De Boer,
An Introduction to Electrical Engineering, 2009 Edition


The following errata have been found in the 2009 edition:

Page 14. Figure 9.
In a number of places "DC voltage" is mentioned. This is incorrect. "Direct current voltage" makes no sense. Change the figure as follows.
In the first column (above the illustration of a flashlight). . .
        Change "Steady DC voltage (V)" to "Constant voltage (V)"
        Change "Steady DC current (A)" to "DC, Steady"
In the second column (above the illustration of a battery charger). . .
        Change "Steady DC Voltage (V)" to "Constant voltage (V)
        Change "Pulsating DC current (A)" to "DC, Pulsating
In the third column (above the illustration of a motor). . .
        Change "AC Voltage v(t) = . . ." to Alternating voltage v(t) = . . ."
        Change "AC Current i(t) = . . ." to Alternating current i(t) = . . ."
        Change "AC voltage (V)" to "Alternating voltage (V)"
        Change "AC current (A)" to "Alternating current (A)"
