The Manga Guide to Electricity teaches electricity in an innovative and refreshing way by combining authentic Japanese-style manga cartoons with practical educational content. The book's story revolves around Rereko, a girl struggling to pass her exams in Electopia, the Land of Electricity. Graduate student Hikaru decides to help Rereko after she's exiled to Toyko-he's quickly teaching her the fundamentals, such as static electricity and Coloumb's law; the relationship between voltage, resistance, and current; and the difference between series and parallel electric circuits. Hikaru teaches Rereko (and readers) about electricity using real-world examples like flashlights, electric appliances, batteries, and turbines. By the end of the book, Rereko and readers master even difficult concepts like capacitance and electromagnetic induction, the right- and left-handed rules, and how transformers, semiconductors, and transistors work. This whimsical and easy-to-read guide also includes examples and exercises (with answer keys) to help readers learn.
