Bird's Electrical Principles and Technology Summary

Bird's Electrical Principles and Technology by John O. Bird

This is a definitive text for all students studying electrical and electronics engineering, from technician level to the early years of a degree course. By providing a basic grounding in the subject alongside more advanced topics, Bird has produced a book which should be accessible to all university students, including many whose A Levels have given them little background in this field. It should also be useful to HNC/D students looking for a single, comprehensive textbook. John Bird has followed his usual formula, incorporating many worked examples and problems (answers supplied) into the learning process.

Table of Contents

Part 1 Basic electrical engineering principles: units associated with electrical quantities; an introduction to electric circuits; resistance variation; chemical effects of electricity; series and parallel networks; capacitors and capacitance; magnetic circuits; electromagnetism; electromagnetic induction; electrical instruments and measurements. Part 2 Electrical principles and circuit theory: DC circuit theorems; alternating voltages and currents; single-phase series AC circuits; single-phase parallel AC circuits; DC transients. Part 3 Technology: three-phase systems; transformers, DC machines; three-phase induction motors. Part 4 Advanced electrical principles, circuit theory and technology: complex numbers; application of complex numbers to series AC circuits; application of complex numbers to parallel AC networks; power in AC circuits; AC bridge; series and parallel resonance and Q-factor; introduction to network analysis; Thevenin's and Norton's theorems; delta-star and star-delta transformations; maximum power transfer theorems; complex waveforms; magnetic and dielectric materials; field theory; attenuators; transmission lines; mutual inductance; Fourier series; AC transients; Laplace transforms; fequency response of networks; two-port networks.
