The author introduces the concept that superconductivity can establish a perfect formalism of electricity and magnetism. The correspondence of electric materials that exhibit perfect electrostatic shielding (E=0) in the static condition and superconductors that show perfect diamagnetism (B=0) is given to help readers understand the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Another helpful aspect with the introduction of the superconductivity feature perfect diamagnetism is that the correspondence in the development of the expression of magnetic energy and electric energy is clearly shown. Additionally, the basic mathematical operation and proofs are shown in an appendix, and there is full use of examples and exercises in each chapter with thorough answers.

Electricity for the HVACR Technician introduces foundational concepts in HVACR electrical systems, guiding students through basic system design and construction to troubleshooting for complex circuits and devices. Combining conceptual electrical knowledge with practical, step-by-step techniques, it equips new technicians with the skills and knowledge necessary to service and repair commercial and residential HVACR systems.

Presents information about electricity and how it is generated and transmitted, including its history; the science behind it; how circuits, power plants, and electrical lines work; and related environmental questions.
