Watered-Down Electricity:Using Water to Explain Electricity

by John A. Fife, John Fife

John Fife | January 12, 1996 | Trade Paperback

We all know what electricity does, but how many of us, either children or adults, know how electricity works or what it really is?! Here is a book that finally explains this powerful yet mysterious energy in our lives in a way that makes it understandable to us all. By comparing it in words and pictures (half of the pages have graphics!) to something we already know a lot about: water. Actually the properties and conduct of water and electricity are amazingly similar and serve quite well in facilitating a conceptual illustration of what this (sometimes) "mysterious" energy source is. This is a book for all ages, including adults, young adults and children, covering in a clear and simple manner the basics of what electricity is and how it behaves. Learn about the latest methods of producing electricity, how generators work and much more! At last, here is an opportunity to understand in a quick and easy way, this productive power that is so important to every aspect our lives.

    This is an author/publisher review: This book attempts to explain what electricity is in a way that readers of ALL ages can understand. Using simple comparisons to what you already know, and lots of graphics (half the pages have graphics), this sometimes mysterious subject is made understandable. A Great educational gift.
