What reading level is The Story of Electricity book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The line wire is usually of copper and its alloys, which are more suitable than iron, especi- ally for long distances. Just as the signal cur- rents in a submarine cable induce corresponding currents in the sea water which retard them, so the currents in a land wire induce corresponding io6 THE STORY OF ELECTRICITY.
currents in the earth, but in aerial lines the earth is generally so far away that the consequent re- tardation is negligible except in fast working on long lines. The Bell teleph...one, however, is ex- tremely sensitive, and this induction affects it so FIG. 58.
much that a conversation through one wire can be overheard on a neighbouring wire. Moreover, there is such a thing as " self-induction " in a wire that is to say, a current in a wire tends to in- duce an opposite current in the same wire, which is practically equivalent to an increase of resist- ance in the wire. It is particularly observed at the starting and stopping of a current, and gives rise to what is called the " extra-spark " seen in breaking the circuit of an induction coil.
