Knowledge of fundamentals is critical to the
success of a modern electrical technician, and this book explores direct
current (DC) principles and methods as well as the underlying theories
and concepts needed for a strong foundation in electrical technology.
Readers are introduced to the fundamentals of electricity and DC
circuits, including how properties of materials are categorized into
conductors, semiconductors, and insulators. In-depth coverage of Ohm's
law and its relation to voltage, current, resistance, and power is
presented, followed by the theory and practical applications of
electrical components connected in series. Later chapters examine DC
parallel circuits, DC combination circuits, magnetism and generators,
and DC circuit analysis tools that electricians will find invaluable in
analyzing and understanding more complex circuits likely to be
encountered on the job. Although based on DC circuits, the information
supplied in this book will apply to alternating current (AC) circuits as
well. This book contains much of the material that forms the foundation
of electrical knowledge.
Features:
logically organized into six parts, with each progressing in a rational,
well-paced schedule allowing readers to become familiar with one set of
principles before moving on to more advanced topics
covers aspects of electrical theory including molecules, ions,
electrolytes, and a variety of other principles that will provide an
excellent foundation for practical electrical work
includes must-know mathematical and algebraic operations fundamental to
the day-to-day work of the electrician
