Electricity: Theory and Applications

By: Silberstein, Eugene

Electricity: Theory and Applications provides valuable insight into the electrical theories and concepts that form a solid foundation of knowledge, onto which more advanced learning and understanding can be structured. Designed for foundational electrical theory courses in electrical technology, construction, and industrial maintenance programs, the textbook features a clear and simple presentation of concepts and many illustrations. Each chapter of the textbook begins with a Sparking Discussion question that encourages classroom discussion. To emphasize the importance of safety for anyone working on or around electric circuits, systems, and equipment, safety guidelines, safety-related issues, and Safety Alert features are provided throughout the text. The author also addresses the importance of math skills with two chapters dedicated to reinforcing fundamental math concepts required for electrical theory applications. Example features provide step-by-step guidance on utilizing, manipulating, and navigating mathematical expressions, and Now It's Your Turn features allow learners to perform calculations and solve problems on their own. Math Sidebar features provide short refreshers of foundational math concepts at the point of application. Shedding Light features provide advice and guidance that is applicable to on-the-job situations, and Know the Code features point out specific items from typical building codes. End-of-chapter materials include a Summary and three levels of assessments: Measuring Your Potential questions, Plug-In questions, and Making the Connection questions.
