AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking recommendations for a new electrical engineering book, specifically looking for resources that cover BJT circuits, operational amplifiers, and diodes. They found Sedra and Smith's style unsatisfactory and are looking for alternatives. One suggested book is "Electronic Principles" by Albert Malvino, noted for its simplicity and ease of understanding, making it suitable for beginners. The recommender emphasizes that even experienced engineers find value in the foundational concepts presented in the book. The discussion highlights the importance of accessible resources for both new and seasoned electrical engineering students.

Hi all,

I am currently looking for a new book on electrical engineering. I was recently reading Sedra and Smith but was not 100% keen on the style.

Could anyone recommend something to similar level : I require BJT circuit, Operational amplifiers (Schmitt Triggers, Active Filters) and Diodes mainly.

Does anyone have a book they could not live without?

Thanks very much :)

If you need an introduction book on BJT, OP-AMP, very simple and easy understanding:

https://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Principles-Albert-Malvino/dp/0028028333/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333344811&sr=8-1

I started my career with this book and gone a long way. But it is quite easy, maybe too easy for you if you are in upper division. But I still use what I learn when I do design. Put it this way, the used ones are cheap. I actually ordered one, but I order the experiment manual by mistake and have not re-ordered yet.
 

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
