This web page is the first chapter in a free online textbook on electric circuits, appropriate for learners with little background in physics. It provides an introduction to static electricity, conductors and insulators, voltage, current, and resistance.
This item is part of a larger series of textbooks on electricity and digital electronics, all part of the Open Book Project. Each chapter is supplemented with related diagrams, photos, and detailed explanations of mathematical formulas. The authors use a less formal writing style intended to engage a diverse variety of learners. SEE RELATED MATERIALS: for a link to the entire series by the same authors.
