Further Electrical and Electronic Principles,

Further Electrical and Electronic Principles is a core text for pre-degree courses in electrical and electronic engineering courses. The coverage of this new edition has been brought in line with the specialist unit 'Further Electrical Principles' of the 2007 BTEC National Engineering specification from Edexcel. More advanced material has also been included, making this text also suitable for HNC/HND and foundation degree courses. Each chapter starts with learning outcomes tied to the syllabus. All theory is explained in detail and backed up with numerous worked examples. Students can test their understanding with end of chapter assignment questions for which answers are provided. The book also includes suggested practical assignments and handy summaries of equations. In this new edition, the layout has been improved and colour has been added. The textbook is supported with a free companion website featuring: * Supplementary worked examples * Additional chapters on control principles; BJT / UJT / JUGFET / MOSFET; analysis of small-signal transistor amplifiers * Full coverage of unit 'Further Electrical Principles' of the 2007 BTEC National Engineering specification * Easy-to-understand, colour text with lots of worked examples that reinforce the theory covered * Free companion website with additional worked examples and chapters
