Discussions on Electricity introduces electricity and magnetism to everyone who is interested in the way electricity really works. The book includes concise descriptions on the basic effects and interactions of electricity as well as brief introductions to quantum phenomena and magnetohydrodynamics.
The purpose of the book is to encourage the reader into independent thinking and to encourage questioning why something works as it does. The laws of the nature are not questioned, but their interpretation leaves plenty of room for discussion. Electrical effects, applications, theories and people who have shaped them are discussed in the book.
The book is suitable for students and everyone interested in the nature of electricity.
