Switches are marvelous things - they control the most useful and convenient form of energy in our modern world, electricity. By powering machines and devices it turns night into day, stillness into motion, silence into sound and cold into hot - or the other way around. Yet electricity itself is invisible, so we study the science of it by its effects.

This book is packed with stunning colour photographs and diagrams. Together with a detailed and expertly written text, it provides an accurate, comprehensive account of the topic of electricity and magnetism for key stage 3 students. Main text is supported by a series of fact files which provide information at a glance: history file, future file, test file and fact file. The topics covered include: cells and batteries, electromagnetism, electric motors, generating electricity, electricity in the home, and electronics.
