personnel in electrical and electronic related Navy ratings Written by and with the advice of senior in these ratings this series provides beginners with fundamental electrical and electronic through self study The presentation of this series is not oriented to any specific rating structure is divided into modules containing related information organized into traditional paths of instruction series is designed to give small amounts of information that can be easily digested before advancing into the more complex material For a student just becoming acquainted with electricity or it is highly recommended that the modules be studied in their suggested sequence While is a listing of NEETS by module title the following brief descriptions give a quick overview of how individual modules flow together 1 Introduction to Matter Energy and Direct Current introduces the course with a short history electricity and electronics and proceeds into the characteristics of matter energy and direct current It also describes some of the general safety precautions and first aid procedures that should be knowledge for a person working in the field of electricity Related safety hints are
