Creator:

Davidson, Michael W.

Publisher:

Florida State University

Description: This item is a comprehensive beginning tutorial on generators and motors. Fully illustrated, it explains how current flows through a conductor and how motors change electric energy into mechanical energy. The author devotes careful attention to coils and how they are used to cut through lines of force and strengthen a magnetic field. The latter half of the tutorial illustrates both AC and DC current generators and motors, with graphs to show the current wave cycles of both. This item is part of a larger collection on Electricity and Magnetism by the same authors.
