Practical Electricity


Book Description

For short undergraduate courses in Direct Current (DC) and Alternating Current (AC) Circuits. From basic electricity through direct and alternating current circuits, this down-to-earth study on the world of electricity makes the subject come vividly alive for students as it builds upon Cook's highly praised "practical learning approach" featuring historical success stories, guided examples, concept analogies, actual circuit applications, device testing, circuit troubleshooting, and much more. Finely-tuned, carefully tested, and exceptionally student-friendly throughout, Practical Electricity, 2/E meets the needs of those beginning their training or expanding their career skills as they prepare to enter today's dynamic electronics industry.







Power Struggles


Book Description

Laying the foundation for Thomas Edison, the first electric generators were built in the 1830s, the earliest commercial lighting systems before 1860, and the first commercial application of generator-powered light in the early 1860s. This book examines some of these early applications of electricity.

Practical Electrical Engineering


Book Description

This textbook provides comprehensive, in-depth coverage of the fundamental concepts of electrical engineering. It is written from an engineering perspective, with special emphasis on circuit functionality and applications. Reliance on higher-level mathematics and physics, or theoretical proofs has been intentionally limited in order to prioritize the practical aspects of electrical engineering. This text is therefore suitable for a number of introductory circuit courses for other majors such as mechanical, biomedical, aerospace, civil, architecture, petroleum, and industrial engineering. The authors’ primary goal is to teach the aspiring engineering student all fundamental tools needed to understand, analyze and design a wide range of practical circuits and systems. Their secondary goal is to provide a comprehensive reference, for both major and non-major students as well as practicing engineers.
