DESCRIPTION:
From reviews:"This is a great book because the author is taking basic theory and providing the reader with some good intuitive tools to gain a foothold on how components work. Spend so much time in early circuits classes just trying to figure out currents, gains and voltages that all I could do was the math (the trees). I enjoyed the clarity in the writing and the informal style. I recommend this book highly, if you are new to electronics.". I was having trouble grasping concepts in some of the more formal books on EE, which made it sound more like magic than science. I purchased this book in order to get a better understanding of the EE basics. This book helped me un
The author builds a genuine understanding of the fundamentals and shows how they can be applied to a range of engineering problems. It is written in a down-to-earth style and explains jargon, technical terms and schematics as they arise. This third edition includes more real-world examples and a glossary of formulae. Sections on tools and troubleshooting give engineers deeper understanding and the know-how to create and maintain their own electronic design projects. It contains new coverage of:MicrocontrollersFPGAsClasses of componentsMemory (RAM, ROM, etc.)Surface mountHigh speed designBoard layoutAdvanced digital electronics (e.g. Unlike other books that simply describe electronics and provide step-by-step build instructions, EE101 delves into how and why electricity and electronics work, giving the reader the tools to take their electronics education to the next level. Updated content throughout and new material on the latest technological advances.Provides readers with an invaluable set of tools and references that they can use in their everyday work.. Electrical Engineering 101 covers the basic theory and practice of electronics, starting by answering the question "What is electricity?" It goes on to explain the fundamental principles and components, relating them constantly to real-world examples. processors)Transistor circuits and circuit designOp-amp and logic circuitsUse of test equipmentGives readers a simple explanation of complex concepts,
The goal of this book is to help the reader gain an intuition about electrical engineering. Electrical Engineering 101 surprised me. The author, rather than beset the reader with a fact after fact, takes the approach of teaching you how to intuit information about electrical engineering by presenting, in a top down fashion, the most important things to think about when designing circuits. For example, the author emphasizes the importance of Ohm's Law illustrating why it is so important with several examples. In addition, the author likens the basic aspects of circuits: current, voltage, capacitors, resistors and inductors to their analogous counterparts in physics, for example he likens resistors to frictio. "Book Contains Numerous Engineering Errors" according to T. Jolly. NOTE; This review was for the second printing. The third printing has fixed about half the errors, and deleted some of the others, but there are still many there, as I just thumbed through the sample pages to check. The (-t/tau) formulas have been removed, and the 1/Rt corrected. The bad formulas for Book Contains Numerous Engineering Errors NOTE; This review was for the second printing. The third printing has fixed about half the errors, and deleted some of the others, but there are still many there, as I just thumbed through the sample pages to check. The (-t/tau) formulas have been removed, and the 1/Rt corrected. The bad formulas for 3 resistors/inductors in parallel are still there, along with the defective Thevinized circuit, explained below.I actually can't believe this book made it to a second printing. Many of the engineering formulas are incorrect. In Chapter 2, I counted no less than 8 incorrectly stated equations; if you aren't familiar with . resistors/inductors in parallel are still there, along with the defective Thevinized circuit, explained below.I actually can't believe this book made it to a second printing.

"Too basic for any engineer and too vague for a beginner" according to Ssound. I though this was going to be a collection of tips and tricks that are not usually being told at engineering school, it is not, this book could easily be named electrical engineering for dummies as its a review of electricity and electronics explained in layman's terms. Its entertaining to read but its a bit pricey for what it actually is.
