References are too numerous to mention individually. An exception is “The Usborne Illustrated Science” which gives accessible explanations enhanced by excellent illustrations. Most of the ground covered can be obtained from the internet; Wikipedia articles are often a good starting point. Two sites are particularly recommended:
• The Physics Classroom: www.physicsclassroom.com
the subject of electricity is dealt with in a very approachable way requiring little prior knowledge.
• An excellent general chemistry virtual textbook which includes electrochemistry is authored by Dr Stephen Lower:

• The English version of Alfonso Crujera’s handbook “ Electro-etching handbook – a safe, non-toxic approach”
it may be ordered from Amazon or directly online from the publishers. Details here.
