Electricity and Electronics

by Howard H. Gerrish, William E. Dugger Jr., Richard M. Roberts

Electricity & Electronics  provides comprehensive coverage of basic concepts and applications in the study of electronics and electrical technology using easy-to-understand language, ideal for students with little or no background in electricity and electronics. Topics include series circuits, parallel circuits, combination circuits, DC and AC motors, transformers, inductance, capacitance, transistors, amplifiers, generators, power distribution systems, radio communications, and advanced systems. A chapter covering careers and entrepreneurship make learning relevant to students exploring or preparing for careers in this field, and the Applied E&E features provide an in-depth look at real-world technologies related to principles discussed in the chapters.  A focus on current applications engages students in industry and provides a relevant link between theory and practice. Safety content has been enhanced to include a new section on electrical hazards and details about the six-step Lockout Tagout procedure. The text correlates to the Student Electronics Technician (SET) Certification offered by ETA International, as well as Electronics I Certification offered by YouScience®.

Read everything front & back 4 times 🤪 I practically memorized it

It's a good text. I teach a night class in industrial electricity at the local community college and this is the text we use. I find that it does a good job teaching the basics to students who have had no previous electrical experience. I think of it more as a reference than a "read cover to cover" book.
