[PDF] Electrical and Electronic Principles and Technology by John Bird

Electrical and Electronic Principles and Technology, third Version introduces the ideas which describe the operation of d.c. and a.c. circuits, overlaying each regular and transient states, and applies these ideas to filter networks, operational amplifiers, three-phase provides, transformers, d.c. machines and three-phase induction motors. New matters included on this version are an entire replace on semiconductor diodes and transistors, and further materials on batteries, gas cells and different and renewable energies, relative and absolute voltages, self and mutual inductance, digital take a look at and measuring devices.

As well as, purposes in all areas are expanded and emphasised and some new additional issues added. A brand new function of this third version is {that a} free Web obtain (lecturers solely) is out there of a pattern of options (some 400) of the 530 additional issues contained within the guide — see under. One other new function is a free Web obtain (obtainable for lecturers solely) of all 517 illustrations contained within the textual content — see under. 

Part 1, comprising chapters 1 to 12, entails important Fundamental Electrical and Electronic Engineering Principles, with chapters on electrical models and portions, introduction to electrical circuits, resistance variation, batteries and different sources of power, sequence and parallel networks, capacitors and capacitance, magnetic circuits, electromagnetism, electromagnetic induction, electrical measuring devices and measurements, semiconductor diodes and transistors. The textual content is ready out in three important sections: 

Part 2, comprising chapters 13 to 19, entails Additional Electrical and Electronic Principles, with chapters on d.c. circuit theorems, alternating voltages and currents, single-phase sequence and parallel networks, filter networks, d.c. Transients and operational amplifiers. 

Part 3, comprising chapters 20 to 23, entails Electrical Energy Technology, with chapters on three-phase techniques, transformers, d.c. Machines and three-phase induction motors. Every matter thought of within the textual content is offered in an approach that assumes within the reader little earlier data of that matter. The concept is launched in every chapter by a fairly transient define of important info, definitions, formulae, procedures, and many others. The speculation is stored to a minimal, for drawback fixing is extensively used to ascertain and exemplify the speculation. It’s supposed that readers will acquire actual understanding by seeing issues solved and then by fixing comparable issues themselves.

Electrical and Electronic Principles and Technology, third Version incorporates 400 labored issues and 340 multi-choice questions (with solutions behind the guide). Additionally included are over 450 brief reply questions, the solutions for which could be decided from the previous materials in that individual chapter, and some 530 additional questions, organized in 145 Workout routines, all with solutions, in brackets, instantly following every query; the Workout routines seem at common intervals — each 3 or 4 pages — all through the textual content.

I’m very grateful to Mike Tooley for his assist in updating chapters on Semiconductor diodes, Transistors, and Measuring devices and measurements. An inventory of related formulae is included on the finish of every of the three sections of the guide. ‘Studying by Instance’ is on the third Version’s coronary heart of Electrical and Electronic Principles and Technology.Over 500 line diagrams are additionally improve the understanding of the speculation. All the issues — multi-choice, brief reply and additional questions — mirror sensible electrical and digital engineering conditions. At standard intervals all through the textual content are seven Revision Exams to verify understanding. For instance, Revision Check 1 covers materials in chapters 1 to 4, Revision Check 2 covers the fabric in chapters 5 to 7, and so on. These Revision Exams would not have solutions given since it’s envisaged that lecturers/instructors might set the Exams for college students to aim as a part of their course construction. Lecturers/instructors might acquire a free Web obtain of full options of the Revision Exams in an Teacher’s Guide — see under.

Book 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.
