Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering (Oxford Series in Electrical and Computer Engineering)

By Leonard S. Bobrow and Bobrow

Book Overview

For the first course in electrical engineering, this text is more than just a survey of the basics of electrical engineering. Even at this introductory level, Bobrow covers most of the material in sufficient detail for students to gain a good understanding of the fundamental principles on which modern electrical engineering is based. The text is partitioned into four parts: circuits, electronics, digital systems, and electromechanics. The circuits portion includes the traditional circuits topics, such as Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, resistive analysis techniques, various circuit theorems and principles, time-domain and frequency-domain analysis procedures, power, three-phase circuits, resonance, frequency response, and elementary system concepts. The electronics portion deals with both theory and applications of the major semiconductor devices: diodes and transistors in both discrete and integrated-circuit (IC) form. In the digital systems portion, basic digital logic elements and logic design in both discrete and IC forms are covered. Sequential, as well as combinational logic, is covered. The electromechanics portion covers topics such as magnetic circuits, magnetic induction, and transformers on an elementary level. Each chapter ends with a problem set, with selected answers available at the back of the book.

Customer Reviews

Better than average, but not the only book for the EE.

Decent introduction for anyone with a basic understanding of electronics. The text starts off with fundamental rules, ohm's law, kcl, kvl, etc. There is a really nice explanation of how diodes and transistors work on the electron level. Some very good information is here for anyone who would like to know HOW something actually works. This book, however, falters when applying techniques to real world situations. But this is a book of the fundamentals of EE. It won't be the only EE book on my shelf, but it has it's place.
