Foundation Electrical Engineering
The publisher, Prentice-Hall ECS Professional The express aim of the book is to prepare students for a full degree course in Electrical Engineering or Physics. No prior knowledge of electricity and only the barest knowledge of mathematics is necessary to use the book. The coverage begins by introducing electric charge as something that explains the experimental results of rubbing materials with a piece of cloth. Next, the idea of electric charge in motion is introduced, followed by the notion of electricity. After introducing resistance and its effects on a circuit, increasingly sophisticated concepts and methods are introduced -- such as Kirchhof's laws, Thevenin's laws, the beginnings of Electromagnetism, capacitance effects and alternating current. The book is rounded off by an elementary introduction to semiconductor theory and a discussion of diodes and transistors.

Reader Reviews foundation electrical engineering is an excellent introduction for the novice, assuming little prior knowledge it's clear and concise narrative slips easily into an understanding of a sometimes difficult subject. with working examples and a explanation of the more technical terms it is a easy introduction for all foundation year students.
