The Complete Lab Manual for Electricity

Help today’s learners master the hands-on electrical skills they need for professional success with THE COMPLETE LABORATORY MANUAL FOR ELECTRICITY, 4E by best-selling author Stephen Herman. No matter what electrical theory book readers are using, THE COMPLETE LABORATORY MANUAL FOR ELECTRICITY offers the perfect fit with a logical progression of topics; and meaningful, cost-effective experiments. Updated lab activities throughout this edition now incorporate the use of wirewound resistors rather than incandescent lamps to correspond with changing government regulations.
	
Learners explore all aspects of electrical concepts –- from basic electricity through AC theory, transformers, and motor controls - in this single volume. Each lab offers a clear explanation of the circuits to be connected, examples of calculations to complete the exercise, and step-by-step procedures for conducting the experiment. Labs emphasize both the theory and application of electrical concepts as learners construct a multitude of circuits, including series, parallel, combination, RL series and parallel, RC series and parallel, and RLC series and parallel circuits. Trust THE COMPLETE LABORATORY MANUAL FOR ELECTRICITY, 4E as a stand-alone resource or ideal supplement (e.g., to the Delmar Standard Textbook of Electricity) for the hands-on mastery of electrical skills today’s learners need.
