Customer Reviews

good intro& basics book on electricity and basic electronics
Excellent textbook. Presented in a textbook format with plenty of pictures, easy to read and understand. Linear learning curve. Explains ins and outs of electronics and electricity basics, easy math (no two-page formula derivations!). I found it a great resource for brushing up for my electronics tech certification. Recomend to anyone who wants to know how electricity operates, with references to real life. Straight to the point (thorough basics, and minimum fuss).

A well written text.
I have been using Demar's Standard Textbook of Electricity for the past five years. This book is our primary text for the first three months of a 10 month, 5 days per week, 7 hours per day Industrial Electricity Course. Student feedback is uniformly positive.

EXCELLENT BOOK
I am an electrical engineer with 20 years of experience. This book is a GREAT review of all electrical theories and practices. This book will give you confidence and remind you of many lessons that you forgot from college. Written in nice sized chapters with pictures and examples. I recommend to non-engineers and all engineers.
