Devices, Circuits and Materials

Eighth Edition
Thomas Kubala

The sequence of topics and practical applications encompassed in this book will provide readers with a solid foundation in electron theory and movement, direct-current series circuits, parallel circuits, series-parallel circuits, voltage line drops, rotating machinery fundamentals, and more!

The Eighth Edition has been updated to the 2005 National Electrical Code® and features current industry terminology, contemporary photographs of commonly used electrical equipment, and updated circuit diagrams throughout.

Sample problems and solutions in each unit help to solidify an understanding of electrical principles, making this an ideal choice for a first course in basic electricity, house wiring, or commercial installations.

Features:

• a reader-friendly orientation to electrical principles is supplemented with detailed diagrams for visually-enhanced learning
• 'real-world' coverage includes modern applications of power installations, various types of electrical conductors and wire sizes, and present-day electrical devices and materials
• current troubleshooting methods are explored to help develop critical-thinking skills
• problems and solutions at the end of each unit help readers assess their understanding of essential concepts while helping to identify topics requiring further review
