"The Boy Electrician" by Alfred Powell Morgan is a practical guide for young experimenters written in the early 20th century. The book aims to explore the world of electricity by offering straightforward explanations and plans to create various electrical devices. The target audience is boys interested in science and engineering, encouraging them to engage in hands-on experimentation with electrical apparatus. At the start of the book, the author introduces a relatable scenario about a boy disappointed with a complex electric train set that left him no room for creativity. This sets the stage for the purpose of the work: to empower young inventors by providing practical projects that they can construct themselves, using readily available materials. Morgan emphasizes the importance of understanding the principles of electricity while providing clear instructions for various experiments and creations. The first chapter dives into the basics of magnets and magnetism, establishing a foundation for the scientific concepts that will be explored throughout the book, promising an engaging journey through electrical experimentation.
