great introductory course for me. If there is anything negative about this book, I would say it is the lack of publicity it gets especially in electronics related magazines."
