Synopsis

This time-honored text, now in its fifth edition, continues to offer comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of DC/AC electronics in a style that is both easy to read and easy to understand. Appropriate for use in any DC/AC Circuits course and for some Electronic Devices courses, it provides the solid foundation so necessary for a clear understanding of the field of electronics as a whole.

This finely-tuned, carefully tested, and accuracy checked volume is organized into four sections:

Part I: The Fundamentals of Electricity Part II: Direct-Current Electronics Part III: Alternating-Current Electronics Part IV: Semiconductor Devices and Circuits

Having written 12 textbooks and 20 editions, and with 17 years of front-line education experience, best-selling author Nigel Cook has produced yet another outstanding text in this fifth edition, once again making the world of electronics come vividly alive. The reader will quickly be put at ease by the student-friendly writing style and the author's ability to make traditionally difficult topics easily accessible.

Introductory DC/AC Electronics, Fifth Edition, is accompanied by a full ancillary package, including:

About this title

From the Publisher

Following up on the overwhelming sucess of the second edtion, Nigel Cook takes his best-selling electronics textbook into the forefront of teaching and learning with a new third edition. From basic electricity, direct current and alternating current circuits, through semiconductor devices and op amps, Cook's down-to-earth approach makes the world of electronics come vividly alive. The book builds upon the highly praised "practical learning approach" with; historical success stories, guided examples, actual circuit applications, device testing, circuit troubleshooting, performance based objectives, quick-references summary sheets, integrated mini-math reviews, and much more, making all of the topics student friendly. This fine-tuned, carefully tested and accuracy checked volume meets the needs of those beginning their training or expanding their career skills in electronics today. This version of Cook's DC/AC text, combines the first 18 chapters of Introductory DC/AC Circuits, 3/E with 5 additional chapters of devices coverage. The book is intended for use in DC/AC courses and may also be appropriate for Devices electronics courses.

From the Back Cover

This reader-friendly introduction to DC/AC circuits uses a "practical learning approach" filled with historical success stories, guided step-by-step examples, actual circuit applications, device testing, circuit troubleshooting, performance based objectives, quick-references summary sheets, and integrated mini-math reviews. A free time-locked complete CD-ROM version of Electronics Workbench is included along with 150 pre-built circuits taken directly from the book. Covers topics from basic electricity, direct current and alternating current circuits, through semiconductor devices and op amps. Considers new technology topics (e.g., how to solder and desolder surface mount components (SMCs), the hand-held scopemeter). Covers component testing, circuit troubleshooting, and test equipment operation, to prepare readers for the working world. Features a 16-page color career opportunity photographic essay that details the development of electronic products and describes career opportunities. For those beginning their training or expanding their career skills in electronics.
