There are many 'Electric Circuits' books on the market but this unique
Understandable Electric Circuits book provides an understandable and
effective introduction to the fundamentals of DC/AC circuits. It covers
current, voltage, power, resistors, capacitors, inductors, impedance,
admittance, dependent/independent sources, the basic circuit laws/rules
(Ohm's law, KVL/KCL, voltage/current divider rules), series/parallel and
wye/ delta circuits, methods of DC/AC analysis (branch current and
mesh/node analysis), the network theorems (superposition,
Thevenin's/Norton's theorems, maximum power transfer, Millman's and
substitution theorems), transient analysis, RLC circuits and resonance,
mutual inductance, transformers, and more.
This book presents material in a clear and easy-to-understand manner.
All important concepts, rules and formulas are highlighted after the
explanation and are also summarised at the end of each chapter, making
it easy to locate important facts and to study more effectively. The
laboratory experiments at the end of each chapter are convenient for
doing hands-on practice. These will motivate readers to master the
circuit theory, especially college and university students or
self-learners in this field.
The English version of this book continues in the spirit of its
successful Chinese version, which was published by Higher Education
Press (the largest and most prominent publisher of educational books in
China) in 2005 and reprinted in 2009.
