Electrical Engineering: Principles and Applications

by Allan R. Hambley

The author's guiding philosophy in writing this book has three elements: to present basic concepts to readers in a general setting, to show how the principles of electrical engineering apply to specific problems in their own fields, and to remove frustration from the learning process. Emphasizing the basic concepts of the field, this book covers circuit analysis, digital systems, electronics, and electromechanics. This book develops theoretical and experimental skills and experiences in the following areas: basic circuit analysis and measurement, first- and second-order transients, steady-state ac circuits, resonance and frequency response, digital logic circuits, microcontrollers (68HC11), computer-based instrumentation, diode circuits, electronic amplifiers, field-effect and bipolar junction transistors, operational amplifiers, ac and dc machines, and more. For engineers or any other professionals who need a solid foundation in the basics of circuits, digital systems, analog electronics, and electromechanics.

hardly any solutions to the practice problems and you have to go online to access them. has a nice minimalistic design tho

An awful book but a good didactic opportunity.

This book is a manifestation of the failure of education systems to inspire creativity and passion in students. It commits the mortal sin of "black boxing" everything and asking students to simply "plug and chug." Its explicit goal is to enable students to pass their engineering exams, so instead of offering understanding, it instead focuses on rote problem solving.

If your goal is weasel your way into a job that you hate and are unqualified for, buy this book, barely pass your exams, and in twenty years, look back on your miserable life and wonder what's wrong with the world.

If your goals include understanding, inventing and creating, or pursuing your passion, buy something else.

This book is an insult to humanity.

it's ok

Very dry and straightforward textbook (aren't they all?) that is dense with equations and graphs. Helpful for looking up areas you are having trouble with, but not good for learning from.

This is the only textbook I've actually read for a STEM class. It's alright, my prof was better at explaining things than the book is, but hey, at least I actually cracked it open and read a few chapters!
