Description
"Electrical Circuit Theory and Technology" is a fully comprehensive text for courses in electrical and electronic principles, circuit theory and electrical technology. The coverage takes students from the fundamentals of the subject, to the completion of a first year degree level course. Thus, this book is ideal for students studying engineering for the first time, and is also suitable for pre-degree vocational courses, especially where progression to higher levels of study is likely. John Bird's approach, based on 700 worked examples supported by over 1000 problems (including answers), is ideal for students of a wide range of abilities, and can be worked through at the student's own pace. Theory is kept to a minimum, placing a firm emphasis on problem-solving skills, and making this a thoroughly practical introduction to these core subjects in the electrical and electronic engineering curriculum. This revised edition includes new material on transients and laplace transforms, with the content carefully matched to typical undergraduate modules. Free Tutor Support Material including full worked solutions to the assessment papers featured in the book will be available.
Material is only available to lecturers who have adopted the text as an essential purchase. In order to obtain your password to access the material please follow the guidelines in the book. Revised edition now includes additional material on Transients and Laplace transforms. Highly practical text, including hundreds of examples and problems are included throughout to aid student learning. Free instructor's manual provides full worked solutions to assessment papers.
