Designed to give readers the building blocks of electricity concepts, the sequence of topics and practical applications in this book will provide a solid foundation in electron theory and movement, direct-current series circuits, parallel circuits, series-parallel circuits, voltage line drops, rotating machinery fundamentals, and more! Electricity 1: Devices, Circuits and Materials, 9th Edition follows the same user-friendly approach that made previous editions so effective, while incorporating updates based on the 2008 National Electrical Coder. Featuring current industry terminology, photographs of commonly used electrical equipment, and sample problems with solutions, this is an ideal choice for a first course in basic electricity, house wiring, or commercial installations.
Benefits:
a reader-friendly orientation to electrical principles is supplemented with detailed diagrams for visually-enhanced learning
real-world coverage includes modern applications of power installations, various types of electrical conductors and wire sizes, and present-day electrical devices and materials
current troubleshooting methods are explored to help develop critical-thinking skills
problems and solutions at the end of each unit help readers assess their understanding of essential concepts while helping to identify topics requiring further review
