Detailed Description





DC/AC Circuits & Electronics, Principles & Applications











Description:



The first in Delmar Learnings Herrick & Jacob
Series, six tightly integrated electronics engineering technology texts,
DC/AC Circuits and Electronics: Principles & Applications teaches readers
how to apply basic laws and analysis techniques to traditional introductory
circuits, as well as popular, real-world DC and AC circuits. Central to this
book is its ability to engage readers who are new to the study of
electronics in interesting and useful concepts from the start, guiding them
in their efforts to learn how to develop and apply fundamental laws.
Throughout the book, only those circuit theorems and analysis techniques
that are practical and typically used in real-world circuit analysis are
addressed. In addition, Kirchhoffs Current Law, Kirchhoffs Voltage Law and
Ohm's Law are introduced in separate, stand-alone chapters to ensure that
the reader has a complete understanding of each law before attempting to
apply all or part to traditional series and parallel circuits. Level and
rigor make this book an ideal choice for use in programs accredited by the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). In addition, the
same circuits presented in DC/AC Circuits and Electronics: Principles &
Applications also appear in subsequent books in this series, encouraging
readers to enlarge the envelope of performance and revisit techniques as
they gain increasingly sophisticated knowledge of circuit theories and
operations.



Features:





attention-grabbing
analog electronic circuits that use diodes, LEDs, BJTs, MOSFETs, and Op Amps
improve retention rates by enabling novices to forge connections between
principles and analysis techniques discussed in the book and real-world
applications




a fundamental
circuits approach provides a straightforward and highly effective means of
visualizing electronics circuit analysis, offering a natural progression into
analog electronics




MultiSIM
simulations appear at strategic points in the book, reinforcing circuit concepts
while enabling readers to better understand the theory underlying complex
circuit operations




lab exercises keep
the focus on fundamental circuit analysis techniques, enabling readers to
develop practical circuit building and measurement skills




answers to
odd-numbered problems are included to instill confidence, while even-numbered
problems without target results offer opportunities to "test" understanding




mathematics is
primarily at the algebraic level to aid in building fundamental skills and allow
readers to focus more heavily on the electronics principles at work




CD includes
MultiSIM simulations and Textbook Editions of MultiSIM
