Searching for an Advanced Textbook on Alternating Current

In summary, the conversation is about finding a textbook on alternating current that is not just introductory but covers the subject in an advanced manner using undergraduate level math. The desired book should be focused on physics, not engineering, and should include problems. The conversation also provides a list of potential books that fit these criteria.

As the title implies, I'm looking for a textbook on alternating current (not necessarily containing only about this topic). I'm looking for such a book with the following things in mind:

- Is not just some introductory thing, but a book that treats the subject in an advanced manner using at least undergraduate math.
- Is a physics book, not an engineering one.
- Has problems.

I would be very grateful for suggestions.

FAQ: Searching for an Advanced Textbook on Alternating Current

1. What is alternating current (AC)?

Alternating current is an electrical current that periodically reverses direction. It is commonly used in household appliances and power grids.

2. Why is it important to study alternating current?

Studying alternating current is essential for understanding how electricity works and how it is used in various applications. It is also a fundamental concept in electrical engineering and related fields.

3. What topics should be covered in an advanced textbook on alternating current?

An advanced textbook on alternating current should cover topics such as AC circuits, impedance and reactance, power and energy in AC circuits, AC power generation and transmission, and AC motor principles.

4. Are there any recommended textbooks on alternating current for advanced study?

Some recommended textbooks on alternating current for advanced study include "Electric Circuits" by James W. Nilsson and Susan A. Riedel, "Principles of Electric Machines and Power Electronics" by P.C. Sen, and "Electrical Machines, Drives, and Power Systems" by Theodore Wildi.

5. How can I apply my knowledge of alternating current in real-world situations?

Knowledge of alternating current can be applied in various real-world situations such as designing and troubleshooting electrical systems, working in the energy and power industry, and developing new technologies for renewable energy sources.
