Electronics: Principles and Applications, 10e, requires no prior knowledge of electrical theory and principles. This text has been written at a level that allows students with limited math and reading skills to gain a clear understanding, and provides the entry-level knowledge and skills for a wide range of occupations within electricity and electronics. The text also offers a wildly popular Experiments Manual.

Electronics: Principles and Applications, 10e, introduces analog devices, circuits, and systems. It also presents various digital techniques that are now commonly used in what was once considered the sole domain of analog electronics. It is intended for students who have a basic understanding of Ohm’s law; Kirchhoff’s laws; power; schematic diagrams; and basic components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors. The digital material is self-contained and will not pose a problem for those students who have not completed a course in digital electronics. The only mathematics prerequisite is a command of basic algebra.

The major objective of this text is to provide entry-level knowledge and skills for a wide range of occupations in electricity and electronics. Its purpose is to assist in the education and preparation of technicians who can effectively diagnose, repair, verify, install, and upgrade electronic circuits and systems. It also provides a solid and practical foundation in analog electronic concepts, device theory, and modern digital solutions for those who may need or want to go on to more advanced study. The tenth edition, like the earlier ones, combines theory and applications in a logical, evenly paced sequence. It is important that a student’s first exposure to electronic devices and circuits be based on a smooth integration of theory and practice. This approach helps the student develop an understanding of how devices such as diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits function and how they are used in practice. Then the understanding of these functions can be applied to the solution of practical problems such as performance analysis and troubleshooting. This is an extremely practical text. The devices, circuits, and applications are typical of those used in all phases of electronics. Reference is made to common aids such as Internet sites, component identification systems, and substitution guides, and real-world troubleshooting techniques are applied whenever appropriate. The information, theory, and calculations presented are the same as those used by practicing technicians. The formulas presented are immediately applied in examples that make sense and relate to the kinds of calculations actually made by technical workers.

The 16 chapters progress from an introduction to the broad field of electronics through solid-state theory, transistors, and the concepts of gain, amplifiers, oscillators, electronic communications and data transfer, integrated circuits, control circuitry, regulated power supplies, and digital signal processing. As an example of the practicality of the text, an entire chapter is devoted to troubleshooting circuits and systems. In other chapters, entire sections are devoted to this vital topic. Since the last edition, the electronics industry has continued its march toward more digital and mixed-signal applications to replace what used to be purely analog functions. The distinction between analog and digital continues to blur. This is the only text of its kind that addresses this issue.
