Applied Electronics introduces electronics through practical work, with descriptive text, maths and theory kept to a working minimum. The result is a truly student-centred book that is ideal for a wide range of vocational courses. No previous background in electronics is assumed, and the topic coverage is designed to meet the needs of the majority of pre-degree level courses.

The second edition has been updated and expanded throughout with new material including further coverage of logic circuits and a new chapter on testing digital circuits.


Coverage has been fully matched to the requirements of the Electronics unit of the new BTEC National Engineering specifications, the recently launched BTEC National in Telecommunications, and the Engineering AVCE.

The practical approach and accessible text also makes this book ideal for City & Guilds courses such as Electrical and Electronics Servicing, Intermediate GNVQ and BTEC First.
