If you find yourself struggling to understand the basic concepts of electricity, I can warmly recommend the book "There are no electrons" by Kenn Amdahl. It's a very silly book, which attempts to explain electricity through allegory and humour
- pjc50 6y agoThat looks extremely interesting - I see so many people misled by electron misconceptions.
- elric 6y agoIt really is. Though I guess I should clarify that it gives you practical understanding of electricity and the basics of electronics. Working knowledge, as it were. It won't teach you about the actual physics of electricity. Kind of like how you can learn downhill skiing without understanding Newton or Einstein.
- DennisP 6y agoI have that book, and agree, it's fantastic.
- analyzethis 6y agoThanks! I can't stop reading.
- gnulinux 6y agoNote that this is not the same Amdahl as the famous Amdahl's law in computing.
- p1esk 6y agoBut they're related (nephew?)
- wbeaty 6y agoTHERE ARE NO ELECTRONS is incredibly excellent.
