    The first part, covering DC circuits, addresses components, quantities, and units; voltage, current, and resistance in electric circuits; Ohm's Law, energy, and power; series circuits; parallel circuits; series-parallel circuits; and magnetism and electromagnetism. The second part treating AC circuits covers an introduction to alternating current and voltage; capacitators; inductors; transformers; RC circuits; RL circuits; RLC circuits and resonance; and pulse response of reactive circuits. Each chapter includes section reviews, worked examples, an assignment, and a summary. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

    The text provides a comprehensive introduction that can be used for a year-long undergraduate course on basic electrical and electronic concepts and their practical applications. The material is divided into DC circuits<-->this includes components, voltage, current, and resistance; Ohm's law; series, parallel and series-parallel circuits; magnetism and electromagnetismfl>and AC circuitsfl>covering alternating current, voltage, capacitors, RC circuits, inductors, RL circuits, RLC circuits and resonance, transformers, and pulse response to reactive circuits. The fifth edition has expanded coverage of engineering notation, the use of the calculator, electrical safety, and troubleshooting; and a new section of circuit simulation problems has been added to each chapter.
