What does the title mean? It is the idea that we can approach any electrical or electronic (and mechanical) fault using a basic logical or probability-based investigation to observe and correctly identify the significant indicators that will eventually lead us to the failure or failures. This is no different from the Detective Books you read or TV Shows you watch where the hero used a logical approach (while all those around him just ran around willy nilly) to identify the clues and catch the bad guy. This book is a complete course in Troubleshooting. Along with the written theory explaining my troubleshooting methods, there are over 80 diagrams and drawings, and 50 comprehension questions (with the answers) that will help you monitor how much you understand.

Finding a useful guide to the principles of electronic troubleshooting was a problem in itself for professional technicians and hobbyists. Not anymore. This updated tool gives them all the fundamentals they need to do successful servicing and repair work, blending traditional theory with the very latest insight into modern electronic technology. Time-saving tables, charts, and illustrations pinpoint equipment problems in a snap. Numerous reference guides, rules of thumb, and tricks of the trade all combine to assist them in troubleshooting the full spectrum of devices and products more easily than ever before.

Fundamental Electrical and Electronic Principles covers the essential principles that form the foundations for electrical and electronic engineering courses. This new edition is extensively updated with a greater focus on electronic principles, evenly balanced with electrical principles. Fuller coverage is given to active electronics, with the additional topics of diodes and transistors, and core topics such as oscilloscopes now reflect state-of-the-art technology. Each main chapter starts with learning outcomes tied to the syllabus. All theory is explained in detail and backed up with numerous worked examples and handy summaries of equations. Students can test their understanding with end-of-chapter assignment questions for which answers are provided. The book also provides detailed suggested practical assignments outlining apparatus and methods. The book forms an excellent core work for beginning further education students with some mathematics background preparing for careers as technicians, and an introductory text for first-year undergraduate students in all engineering disciplines.
