Principles of Electricity
Electrical theory has been burdened with several systems of units. In 1901, it was suggested by Prof. Giorgi, an Italian scientist, that the confusion caused by these different systems could be eliminated by the adoption of the metre, the kilogramme and the second as the units of length, mass and time respectively and the adoption of one of the practical units, such as the ampere, as a fourth fundamental unit. This metre kilogtramme second (M.K.S.) system in its rationalized form was adopted unanimously by the International Electrotechnical Commission in 1950, and in April 1952, theCouncil of the Institution of Electrical engineers recommended that this system should be employed by authors in papers submitted to the Institution and that all students of electrical engineering should become conversant with its use. The rationalized M.K.S. system has, therefore, been adopted in this volume and apart from the conversion table given on p. 383, no reference has been made to theC.G.S. electromagnetic and electrostatic systems.rnThe symbol and nomenclature are in accordance with the recommendations of the British Standards Institution and the Institution of Electrical Engineers, and for the convenience of students, the symbols and abbreviations used in this book have been tabulated on pp. xi-xiv.rnThe text contains 83 worked examples and 4.35 problems. Most of the latter have been taken from examination papers, and fro permission to publish these questions.rnIn this new edition, as well as some updating on units, the changes are an extension of the coverage of semiconductors and an introduction to electronic systems. This has resulted in the chapteron semiconductors being increased in length to cover field effect transistors and integrated circuits and a new chapter added on electronic systems. This is a basic consideration of amplifiers as systems, feedback amplifiers and logic systems. The system approach seems to be now particularly relevant in view of the increasing use made of integrated circuits.rnThe fifith edition of this well established, standrad text presents comprehensive and up to date coverage of the electrical principles required by technical students. It is essential reading for students on vocational courses such as BTEC National Certificates or Diploma in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Telecommunications and other related subjects, and has also been highly recommendedfor first year undergraduates.rnTo maintain the up to date coverage the chapter on semiconductors has been expanded to include field effect transistors and integrated circuits. A new chapter on electronic systems has been included dealing with the principles of amplifiers systems, equivalent circuits, operational amplifiers and logic gates. The systems approach taken in this new material reflects the increasing use of integrated circuits.rnConcise, well presented and supported by examples, this revised edition of principles of electricity is the ideal companion for technician and undergraduate students alike.rn
