[Eli Mounteer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Electricity principles and applications by Richard Fowler is a 300 page book, about electric principles, applications, measurement devices, and how to use said instruments. It describes the different equations and formulas most commonly used when working in the field of electricity, and the differences between them when working with direct current or alternating current. It also explains the basic components and the electrical operation principles of several different types of electrical hardware, and their correlation to theoretical electric principles.

This book was a challenging read, as it is a textbook, and was written in textbook format. As a reader who mostly reads for enjoyment, such a book was difficult to finish in the allotted time, due to the dull language. Because of this, I would recommend it to those who specifically enjoy physics, especially electricity, are willing to read a more formal book, and have a good time frame to finish it by. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars, as I did like this book, but it had some downsides, such as dull language. I think this book would have been a much better read if I had more time to read it, so as to absorb the information with thought process, and understand the principles better.
