Fundamental Electrical and Electronic Principles covers the essential principles that form the foundations for electrical and electronic engineering courses. This new edition is extensively updated with a greater focus on electronic principles, evenly balanced with electrical principles. Fuller coverage is given to active electronics, with the additional topics of diodes and transistors, and core topics such as oscilloscopes now reflect state-of-the-art technology.

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.

The main objective of this book is to introduce the reader to the fascinating world of electricity on the one hand and electronics on the other, while providing a meaningful description and analysis of various electrical and electronic systems. Furthermore, it also provides insight and basic knowledge related to recent developments in the field of electricity and electronics. To gain the necessary understanding, this book first covers fundamentals such as resistors and D.C. circuits. Afterwards, capacitors and inductors are covered, and electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields are discussed. The second part of this book focuses on semiconductor technology with the basic components of diodes and transistors. Also alternating quantities, D.C. machines and D.C. transients are discussed.

The book forms an excellent core work for beginning further education students with some mathematics background preparing for careers as technicians, and an introductory text for first-year undergraduate students in all engineering disciplines.
