AC Theory, 3rd Edition

Designed to give your students a thorough introduction to Alternating Current electrical characteristics and circuit construction, AC Theory, 3rd edition explores the complexities of this more advanced circuit theory by building on the basics established in direct current theory. The book begins with an overview of the primary components of AC circuits, such as inductors, resistors and capacitors, and then gradually introduces new, more complicated topics like applying AC principles in generators and power generation, troubleshooting and evaluation of circuit conditions, parallel and combination circuits and more. With the same reader-friendly approach and practical examples that made previous editions so successful. Our updated 3rd edition uses the most current technologies and trends in order to provide the ideal resource for anyone seeking a fundamental knowledge of AC theory. This text is 384 pages.

Features:

• Sidebars offer a true-to-life context for the topics covered through additional references, applications, and highlights of general interest to keep the theory more interesting and applicable.
• "Technical Tips" explain industry practices and trade jargon to develop practical understanding.
• Builds on students' knowledge by following a clear, logical progression from simplest concepts to more advanced principles.

New to this Edition:

• Illustrates key concepts with enhanced 3-dimensional images.
• Updated, dynamic art to further clarify written examples.
• Makes powerful connections between practice and theory with the addition of new real-world examples.
