This book is written for the 6,000 BTEC National Engineering students who follow the electrical pathway each year. The course has a brand new syllabus for 2010 and Electrical and Electronic Principles and Technology has been fully updated to reflect these changes. In this 4th edition, John Bird introduces electrical principles and technology through examples rather than theory covering - enabling level three students to develop a sound understanding of the principles needed for careers in electrical engineering, electronics and telecommunications. The book includes numerous worked problems, multiple-choice and short-answer questions, exercises and revision tests and is supported with free online instructor's and solutions manuals. Matched to the latest 2010 BTEC Engineering syllabus Student-friendly approach with numerous worked problems, multiple-choice and short-answer questions, exercises and revision tests In colour and supported with free online instructor's and solutions manuals
The aim of this book is to introduce students to the basic electrical and electronic principles needed by technicians in fields such as electrical engineering, electronics and telecommunications.
