In this book John Bird introduces electrical principles and technology through examples rather than theory - enabling students to develop a sound understanding of the principles needed by technicians in fields such as electrical engineering, electronics and telecommunications. Over 600 problems and 400 worked examples are included. This new edition of Electrical and Electronic Principles and Technology is fully in line with the new 2000 GNVQ specifications from Edexcel and City & Guilds, covering optional units for Advanced GNVQ: Electrical and Electronic Principles, Further Electrical and Electronic Principles, and Electrical Power Technology.

The wide range of syllabuses covered reflects the fact that this book is a leading international text on this important area of study for student technicians and engineers.
