A practical guide that helps students and engineers apply core principles of alternating currents to real problems, with worked examples and handy data.
Examples in Alternating-Currents, Vol. I is a study aid for those pursuing engineering and related courses. It emphasizes guidance through problem solving, the use of calculus in engineering, and the value of checking results against practice. The book includes numerous worked examples, tables of values, and clear explanations designed for classroom and independent study.
Readers will find concrete methods for calculating inductance, impedance, and related quantities, along with actual coil dimensions, voltages, currents, and frequencies. The text aims to bridge theory and practical engineering, stressing that theory and practice should reinforce each other.
- Step-by-step problem solving that ties formulas to real circuit parameters
- Tables of values and constants to speed calculations in class and on the job
- Discussion of when inductance varies with material and current
- Guidance on verifying results and choosing appropriate methods
Ideal for students of electrical and mechanical engineering, and for practitioners seeking a solid, calculation-focused reference.
