Over the years, electronic technology - especially digital - has transformed our world. This title helps you to: understand Ohm's Law, magnetism, insulators, and conductors; review circuit diagrams and principles of parallel circuits; examine electromagnetic induction, capacitance, and resistance; and, explore fiber optics, LED, and laser.
Answers at your fingertips

Over the past hundred years, electronic technology--especially digital--has transformed our world. If you're in the electrical trade or studying to be, there's a lot to learn and even more to keep up with. You need a directory of the basics, with chapter summaries, common symbols and abbreviations, a glossary, and more--one that's both study guide and ready reference. Here it is.
* Understand Ohm's Law, magnetism, insulators, and conductors
* Review circuit diagrams and principles of parallel circuits
* Examine electromagnetic induction, capacitance, and resistance
* Explore fiber optics, LED, laser, and radio wave technologies
* Delve into digital electronics, including logic circuits and binary code
* Learn information vital to maintaining and repairing audio systems and televisions
* Enhance your knowledge of computer electronics

Paul Rosenberg is a leading voice in the electrical industry. A master electrician, he is an instructor at Iowa State University and has written for many major industry publications. He is the author of several Audel electrical guides, including Audel Electrician's Pocket Manual, 2nd Edition.
