Foundations of Electronics
(Electron Flow Version)
From Principles of Basic Circuits Through Analysis of Passive and Active Circuit Components

By Russell L. Meade - Fifth Edition

From principles of basic circuits through analysis of passive and active circuit components, Foundations of Electronics is the perfect choice for introducing readers to the world of electronics technology.

Learn basic electronics fundamentals for both DC and AC circuits, from Ohm’s Law through series and parallel resonant circuits! This highly acclaimed introduction to the world of electronics technology has been carefully updated to better provide technicians with a foundation in modern electronics needed to launch a career or pursue more advanced study.

Real-world color codes and strategic highlighting are integrated with ample color charts, photos, schematics, and diagrams for a solid understanding of circuit behavior that equips readers to progress to more complex topics with ease.

This edition features all new, automated calculations for the formulas in the book on the accompanying CD, as well as new information on admittance, susceptance, and more!

Features:

• motivational Preview sections in each chapter inspire readers to want to learn, while in-process learning checks offer opportunities to review key concepts before moving on

• examples and practice problems are provided where they will have the most impact, enabling readers to apply concepts immediately

• unique SIMPLER method teaches important troubleshooting techniques for both “systems-approach” block-diagram-level troubleshooting and “discrete component-level” troubleshooting while developing critical and logical thinking skills

• “Good Ideas,” “Helpful Hints,” and “Practical Notes” features provide built-in training that can be used in the real world

• computer tools, such as Excel examples, MultiSim circuit files, and “Electronics into the Future” interactive tutorials, provide opportunities to solve electronics problems in a variety of ways
