Electrical Circuit Theory And Technology

‘Electrical Circuit Theory and Technology, Revised second Edition’
provides coverage for a wide range of courses that contain electrical
principles, circuit theory and technology in their syllabuses, from
introductory to degree level. The chapter ‘Transients and Laplace
transforms’, which had been removed from the second edition due to page
restraints, has been included in this edition in response to popular demand.
The text is set out in four parts as follows:

PART 1, involving chapters 1 to 12, contains ‘Basic Electrical
Engineering Principles’ which any student wishing to progress in
electrical engineering would need to know. An introduction to electrical
circuits, resistance variation, chemical effects of electricity, series
and parallel circuits, capacitors and capacitance, magnetic circuits,
electromagnetism, electromagnetic induction, electrical measuring
instruments and measurements, semiconductor diodes and transistors are
all included in this section.
PART 2, involving chapters 13 to 22, contains ‘Electrical Principles
and Technology’ suitable for Advanced GNVQ, National Certificate,
National Diploma and City and Guilds courses in electrical and electronic
engineering. D.c. circuit theory, alternating voltages and currents,
single-phase series and parallel circuits, d.c. transients, operational
amplifiers, three-phase systems, transformers, d.c. machines and threephase induction motors are all included in this section.
