Description

Discover the fundamental direct current (DC) principles and applications, as well as the theories that underlie those principles – all in an effort to build a strong foundation in electrical technology! Written with the student electrician in mind, DC Theory, 3rd Edition, uses a reader-friendly approach and begins with the basics of electricity and DC circuits, including how properties of materials are categorized within conductors, semiconductors, and insulators. Coverage gradually progresses to tackle more complex topics, like DC parallel circuits, DC combination circuits, magnetism and generators. With an emphasis on safety throughout, this book provides a valuable combination of both information and safe practice, providing students with the skills and knowledge necessary for future success in the electrical field.

Features:

Links theory to practice through Field Notes, which offer added insight and practical tips for the beginning electrical worker or student electrician.
Reinforces critical concepts with chapter objectives and review questions.
Engages students with practice problems throughout the book, encouraging both critical thinking and the application of key concepts to the world of work.

From the Introduction
Welcome to the third edition of DC Theory, which has been redesigned and updated to provide knowledge of the fundamentals to electrical technologists in apprenticeship programs, vocational-technical schools and colleges, and community colleges. The text emphasizes a solid foundation of classroom theory supported by on-the-job hands-on practice. Every project, every piece of knowledge, and every new task will be based on the experience and information acquired as each technician progresses through his or her career. This book, along with the others in this series, contains a significant portion of the material that will form the basis for success in an electrical career.

This text was developed by blending up-to-date practice with long-lived theories in an effort to help technicians learn how to better perform on the job. It is written at a level that invites further discussion beyond its pages while clearly and succinctly answering the questions of how and why. Improvements to this edition were made possible by the continued commitment by the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC) in partnership with Delmar Cengage Learning to deliver the very finest in training materials for the electrical profession.

For excellence in your electrical and telecommunications curriculum, look no further. The NJATC has been the source for superior electrical training for thousands of qualified men and women for over 65 years. Curriculum improvements are constant as the NJATC strives to continuously enhance the support it provides to its apprentices, journeymen, and instructors in over 285 training programs nationwide.
