An introductory text, Electricity and Electronics Fundamentals, delineates key concepts in electricity using a simplified approach that enhances learning. Mathematical calculations are kept to the very minimum and concepts are demonstrated through application examples and illustrations. The books span of topics includes vital information on direct current electronics, alternating current electricity and semiconductor devices as well as electronic circuits, digital electronics, computers and microprocessors, electronic communications, and electronic power control. Supplementary appendices provide a glossary and section on electrical safety along with an explanation of soldering techniques.

A comprehensive introduction to electricity and electronics - with practical, easy-to-build projects. Also gives suggested reading, sources of equipment and materials and commonly used equations.

This second edition, extensively revised and updated, continues to offer sound, practically-oriented, modularized coverage of the full spectrum of fundamental topics in each of the several major areas of electrical and electronics engineering. Circuit Theory Electrical Measurements and Measuring Instruments Electric Machines Electric Power Systems Control Systems Signals and Systems Analog and Digital Electronicsincluding introduction to microcomputers The book conforms to the syllabi of Basic Electrical and Electronic Sciences prescribed for the first-year engineering students. It is also an ideal text for students pursuing diploma programmes in Electrical Engineering. Written in a straightforward style with a strong emphasis on primary principles, the main objective of the book is to bring an understanding of the subject within the reach of all engineering students. What is New to This Edition : Fundamentals of Control Systems (Chapter 24) Fundamentals of Signals and Systems (Chapter 25) Introduction to Microcomputers (Chapter 32) Substantial revisions to chapters on Transformer, Semiconductor Diodes and Transistors, and Field Effect Transistors Laplace Transform (Appendix B) Applications of Laplace Transform (Appendix C) PSpice (Appendix E) key Features : Numerous solved examples for sound conceptual understanding End-of-chapter review questions and numerical problems for rigorous practice by students Answers to all end-of-chapter numerical problems An objective type Questions Bank with answers to hone the technical skills of students for viva voce and preparation for competitive examinations.

Electrical Circuit Theory and Technology is a fully comprehensive text for courses in electrical and electronic principles, circuit theory and electrical technology. The coverage takes students from the fundamentals of the subject, to the completion of a first year degree level course. Thus, this book is ideal for students studying engineering for the first time, and is also suitable for pre-degree vocational courses, especially where progression to higher levels of study is likely. John Bird's approach, based on 700 worked examples supported by over 1000 problems (including answers), is ideal for students of a wide range of abilities, and can be worked through at the student's own pace. Theory is kept to a minimum, placing a firm emphasis on problem-solving skills, and making this a thoroughly practical introduction to these core subjects in the electrical and electronic engineering curriculum. This revised edition includes new material on transients and laplace transforms, with the content carefully matched to typical undergraduate modules.
