Details: 

• Why can birds actually sit on a power line without being damaged? What is a capacitor and how does it work? And why is apparent power not a freshly tapped beer? These and many other questions are answered in this book. With simple explanations, many examples and clear models, the reader gets a basic understanding of electrical engineering.
• Scientific flourishes are avoided, the focus is much more on explaining terms and basics to the reader as closely as possible to everyday life and summarizing the key points as precisely as possible.
• It should be mentioned that this book does not claim to explain the basics of electrical engineering in full. Rather, after reading it, the reader should be familiar with the most important terms from the individual basic topics and, above all, have really understood them. It is assumed that there is a reader who has not or only little dealt with electrical engineering.
• In a preparatory chapter, basic terms from the field of engineering such as physical quantities, prefixes or the international system of units are introduced. Then important basic terms such as energy, power, current and voltage are explained.
• Chapter 2 gives an introduction to magnetic and electric fields.
• The third chapter covers the fundamentals of direct current technology, whereby the elementary passive components resistor, capacitor and coil are dealt with comprehensively.
• In the last chapter, the two necessary mathematical subject areas trigonometry and complex numbers are dealt with, and then finally the essential basics of AC technology are dealt with.
