This book covers the
basic theory of electrical circuits, describes analog and digital
instrumentation, and applies modern methods to evaluate uncertainties in electrical
measurements. It is comprehensive in scope and is designed specifically to meet
the needs of students in physics and electrical engineering who are attending
laboratory classes in electrical measurements. The topics addressed in
individual chapters include the analysis of continuous current circuits;
sources of measurement uncertainty and their combined effect; direct current
measurements; analysis of alternating current circuits; special circuits
including resonant circuits, frequency filters and  impedance matching
networks; alternating current measurements; analog and digital oscilloscopes;
non-sinusoidal waveforms and circuit excitation by pulses; distributed
parameter components and transmission lines. Each chapter is equipped with a
number of problems. A special appendix
describes a series of nine experiments, in each case providing a plan of action
for students and guidance for tutors to assist in the preparation and
illustration of the experiment.
