Applied Electricity And Electronics For Technology

Rapid advancements in the field of electricity and electronics require students to learn a vast amount of information, update skills, and pursue higher education. To be competitive, a solid foundation in the basics is essential. Today's electrical/electronic technician or engineer must have a thorough understanding of electrical principles, use of a multimeter and oscilloscope, soldering techniques, assembly, and repair. Students and instructors in high schools, technical schools, and colleges will find [this book] provides the necessary preparation ... [This book offers a] blend of theory and application.-Introd.

Fundamentals of the fields of electricity and electronics including the technology of the Information Age, applied electricity, alternating current circuits, electronic devices and applications, basic electronic circuits, and electronic communication and data systems.

This practical resource introduces electrical and electronic principles and technology covering theory through detailed examples, enabling students to develop a sound understanding of the knowledge required 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 Levels 2 and 3, foundation degrees and introductory courses for undergraduates.

Research in Electric Power comprises the lectures presented in the Cornell University Lecture in 1965, which focuses on the research and development of electric energy or technology. The lectures compiled in this book are divided into three chapters. Chapter I traces the dramatic and exciting history of growth of the electric power industry and important contribution of a series of great technological developments. The second chapter examines in great detail the problems demanding research in the main areas of planning, design, and construction of the physical facilities; in successfully and economically operating the systems; and in developing the much-expanded markets for electric energy constituting the basic building blocks of the invention structure. Chapter III discusses a rational program for the organization of research in the American power industry, projecting on a series of plans that makes possible examination and focusing in forward-looking depth and breadth of scope on the industry's research needs in every quarter. This book is a useful reference to electrical engineering students and individuals who intend to gain knowledge on electric energy and its industries.

Excerpt from Applied Electricity: A Text-Book of Electrical Engineering, for Second Year Students This book is intended as a Text-book of Electrical Engineering for second year students. I define these as students who have already become acquainted with the elementary fundamental principles and laws of Magnetism and Electricity, and who have also a knowledge of the elements of Mechanics, Heat, and Mathematics. It may seem that I am assuming too much for the average student in a Technical Institute, but if he is to gain any really useful knowledge of this subject such preliminary training is absolutely essential. My experience teaches me that students are quite prepared to devote their first year to this preliminary work when the necessity for and the subsequent advantage of it are pointed out. This volume is intended to be a direct "follow-on" to this first year work. In it I have endeavoured to describe the fundamental principles of applied magnetism and electricity, and have been careful to show how the practical applications are related to the phenomena of "pure" science. In fact, I have tried to treat the subject with absolute continuity, so that there shall be no line of demarcation dividing the region of pure from that of applied electricity. But, of course, I have only dealt with those sections of pure science which are connected with modern electrical practice. Wherever it has been possible I have described laboratory experiments in some detail, so that the book will be useful not only as a supplement to a course of lectures but also in the laboratory, where the student may perform the experiments and make determinations himself.
