Basic AC Circuits, Second Edition is a step-by-step approach to AC circuit technology for the beginning student, hobbyist, technician, or engineer. The book is built into a series of self-paced, individualized learning goals covering electronics concepts, terms and the mathematics required to fully understand AC circuit problems--simple or complex. Each chapter includes learning objectives, fully-illustrated examples, practice problems and quizzes providing teachers, trainers and students a complete AC technology resource. Basic AC Circuits has been a staple of the electronics educational market since 1981, but in the new edition the author has updated the book to reflect changes in technology, especially the test equipment available today.

Basic AC Circuits has been a keystone for curriculum plans around the country for nearly two decades. This book was originally part of the Texas Instruments series published by Sams Publishing.

Provides a fully-revised introduction to AC circuit technology that includes full examples, practice problems and quizzes to measure learning
Includes the mathematics training for AC circuit design that so many technicians and engineers are missing
Written in an easy-to-read and follow format with many illustrations, examples, and hands-on practice

Industry Reviews

"An excellent reference source for students taking courses in circuit analysis and electric power engineering."
-A. Tryuadlouski, University of Nevada at Reno

This is a detailed book. It utilizes a lot of A.C. circuits analysis techniques.
