Description

This basic book on electricity, magnetism, and dc and ac circuits combines understandable explanations with clear illustrations to make the theory interesting and easy to understand. As a result, it is the perfect introduction to the field for readers with no previous exposure to electricalstudies, and an excellent refresher for those with electrical knowledge. Beginning with fundamental concepts, the full spectrum of electric circuit topics is covered in non-intimidating fashion, from simple dc circuits to complex ac network analysis, including resonance, transformers, and three-phase ac circuits. Excellent, informatively-captioned illustrations help students understand each new concept or analysis method. Early coverage includes how to use electrical instruments and a later chapter treats the application of an oscilloscope for ac waveform study. The final chapters introduce computer analysis methods, showing PSpice and BASIC programs for analysis of problems given in examples throughout the text.
