Description

Electricity 1: Devices, Circuits and Materials 9th Edition is designed to give readers the "building blocks" of electricity concepts. The sequence of topics and practical applications in this book will provide 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!

Electricity 1: Devices, Circuits and Materials 9th Edition follows the same user-friendly approach that made previous editions so effective, while incorporating updates based on the 2008 National Electrical Code. Featuring current industry terminology, photographs of commonly used electrical equipment, and sample problems with solutions, this is 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.

From the Preface
The ninth edition of Electricity 1 has been updated to reflect current materials and techniques in electrical applications, while maintaining the features that have made the text so popular through previous editions. Summary statements may be found at the end of each unit, and several new problems have been included in the Achievement Review sections.

Electricity 1 helps the student achieve a basic understanding of electrical theory and its application to devices, circuits, and materials. The knowledge obtained by a study of this text permits the student to progress to further study. The development and the study of the subject of electricity are continuing processes. The electrical industry constantly introduces new and improved devices and materials, which in turn often lead to changes in installation techniques. Electrical codes undergo periodic revisions to upgrade safety and quality in electrical installations.

The text is easy to read and the topics are presented in a logical sequence. The problems provided in the text require the use of simple algebra for their solutions. The student is advised that electron movement (from negative to positive) is used in this text to define current direction.

Each unit begins with objectives to alert students to the learning that is expected as a result of studying the unit. An Achievement Review at the end of each unit tests student understanding to determine if the objectives have been met. Following selected groups of units (Units 1-9, Units 11-14, and Units 16-19), a summary review unit contains additional questions and problems to test student comprehension of a block of information. This combination of reviews is essential to the learning process required by this text.

All students of electricity will find this text useful, especially those in electrical apprenticeship programs, trade and technical schools, and various occupational programs.

It is recommended that the most recent edition of the National Electrical Code (published by the National. Fire Protection Association) be available for reference as the student uses Electricity 1. Applicable state and local regulations should also be consulted when making actual installations.

Features of the ninth edition include:

Sample solutions in several units.
Challenging problems in the achievement reviews.
Numerous new problems for student practice.
Currency with the most recent edition of the National Electrical Code.
Up-to-date content based upon suggestions from teachers.
Summary statements in all units.
