Electrical-engineering and electronic-engineering students have
frequently to resolve and simplify quite complex circuits in order to
understand them or to obtain numerical results and a sound knowledge of
basic circuit theory is therefore essential. The author is very much in
favour of tutorials and the solving of problems as a method of
education. Experience shows that many engineering students encounter
difficulties when they first apply their theoretical knowledge to
practical problems. Over a period of about twenty years the author has
collected a large number of problems on electric circuits while giving
lectures to students attending the first two post-intermediate years of
Uni- versity engineering courses. The purpose of this book is to present
these problems (a total of 365) together with many solutions (some
problems, with answers, given at the end of each Chapter, are left as
student exercises) in the hope that they will prove of value to other
teachers and students. Solutions are separated from the problems so that
they will not be seen by accident. The answer is given at the end of
each problem, however, for convenience. Parts of the book are based on
the author's previous work Electrical Engineering Problems with
Solutions which was published in 1954.
