Book details

Book Price $0 : Electrical And Electronic Principles And Technology,3rd Edition Introduces The Principles Which Describethe Operation Of D.c. And A.c. Circuits, Covering Bothsteady And Transient States, And Applies These Principlesto Filter Networks, Operational Amplifiers, Three-phasesupplies, Transformers, D.c. Machines And Three-phaseinduction Motors.New Topics Included In This Edition Are A Completeupdate On Semiconductor Diodes And Transistors, Andadditional Material On Batteries, Fuel Cells And Alter-native And Renewable Energies, Relative And Absolutevoltages, Self And Mutual Inductance, Virtual Test Andmeasuring Instruments. In Addition, Applications In Allareas Are Expanded And Emphasised And Some Newfurther Problems Added.A New Feature Of This Third Edition Is That A Free Inter-net Download (lecturers Only) Is Available Of A Sampleof Solutions (some 400) Of The 530 Further Problemscontained In The Book — See Below.Another New Feature Is A Free Internet Download(available For Lecturers Only) Of All 517 Illustrationscontained In The Text — See Below.The Third Edition Of This Textbook Provides Coverageof The Following Syllabuses:(i) ‘Electrical And Electronic Principles’ (Unit 5,BTEC National Certificate And NationalDiploma) — See Chapters 1–10, 11(part), 14,16, 18(part), 21(part), 22(part).(ii) ‘Further Electrical Principles’ (Unit 67, BTECNational Certificate And National Diploma) — Seechapters 13, 15–18, 20, 22 And 23.(iii) Parts Of The Following BTEC National Units:Electrical Applications, Three Phase Systems,Principles AndApplications Of Electronic Devicesand Circuits, Aircraft Electrical Machines, AndTelecommunications Principles.(iv) Electrical Part Of ‘Applied Electrical And Mechan-ical Science For Technicians’ (BTEC FirstCertificate).(v) ‘Electrical And Electronic Principles’, Units Of TheCity & Guilds Level 3 Certificate In Engineering(2800).(vi) ‘Electrical And Electronic Principles’ (Unit ETA/009, EAL Advanced Diploma In Engineering AndTechnology).(vii) Any Introductory/Access/Foundation Courseinvolving Electrical And Electronic EngineeringPrinciples.The Text Is Set Out In Three Main Sections:Section 1, Comprising Chapters 1 To 12, Involvesessential Basic Electrical And Electronic EngineeringPrinciples, With Chapters On Electrical Units And Quan-tities, Introduction To Electric Circuits, Resistance Varia-tion, Batteries And Alternative Sources Of Energy, Seriesand Parallel Networks, Capacitors And Capacitance,magnetic Circuits, Electromagnetism, Electromagneticinduction, Electrical Measuring Instruments And Mea-surements, Semiconductor Diodes And Transistors.Section 2, Comprising Chapters 13 To 19, InvolvesFurther Electrical And Electronic Principles, Withchapters On D.c. Circuit Theorems, Alternating Volt-ages And Currents, Single-phase Series And Parallelnetworks, Filter Networks, D.c. Transients And Operationalamplifiers.Section 3, Comprising Chapters 20 To 23, InvolvesElectrical Power Technology, With Chapters On Three-phase Systems, Transformers, D.c. Machines And Three-phase Induction Motors.Each Topic Considered In The Text Is Presented In Away That Assumes In The Reader Little Previous Knowl-edge Of That Topic. Theory Is Introduced In Each Chapterby A Reasonably Brief Outline Of Essential Information,definitions, Formulae, Procedures, Etc. The Theory Iskept To A Minimum, For Problem Solving Is Extensivelyused To Establish And Exemplify The Theory. It Is Intendedthat Readers Will Gain Real Understanding Through Seeingproblems Solved And Then Through Solving Similar Prob-lems Themselves. See more
