Overview

This book provides an exceptionally clear introduction to DC/AC circuits supported by superior exercises, examples, and illustrations—and an emphasis on troubleshooting and applications. It features an exciting full color format which uses color to enhance the instructional value of photographs, illustrations, tables, charts, and graphs. Throughout the book's coverage, the use of mathematics is limited to only those concepts that are needed for understanding. Floyd's acclaimed troubleshooting emphasis, as always, provides learners with the problem solving experience they need for a successful career in electronics. Chapter topics cover components, quantities and units; voltage, current, and resistance; Ohm's Law; energy and power; series circuits; parallel circuits; series-parallel circuits; circuit theorems and conversions; branch, mesh, and node analysis; magnetism and electromagnetism; an introduction to alternating current and voltage; phasors and complex numbers; capacitors; inductors; transformers; RC circuits; RL circuits; RLC circuits and resonance; basic filters; circuit theorems in AC analysis; pulse response of reactive circuits; and polyphase systems in power applications. For electronics technicians, electronics teachers, and electronics hobbyists.

Editorials

From The Critics

New edition of a reference that provides up-to-date coverage of the fundamentals of electronic components and circuits, with a focus upon analysis, applications, and troubleshooting. In addition to expanded information, new features include safety notes and a CD-ROM containing circuit simulations in both Electronics Workbench Version 5 and Multisim. Designed for use in a two-term course. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Booknews

A textbook for a course covering direct current in one term and alternative current in a second, for students studying to become electronics technicians. Focuses heavily on applications and trouble shooting. Nicely laid out with color used throughout, though the printing is uneven and some pages are barely legible. Published in 1983 and 1990 by Merrill Publishing, and in 1993 by Prentice-Hall. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
