Electrical and Electronic Principles

Further Electrical and Electronic Principles is a core text for pre-degree courses, and foundation courses. It provides the underpinning knowledge needed by electrical and electronic engineers and technicians across a wide range of specialisations. The text uses analogies and clear, logical methodology to encourage students to develop an analytical approach to problem-solving and written work. This book builds on the companion title Fundamental Electrical and Electronic Principles, assuming prior study to core unit level of Advanced VCE (GNVQ) / BTEC National.

Clear explanatory text is supported throughout with problems (answers provided) and worked examples. New sections of Supplementary Worked Examples, added in response to feedback from colleges.

This book is an ideal text for a wide range of pre-degree courses including NVQs at levels 3 and 4. The second edition has been matched to the latest specifications for higher level option units within BTEC National (2001/2 draft specifications), and Advanced VCE (GNVQ) Engineering (Curriculum 2000) and includes two new chapters on Analysis of Small-signal Transistor Amplifiers and Operational Amplifiers. It is also suitable for first courses at degree level, including HNC / HND.

First edition published by Arnold as Electrical and Electronic Principles, volume 2.
