Third Edition
By
John Bird, BSc (Hons), CEng, CMath, CSci, FIET, MIEE, FIIE, FIMA, FCollT, Royal Naval School of Marine Engineering, HMS Sultan, Gosport; formerly University of Portsmouth and Highbury College, UK
Description
In this book John Bird introduces electrical principles and technology through examples rather than theory – enabling
students to develop a sound understanding of the principles needed by technicians in fields such as electrical engineering, electronics
and telecommunications. No previous background in engineering is assumed, making this an ideal text for vocational courses at Level 2
and 3, foundation degree and introductory courses for undergraduates.
The book presents a logical topic progression rather than
following the structure of a particular syllabus. However, the coverage of this new edition has been brought fully in line with the electrical
and electronics units of the 2007 BTEC National specification. It is also designed to cover the requirements of the BTEC First specifications.
New
material in this third edition includes brand new chapters on semiconductor diodes and transistors as well as added sections on batteries,
fuel cells and alternative and renewable energies, relative and absolute voltages, self and mutual inductance, and virtual test and measuring
instruments.
Support material for tutors is available as a free download via the Instructor
Manual section on http://textbooks.elsevier.com:
- Instructor's manual with full solutions and suggested marking scheme
for all 7 revision tests in the book
- Solutions manual with worked solutions for about 400 of the further problems in the
book
- Electronic files for all illustrations in the book
Audience
Technicians, students, and others new to the fields of electronics and electrical engineering.
