AC / DC Principles
Learn How to Apply The Basic Laws and Analysis Techniques in AC and DC Circuits

By Paul T. Shultz

AC/DC Principles teaches how to apply basic laws and analysis techniques to introductory circuits as well as actual AC and DC circuit applications. Ohm's law Kirchoff's law, Thevenin's theorem, and Norton's theorem are also applied to basic circuits. Mathematics is applied at algebraic and trigonometric levels and all mathematical formulas are followed by step-by-step example problems.

The text includes an introduction to concepts of electricity, network analysis techniques, vector diagrams and phase relationships, and concludes with chapters on resonance, three-phase alternating current, transformers, and alternating current motors.

The CD-ROM included with the text contains Quick Quizzes™, and Illustrated Glossary, Math Formulas, Media Clips, and Reference Material.
