Introduction
The chapters follow a sequence that I consider to be a logicalprogression through the subject matter, and in the main, follow the order of objectives stated in the BTEC unit of Electrical and Electronic Principles. The major exception to this is that the topics of instrumentation and measurements do not appear in a specifi c chapter of that title. Instead, the various instruments and measurement methods are integrated within those chapters where the relevant theory is covered. Occasionally a word or phrase will appear in bold blue type, and close by will be a box with a blue background. These emphasised words or phrases may be ones that are not familiar to students, and within the box will be an explanation of the words used in the text. Throughout the book, Worked Examples appear as Q questions in bold type, followed by A answers. In all chapters, Assignment Questions are provided for students to solve. The fi rst chapter deals with the basic concepts of electricity; the use of standard form and its
adaptation to scientifi c notation; SI and derived units; and the plotting of graphs. This chapter is intended to provide a means of ensuring that all students on a given course start with the same background knowledge. Also included in this chapter are notes regarding communication. In particular, emphasis is placed on logical and thorough presentation of information, etc. in the solution of Assignment Questions and Practical Assignment reports.
