Summary: "A fully comprehensive text for courses in electrical principles, circuit theory, and electrical technology, providing 800 worked examples and over 1,000 further problems for students to work through at their own pace. This book is ideal for students studying engineering for the first time as part of BTEC National and other pre-degree vocational courses, as well as Higher Nationals, Foundation Degrees and first year undergraduate modules.Colour layout helps navigation and highlights key learning points, formulae and exercises. Containing 800 worked problems, 1,000 further problems, 175 exercises and 14 revision tests with answers. online Real-world situations and engineering examples put theory into context. Now in its fifth edition, this best-selling textbook has been updated with developments in key areas such as semiconductors, transistors, and fuel cells, along with brand new material on ABCD parameters and Fourier's Analysis. Greater emphasis is placed on real-world situations in order to ensure the reader can relate the theory to actual engineering practice. "--
