Handbook of Electronics Formulas and Calculations - Volume 2

by Newton C. Braga

Overview

Some years ago I had written a book directed to anyone who designs electronic and electric circuits. Engineers, technicians, teachers, students and hobbyists took a real benefit from that book. The original book is now out of print, being available only used issues. Since the book is very useful, the author decided to review the old edition, add new content and so create a new book for anyone who need a fast access to formulas, tables and calculations when designing his projects or solving a problem. The author, who has himself designed multitudes of projects and circuits during his life, publishing many books and hundreds of articles in electronics magazines and teaching electronics, has collected an assortment of all basic information necessary for calculations needed when designing new projects or solving a problem. More part of these formulas and calculations is now in the author´s site. The site also has versions in Portuguese and in Spanish. In the site the reader will also find practical examples in projects or articles where many of the formulas shown in this book are used. When starting a project or solving a problem the main difficulty the designer or student founds is how to locate the desired information. This information is normally spread over a large number of resources, such as books, handbooks, Internet, and magazine articles. Although many of us who are experienced in electronics have in mind the principal formulas, we sometimes have trouble with the forgotten constant, multiplication factor or exponent. Finding these values is sometimes difficult depending of the circumstances, such as where you are at the time, or the amount of resources at your disposal.

About the Author

Mr. Newton C. Braga was born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1946. His activities in Electronics began when he was only 13 years old, at which time he started writing articles for Brazilian magazines. At age 18, he had his own column in the Brazilian edition of Popular Electronics, where he introduced the concept of 'Electronics for youngsters'. In 1976, he became Technical Director of the most important Electronics magazine in South America, Revista Saber Eletronica (published in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and other South America countries). He has also been the director of other magazines published by the same company, including Eletrônica Total and became the Technical Consultant for the magazines Mecatrônica Fácil, Mecatrônica Atual and PC & CIA. Mr. Braga has published over 150 books about Electronics, Mechatronics, Computers, Electricity and Science Fairs, as well as thousand of articles and Electronics/ Mechatronics/ Science Projects in magazines worldwide (US, France, Spain, Japan, Portugal, Mexico, Russia, China, etc.). Many of his books have been recommended at schools and universities around the world and even translated to other languages, with sales of over 3 million copies all over the world. The Mr. Braga currently teaches Mechatronics and Physics and is engaged in educational projects in his home country, Brazil. These projects include the introduction of Technology (Electronics, Mechatronics, Bionics, Computer Sciences, etc) in high schools, as well as the professional training of workers and teachers who need enhanced knowledge in the fields of Electronics, Mechatronics and Technology. The author now lives in Guarulhos (near São Paulo). Of course, Mr. Braga also write new books and articles for this site, recovering and upgrading thousand of them, writen along his long carrer as technical writer.
