Electricity and Electronics: A Survey (5th Edition)

Patrick and Fardo's introductory survey explores electricity and electronics using a highly accessible “systems” approach to enhance understanding of basic concepts. The Fifth Edition is divided into two sections—one touching the basics of electricity, the other an overview of electronics—both featuring several new content additions that reflect the most recent developments in the field. This volume presents an introduction to the basics of electricity and electronics, electrical components and circuits, magnetism and electromagnetism, electrical energy sources and conversion, electrical instruments, electronic diodes and power supplies, transistors, amplification, oscillators, communication systems, digital electronic systems and electronic power control. For individuals interested in an introduction to electricity and electronics.
