Description
This widely-used text prepares students for entry-level jobs in electronics, electrical trades and related fields. Its level and approach are ideal for both electronics and electricity programs looking for a relatively short, applied book covering DC/AC circuits. Additional chapters on topics such as safety, transformers, motors, instrumentation, and residential wiring are also included. No prior knowledge of electricity is assumed; the only prerequisites are arithmetic and basic algebra. Practical skills are emphasized throughout the text, and supported in the hands-on work provided in the companion Experiments Manual. MultiSim circuit files are provided, on a bound-in CD ROM, for those who want to bring software simulation work into their classes and labs.

Features

Practical, easy-to-understand explanation of DC and AC circuits; students with all math backgrounds will find the book readable and accessible.

Frequent Self-Test questions and worked examples provide students with immediate feedback and step-by-step procedures for learning key concepts and applications.

Students can now learn about new energy sources in Appendix K, Renewable Energy Sources and Technologies

Contains classroom PowerPoint^R presentations for every chapter, EZ-Test Generator, supplemental PowerPointR presentations, and more. PowerPointR presentations have been revised and updated, with video clips added in several places.

Experiments Manual for Electricity: Principles and Applications correlates with the text and helps students gain practical, hands-on experience and troubleshooting skills. MultiSim files are available for those who integrate simulation with their lab experiments.

Popular features such as learning outcomes, highlighted key terms, color-coded circuit components, and About Electronics have been retained and updated.

Concepts build from section-to-section and chapter-to-chapter, with tests at regular intervals and review questions at the end of each chapter.

New To This Edition
Electricity: Principles and Applications has been revised to include more Examples, MultiSim Files for version 11.0, clearer explanations, and more Self-Tests and review questions for your students. The following is a chapter-by-chapter list of major changes to the textbook:

Chapter 1

Expanded the section on “efficiency” to include information on neon light bulbs and LEDs.

Added a new EXAMPLE that examines the efficiency of a complete system (i.e. a battery and light bulb circuit). The new Self-Test question 11, and the answer to question 11 at the end of the chapter, follow up on working with system efficiency.

Added new Self-Test and “Chapter Review” questions and problems.

Chapter 2

Changed the concluding paragraph of the “current in a vacuum” section to emphasize that devices that relied on thermionic emission and current in a vacuum have mostly been replaced by LCDs and solid-state devices.

Added discussion of when to italicize a symbol (abbreviation) used in formulae.

Added more EXAMPLES that show how to use "powers of 10". EXAMPLE 2-9 shows how to express a base 10 number of less than one in the power-of-ten format. EXAMPLE 2-10 shows how to add, subtract, and divide numbers expressed in powers-of-ten. Also added Self-Test question 59 and its answer to give more practice on the procedures shown in the two added examples.

Added new Self-Test and Chapter Review questions and problems.

Added to chapter summary and review.

Chapter 3

Modified the section on Circuit Essentials.

Clarified the discussion calculating power.

Added more Chapter Review questions and problems.

Chapter 4

Added Self-Test and Chapter Review questions.

Added a discussion on testing sealed lead-acid cells.

Added a section on Fuel Cells.

Added to the discussion of LEDs.

Added an EXAMPLE for switch ratings.

Chapter 5

Added new EXAMPLES that:

Require solving a series circuit containing a rheostat.

Require determining the internal resistance of a battery.

Require determining currents in a parallel circuit.

Require determining the currents in a loaded zener-diode regulator circuit.

Extended the discussion of “rules of thumb” for estimating current.

Added material that illustrates the advantage of using the current divider formula.

Added Chapter Review Problems.

Added questions and problems to the Experiments Manual Chapter 5 test.

Chapter 6

Added a new EXAMPLE illustrating the use of simultaneous and loop equations.

Chapter 7

Added a new figure showing flux pattern around a MIG-arc-welder cable carrying 60 A to 120 A.

Replaced three figures with new pictures to better show flux patterns under a variety of conditions.

Added an EXAMPLE showing how to calculate relative permeability.

Added more Chapter Review Problems.

Chapter 8

Added new EXAMPLES in the Three-Phase Alternating Current section.

Added more Chapter Review Problems.

Chapter 9

Added more Chapter Review Problems.

Chapter 10

Expanded the introduction to the chapter to include use of large capacitors for PF correction.

Added EXAMPLES emphasizing C, V, and Q relationships and RC time constants.

Chapter 11

Added an EXAMPLE on calculating the inductance of an inductor.

Expanded the section on “Type of Inductors”.

Added the inductance formula to the “Related Formulas”.

Added more Chapter Review Problems.

Chapter 12

Added EXAMPLES showing how to calculate coefficient of coupling, mutual inductance, and transformer ratings.

Expanded discussion of transformer “Windings in Parallel”.

Added formulas to “Related Formulas”.

Added more Chapter Review Problems.

Chapter 13

Added to the discussion of EXAMPLE 13-5 to show other ways to calculate the cos θ.

Added an EXAMPLE dealing with Z and BW of a series resonant circuit.

Added more Chapter Review Problems.

Chapter 14

Added new EXAMPLES dealing with temperature rating of a motor and the R of a cable connecting to a motor.

Expanded the discussion of reversing rotation of one-phase and three-phase motors.

Added seven new problems to the Chapter Review Problems.

Chapter 15

Expanded the explanation of how a DMM measures current.

Added an EXAMPLE dealing with ratings of meter movements.

Expanded the discussion of sensitivity ratings of ac and dc voltmeters.

Added more problems to the Chapter Review Problems.

Chapter 16

Re-emphasized the color and proper use of the neutral conductor.

Added an EXAMPLE illustrating the current flow in each conductor when a short develops.

Expanded the discussion on AFCI protection.
New Multisim-11 files have been created. The files are located on the CD-ROMs for the textbook and the Experiments Manual, as well as on the Online Learning Center
