And this time, she has to pass.Luckily, her ever-patient tutor Hikaru is there to help.

The real-world examples that you'll find in The Manga Guide to Electricity will teach you:
What electricity is, how it works, how it's created, and how it can be used
The relationship between voltage, current, and resistance (Ohm's law)
Key electrical concepts like inductance and capacitance

How electricity produces heat and the relationship between current and magnetic fields
If thinking about how electricity works really fries your brain, let The Manga Guide to Electricity teach you all things electrical in a shockingly fun way.

Electricity "will ground you solidly in how electricity works, including it's creation, how it's influenced, and manipulated. Concepts of current, capacitance, potential, voltage, and so on, are all well taught, including the primary methods used to generate electricity in the world today. The result of this book may be enough to help the reader pass an exam similar to what Rereko faces, and possibly for a few, it might spawn enough curiosity to explore the topic further."
