Along the way, you'll learn about the meaning of "voltage" and "current," what makes an LED work, and the difference between AC and DC. The last chapter uses transistors -- the basic building blocks of every computer -- for lots of interesting experiments. With plenty of colorful illustrations, historical stories, and an easy, accessible style, A Kitchen Course in Electricity and Magnetism will be a great start for budding and amateur scientists who want to learn more about how the world works.Electronic circuitsPopular worksOpticsElectrodynamicsMagnetismMagnetic materialsElectronicsMicroelectronicsElectronic Circuits and Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31010Popular Science, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q00007Classical Electrodynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21070Magnetism, Magnetic Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25129Electronics and Microelectronics, Instrumentationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24027Electronic circuits.Popular works.Optics.Electrodynamics.Magnetism.Magnetic materials.Electronics.Microelectronics.Electronic Circuits and Devices.Popular Science, general.Classical Electrodynamics.Magnetism, Magnetic Materials.Electronics and Microelectronics, Instrumentation.300500530535.2Nightingale Davidauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut792217Spencer Christopherauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910300413803321A Kitchen Course in Electricity and Magnetism2508512UNINA
