Description

Appropriate for DC/AC, DEVICES, DIGITAL Electronics courses in high schools, vocational-technical schools and community colleges.

After 16 textbooks, 26 editions, and 19 years of front-line education experience, best selling author Nigel Cook's new text makes the world of electronics easily accessible in one complete text. Employing his now renowned student-friendly practical approach, this single text provides comprehensive coverage of the three electronics fundamental courses; DC/AC, DEVICES and DIGITAL.


Features

  • Companion Web Site at http://www.prenhall.com/cook—Has an additional bank of questions.

    • Tests students' understanding, and e-mails the score back to the instructor.

  • Extensive First-Section Mini-Math Reviews—Included in their appropriate positions to overview.

    • Tests the student on the math concepts needed for electronics concepts that follow.

  • Introduction to Electronics section before Chapter 1.

    • Overviews the electronics industry, and details the Product Development Process and the responsibilities and requirements of different technician job types.

  • Over 40 Margin Timeline Photographs and vignettes.

    • Highlights key historical milestones by industry entrepreneurs connecting their discoveries to appropriate text topics.

  • End-of-section self-test evaluation points.

    • Contains a list of objectives that should have been met up to that point, and a set of questions designed to test the students level of comprehension.

  • Circuit simulation Icons in the margin.

    • Indicates which of the texts circuits can be simulated using Multi-sim from electronics workbench.

  • Circuit Analysis Tables.

    • Trains the student to collect circuit facts in an easy-to-read table, that enables the student to clearly see the total and individual current, voltage, resistance and power values and relationships.

  • Protoboard Pictorials.

    • Helps the beginning student make the transition from the circuit schematic on paper - to the constructed lab circuit on a protoboard.

  • Actual circuit examples.

    • Helps the student connect a topic to the real world.

  • Extensive component testing, circuit troubleshooting, and test equipment.

    • Prepares the student for the working world.

  • Calculator sequences—Included in all examples.
