The Complete Laboratory Manual for Electricity, 2E is the ultimate preparation resource for any curriculum dedicated to training electricians. From basic electricity through AC theory, transformers, and motor controls, all aspects of a typical electrical curriculum are explored in a single volume. Hands-on experiments that acquaint students with the theory and application of electrical concepts offer valuable experience in constructing a multitude of circuits such as series, parallel, combination, RL series and parallel, RC series and parallel, and RLC series and parallel circuits. Each lab features an explanation of the circuit to be connected, with examples of the calculations necessary to complete the exercise and step-by-step procedures for conducting the experiment. Labs use generic equipment and devices commonly found in most hardware stores and electrical supply houses, and a materials list details the components necessary to perform all of the exercises.

Laboratory Manual for Exercise Physiology, Second Edition With HKPropel Access, provides guided opportunities for students to translate their scientific understanding of exercise physiology into practical applications in a variety of settings. Written by experts G. Gregory Haff and Charles Dumke, the text builds upon the success of the first edition with full-color images and the addition of several new online interactive lab activities . The revitalized second edition comprises 16 laboratory chapters that offer a total of 49 lab activities. Each laboratory chapter provides a complete lesson, including objectives, definitions of key terms, and background information that sets the stage for learning. Each lab activity supplies step-by-step procedures, providing guidance for those new to lab settings so that they may complete the procedures. New features and updates in this edition include the following: Related online learning tools delivered through HKPropel that contain 10 interactive lab activities with video to enhance student learning and simulate the experience of performing the labs in the real world A completely new laboratory chapter on high-intensity fitness training that includes several popular intermittent fitness tests that students can learn to perform and interpret An appendix that helps estimate the oxygen cost of walking, running, and cycling New research and information pertaining to each laboratory topic A lab activity finder that makes it easy to locate specific tests In addition to the interactive lab activities, which are assignable and trackable by instructors, HKPropel also offers students electronic versions of individual and group data sheets of standards and norms, question sets to help students better understand laboratory concepts, and case studies with answers to further facilitate real-world application. Chapter quizzes (assessments) that are automatically graded may also be assigned by instructors to test comprehension of critical concepts. Organized in a logical progression, the text builds upon the knowledge students acquire as they advance. Furthermore, the text provides multiple lab activities and includes an equipment list at the beginning of each activity, allowing instructors flexibility in choosing the lab activities that will best work in their facility. Laboratory Manual for Exercise Physiology, Second Edition With HKPropel Access, exposes students to a broad expanse of tests that are typically performed in an exercise physiology lab and that can be applied to a variety of professional settings. As such, the text serves as a high-quality resource for basic laboratory testing procedures used in assessing human performance, health, and wellness. Note: A code for accessing HKPropel is not included with this ebook but may be purchased separately.

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.

For this edition, experiments have been written in a down-to-earth style so that students can grasp the most fundamental concepts. State-of-the-art materials are used in the exercises, and use of modern equipment is encouraged. The experimental procedures have been written in a manner requiring the student to think and make decisions.

This book should be of interest to students taking basic electronics courses at technical and further education colleges.

* Experiments are linked to real applications. Students are likely to be interested and excited to learn more and explore. Example of experiments linked to real applications can be seen in Experiment 2, steps 6, 7, 15, and 16; Experiment 5, steps 6 to 10 and Experiment 7, steps 12 to 20. * Self-contained background to all electronics experiments. Students will be able to follow without having taken an electronics course. Includes a self-contained introduction based on circuits only. For the instructor this provides flexibility as to when to run the lab. It can run concurrently with the first circuits analysis course. * Review background sections are provided. This convenient text feature provides an alternative point of view; helps provide a uniform background for students of different theoretical backgrounds. * A "touch-and-feel" approach helps to provide intuition and to make things "click". Rather than thinking of the lab as a set of boring procedures, students get the idea that what they are learning is real. * Encourages students to explore and to ask "what if" questions. Helps students become active learners. * Introduces students to simple design at a very early stage. Helps students see the relevance of what they are learning, and to become active learners. * Helps students become tinkerers and to experiment on their own. Students are encouraged to become creative, and their mind is opened to new possibilities. This also benefits their subsequent professional work and/or graduate study.
