Synopsis

For use in DC/AC courses and may also be appropriate for Devices (electronics) courses.

This text covers topics from basic electricity, direct current and alternating current circuits, through semiconductor devices and op amps. It builds upon the highly praised “practical learning approach” with: simulation circuits, circuit analysis tables, protoboard pictorials, historical success stories, guided examples, actual circuit applications, device testing, circuit troubleshooting, performance based objectives, quick-references summary sheets, integrated mini-math sections, and much more, making all of the topics student friendly. This fine-tuned, carefully tested and accuracy checked volume meets the needs of those beginning their training or expanding their career skills in electronics today.

About this title

From the Back Cover

This time-honored text, now in its fifth edition, continues to offer comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of DC/AC electronics in a style that is both easy to read and easy to understand. Appropriate for use in any DC/AC Circuits course and for some Electronic Devices courses, it provides the solid foundation so necessary for a clear understanding of the field of electronics as a whole.

This finely-tuned, carefully tested, and accuracy checked volume is organized into four sections:

• Part I: The Fundamentals of Electricity
• Part II: Direct-Current Electronics
• Part III: Alternating-Current Electronics
• Part IV: Semiconductor Devices and Circuits

Having written 12 textbooks and 20 editions, and with 17 years of front-line education experience, best-selling author Nigel Cook has produced yet another outstanding text in this fifth edition, once again making the world of electronics come vividly alive. The reader will quickly be put at ease by the student-friendly writing style and the author's ability to make traditionally difficult topics easily accessible.
