A concise and original presentation of the fundamentals for 'new to
the subject' electrical engineers
This book has been written for students on electrical engineering
courses who don't necessarily possess prior knowledge of electrical
circuits. Based on the author's own teaching experience, it covers the
analysis of simple electrical circuits consisting of a few essential
components using fundamental and well-known methods and techniques.
Although the above content has been included in other circuit analysis
books, this one aims at teaching young engineers not only from
electrical and electronics engineering, but also from other areas, such
as mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, mining engineering,
and chemical engineering, with unique pedagogical features such as a
puzzle-like approach and negative-case examples (such as the unique
"When Things Go Wrong..." section at the end of each chapter). Believing
that the traditional texts in this area can be overwhelming for
beginners, the author approaches his subject by providing numerous
examples for the student to solve and practice before learning more
complicated components and circuits. These exercises and problems will
provide instructors with in-class activities and tutorials, thus
establishing this book as the perfect complement to the more traditional
texts.
- All examples and problems contain detailed analysis of various
circuits, and are solved using a 'recipe' approach, providing a code
that motivates students to decode and apply to real-life engineering
scenarios
- Covers the basic topics of resistors, voltage and current sources,
capacitors and inductors, Ohm's and Kirchhoff's Laws, nodal and mesh
analysis, black-box approach, and Thevenin/Norton equivalent circuits
for both DC and AC cases in transient and steady states
- Aims to stimulate interest and discussion in the basics, before moving
on to more modern circuits with higher-level components
- Includes more than 130 solved examples and 120 detailed exercises with
supplementary solutions
- Accompanying website to provide supplementary materials
