An essential resource for both students and teachers alike, this DC Electrical Circuits Workbook contains over 500 problems spread across seven chapters. Each chapter begins with an overview of the relevant theory and includes exercises focused on specific kinds of circuit problems such as Analysis, Design, Challenge and Computer Simulation. An Appendix offers the answers to the odd-numbered Analysis and Design exercises. Chapter topics include fundamental for current, voltage, energy, power and resistor color code; series, parallel, and series-parallel resistive circuits using either voltage or current sources; analysis techniques such as superposition, source conversions, mesh analysis, nodal analysis, Thévenin's and Norton's theorems, and delta-wye conversions; plus dependent sources, and an introduction to capacitors and inductors. RL and RC circuits are included for DC initial and steady state response along with transient response. This is the print version of the on-line OER.

Fundamentals of the fields of electricity and electronics including the technology of the Information Age, applied electricity, alternating current circuits, electronic devices and applications, basic electronic circuits, and electronic communication and data systems.

This practical resource introduces electrical and electronic principles and technology covering theory through detailed examples, enabling students to develop a sound understanding of the knowledge required by technicians in fields such as electrical engineering, electronics and telecommunications. No previous background in engineering is assumed, making this an ideal text for vocational courses at Levels 2 and 3, foundation degrees and introductory courses for undergraduates.

Fundamentals of Power Electronics, Second Edition, is an up-to-date and authoritative text and reference book on power electronics. This new edition retains the original objective and philosophy of focusing on the fundamental principles, models, and technical requirements needed for designing practical power electronic systems while adding a wealth of new material. Improved features of this new edition include: A new chapter on input filters, showing how to design single and multiple section filters; Major revisions of material on averaged switch modeling, low-harmonic rectifiers, and the chapter on AC modeling of the discontinuous conduction mode; New material on soft switching, active-clamp snubbers, zero-voltage transition full-bridge converter, and auxiliary resonant commutated pole. Also, new sections on design of multiple-winding magnetic and resonant inverter design; Additional appendices on Computer Simulation of Converters using averaged switch modeling, and Middlebrook's Extra Element Theorem, including four tutorial examples; and Expanded treatment of current programmed control with complete results for basic converters, and much more. This edition includes many new examples, illustrations, and exercises to guide students and professionals through the intricacies of power electronics design. Fundamentals of Power Electronics, Second Edition, is intended for use in introductory power electronics courses and related fields for both senior undergraduates and first-year graduate students interested in converter circuits and electronics, control systems, and magnetic and power systems. It will also be an invaluable reference for professionals working in power electronics, power conversion, and analogue and digital electronics.
