The following are known errors in the first edition of the text: If you find others please notify the authors by e-mail at r.doering@ieee.org page iv Acquisitions editor: page 5 Figure 1.3 Caption ... and providing expert advice on agricultural and other questions. page 28 Section 7.3, second paragraph, replace 60 times a second with 30 times a second. The final answer is 9,216,000 bits/s. page 48 assistan should be assistant page 118 Mr. Lun should be Mr. Tsai. (also fix index entry) page 122 Problem 8 should say 30 times per second. page 135 Replace last paragraph on page with: In our water model of a resistor, if we increase the water pressure across it, the flow rate will increase (but not necessarily proportionately -- water flow in pipes is fairly complicated) If we increase the resistance by making the pipe much narrower, it should be obvious that the water flow rate will be reduced. page 146 Exercise 21.1 The voltage should be 120 volts rms. page 174 Figure 22.14 the units for Base current I sub B should be microamperes. page 215 Figures 27.14 & 27.15 lower Q's are missing their bars. page 220 In Figure 27.19, the lower input on the bottom NAND gate should connect to the Q2 line instead of the Q2-bar line. page 270 Homework problem 81 part c. -the values given for R1 and R2 are interchanged. Part d. (answer is printed) page 275 Figure 93 Vertical axis legend units should be Amps not mA. page 287 Replace first paragraph on page with: Yes. The electrons in a wire collide frequently with the atoms in the wire and so don't develop significant kinetic energy. (The student ventured that this might be analogous to flow in a water pipe separated into tiny channels. In contrast, the six-inch diamater pipes that supply water to fire hydrants may burst if a hydrant valve is closed suddently, because of the momentum built up by the flowing water.)
