Overview

This book deals exhaustively with electrical and electronic circuit processes. Most textbooks neither describe accurately nor precisely the mechanism of the processes in the operation of electrical and electronic circuits. Common misconceptions that are dispelled in this book include: the electric field inside a metal is always zero (even when the system is not in static equilibrium) drifting electrons push each other through a wire just as water molecules push each other through a pipe (despite charge neutrality inside the metal) there cannot be any potential difference across an open switch because V = IR, and there is n Io electrons travel at the speed of light in wires a circuit requires two separate wires for operation The contents provide an accurate explanation of these fundamental electric and magnetic processes. Every case is dealt with so that an electrical and electronic engineer will understand the physical and applied aspects at the first level before he/she studies topics of electromagnetic field theory and electrical circuits or networks. Electrostatics and electric circuits belong to one science and the contents of the book are vital to bridge the gap that present curricula have created between them. Based on latest research findings that unify the two concepts, using vivid multiple image illustrations, students are guided through the topics on the mechanism of conduction, operation of capacitive and inductive circuits subject to steady and alternating voltages; operation of motors, generators, microphones and loudspeakers and p-n junctions. The chapters combine text with several illustrative figures and derivations of formulae. The animated power point slides (included in the accompanying CD) cover every principle to help readers visualize circuit processes.
