This edition is updated to include: A discussion on precision, accuracy, and degree of certainty has been added to the Introduction. New sections introduce the reader to component testing and fault symptoms in series circuits, parallel circuits, and op-amp circuits.Added or expanded coverage of many components and circuits, including rheostats, MOVs, thermistors, photoconductive cells, relays, solenoids, capacitor equivalent series resistance (ESR), filter phase shift, active filter operation, and relaxation oscillators.
