Electronic Devices and Circuits

This book provides a systematic and thorough exposition of electronic devices and circuits. The various principles are explained in detail and the interconnections between different concepts are suitably highlighted. The book begins by explaining the transition from physics to electronic devices and highlights the linkages between the two. A detailed treatment of semiconductor devices and circuits is then presented, followed by a comprehensive discussion of bipolar junction transistor (bjt). The next two chapters focus on field effect transistor (fet). Power devices and cathode ray oscilloscope are then explained.? the book includes a large number of solved examples to illustrate the concepts and techniques discussed. Review questions, unsolved problems with answers and objective questions are included throughout the book. The book would serve as an excellent text for both degree and diploma students of electrical, electronics, computer and instrumentation engineering. Amie candidates would also find it extremely useful. About the author: p. John paul has been teaching in various engineering colleges since 1986.
