AC Theory, 3rd Edition

The 3rd edition of AC Theory contains invaluable information designed to provide your students with a thorough introduction to Alternating Current electrical characteristics and circuit construction. The book provides detailed coverage of advanced circuit theory by building on the basics established in direct current theory, and contains an overview of the primary components of AC circuits, such as resistors, inductors, and capacitors. Information in the book also gradually introduces new, more complicated topics like applying AC principles in power generation and generators, parallel and combination circuits, troubleshooting and evaluation of circuit conditions, and more. Information is presented in a reader-friendly approach, and practical examples are also used. Updates and revisions to the content include coverage of the most current technologies and trends. 384 pp.
