This volume exposes and develops the essential topics for understanding the physical foundations and calculation methods of alternating current circuits. The text is a useful tool for the acquisition of skills necessary for professionals as well as students of Electrical and Electronic Technologies, also representing a preparatory resource for university courses. Specifically, it is composed of the first six chapters of the larger work: "From Alternating Current to the Fourier Transform" and is recommended for those who intend to limit themselves to the study or review of only the aspects relating to the steady state of single-phase alternating current systems. The maximum possible self-sufficiency was one of the guiding elements in the conception of this work, with references and detailed explanations of the most critical aspects of the subject, with the aim of making the reader as autonomous as possible and quickly. Knowledge of the basic concepts relating to direct current networks and the possession of elementary notions of electromagnetism are considered prerequisites for tackling this text, but as regards the topic of alternating currents, as mentioned, the text is substantially self-sufficient. For each chapter there is a certain number of examples and for all there are verification problems. 1 SINUSOIDAL ELECTRICAL QUANTITIES 2 SINUSOIDS, PHASORS AND COMPLEX NUMBERS 3 IMPEDANCE AND REACTANCE 4 ADMITTANCE AND AC NETWORKS 5 RESONANCE 6 ELECTRICAL POWER IN AC SYSTEMS SANDRO RONCA After studying Physics at the University of Padua, he dedicated himself to teaching Electrical and Electronic Technologies and Computer Science at Technical and Technological Institutes, paying attention to the didactic aspects of the subject. He has studied computer networks in depth and designed, at the request of industrial associations, courses for systems engineers and IT security workers.

In its front-page review of Alternating Current, The New York Times Book Review called Octavio Paz “an intellectual literary one-man band” for his ability to write incisively and with dazzling originality about a wide range of subjects. This collection of his essays is divided into three parts. Part 1 sets forth his credo as an artist and poet, steeped in his knowledge of world literature and Mexican art and history and buttressed by readings of writers from Mexican poet Luis Cernuda to D. H. Lawrence, Malcolm Lowry, André Breton, and Carlos Fuentes. Part 2 deals with themes such as Western individualism versus plurality and flux in Eastern philosophy, atheism versus belief, nihilism, liberated man, and versions of paradise. In Part 3, Paz writes of politics and ethics in essays on revolt and revolution, existentialism, Marxism, the third world, and the new face of Latin America. A scintillating thinker and a prescient voice on emerging world culture, Paz reveals himself here as “a man of electrical passions, paradoxical visions, alternating currents of thoughts, and feeling that runs hot but never cold” (Christian Science Monitor).

This book, first published in 1916, provides a guide to the more general mathematical theorems used by electricians in their everyday work.

Part one of the Tesla Presents series, this book contains the transcript of an extended pre-hearing interview with Nikola Tesla in which he chronicals his efforts directed towards the development of an earth-based system for wireless telecommunications. An Appendex section includes the description of a physical plant built for this purpose in 1901 as reported in foreclosure appeal proceedings. 103 photos and line-art illustrations, indexed.
