Experiencing Electricity and Electronics

This text, appropriate for courses in DC/AC circuits and basic electricity and circuit analysis, incorporate extensive coverage of magnetism that contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between magnetic and electric fields, thorough discussions of components such as fuses, batteries and capacitators, and contains an extensive discussion of series and parallel resonance and their applications to prepare students for later courses in analog communications. This edition features a special focus on Thomas Edison: biographical information, photographs, and inventions and experiments relevant to chapter content to inspire students to learn more about this pioneer in electricity. Also important is the chapter on advanced AC circuit analysis. A flexible, modular design incorporates the most recent material on DC, direct current, and AC, alternating current, circuits, while innovative pedagogy offers students unique learning tools.
