Synopsis

For the first course in electrical engineering, this text is more than just a survey of the basics of electrical engineering. Even at this introductory level, Bobrow covers most of the material in sufficient detail for students to gain a good understanding of the fundamental principles on which modern electrical engineering is based. The text is partitioned into four parts: circuits, electronics, digital systems, and electromechanics. The circuits portion includes the traditional circuits topics, such as Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, resistive analysis techniques, various circuit theorems and principles, time-domain and frequency-domain analysis procedures, power, three-phase circuits, resonance, frequency response, and elementary system concepts. The electronics portion deals with both theory and applications of the major semiconductor devices: diodes and transistors in both discrete and integrated-circuit (IC) form. In the digital systems portion, basic digital logic elements and logic design in both discrete and IC forms are covered. Sequential, as well as combinational logic, is covered. The electromechanics portion covers topics such as magnetic circuits, magnetic induction, and transformers on an elementary level. Each chapter ends with a problem set, with selected answers available at the back of the book.

About this title

Review

The second edition of this book is thoroughly expanded and updated, providing comprehensive coverage of the essential topics in the field of electronics and in some degree, electromechanics. This book is a good introduction to some aspects -low power- of electrical engineering. Furthermore, its nice lay out makes it very pleasant to use.European Power Electronics and Drives Journal
