Understanding DC Circuits covers the first half of a basic electronic circuits theory course, integrating theory and laboratory practice into a single text. Several key features in each unit make this an excellent teaching tool: objectives, key terms, self-tests, lab experiments, and a unit exam. Understanding DC Circuits is designed with the electronics beginner and student in mind. The authors use a practical approach, exposing the reader to the systems that are built with DC circuits, making it easy for beginners to master even complex concepts in electronics while gradually building their knowledge base of both theory and applications. Each chapter includes easy-to-read text accompanied by clear and concise graphics fully explaining each concept before moving onto the next. The authors have provided section quizzes and chapter tests so the readers can monitor their progress and review any sections before moving onto the next chapter. Each chapter also includes several electronics experiments, allowing the reader to build small circuits and low-cost projects for the added bonus of hands-on experience in DC electronics. Understanding DC Circuits fully covers dozens of topics including energy and matter; static electricity; electrical current; conductors; insulators; voltage; resistance; schematic diagrams and symbols; wiring diagrams; block diagrams; batteries; tools and equipment; test and measurement; series circuits; parallel circuits; magnetism; electromagnetism; inductance; capacitance; soldering techniques; circuit troubleshooting; basic electrical safety; plus much more. Integrates theory and lab experiments Contains course and learning objectives and self-quizzes Heavily illustrated

This study guide is designed for students taking courses in electrical circuit analysis. The book includes examples, questions, and exercises that will help electrical engineering students to review and sharpen their knowledge of the subject and enhance their performance in the classroom. Offering detailed solutions, multiple methods for solving problems, and clear explanations of concepts, this hands-on guide will improve student’s problem-solving skills and basic understanding of the topics covered in electric circuit analysis courses.

Buku ini terdiri dari enam bab, secara berurutan buku ini akan membahas pertama tentang pengenalan berbagai komponen dalam rangkaian listrik, konsep arus dan tegangan, rangkaian seri paralel, hukum dasar rangkaian listrik sampai metode analisa rangkaian listrik. Buku ini ditulis dalam bahasa Inggris untuk membantu mahasiswa di kelas internasional pada khususnya dan semua yang ingin lebih mendalami tentang aplikasi rangkaian listrik dari dasar. Pengaplikasian teknologi elektro mengalami perkembangan yang pesat dalam beberapa tahun belakangan, utamanya salah satunya yang berkaitan dengan renewable energy. Penerapan teknologi yang pesat dan sudah canggih ini tetap tidak akan terlepas dari hukum dasar pada kerja rangkaian listrik, di mana ada dua yaitu Hukum Ohm dan Hukum Kirchoff yang diperlukan dalam menganalisa suatu rangkaian listrik. Rangkaian listrik merupakan materi yang memerlukan dasar matematika yang kuat, karena hampir semua berhubungan dengan perhitungan matematis mulai dari perhitungan yang sederhana hingga yang rumit. Rangkaian Listrik 1 hanya mempelajari komponen-komponen dan perhitungannya yang berhubungan dengan sumber DC. Sedangkan sumber dengan tegangan AC dipelajari dalam Rangkaian Listrik 2. Perbedaan yang mendasar dari keduanya hanya pada domain DC dan AC, karena domain AC memerlukan bilangan kompleks dalam perhitungannya.

An essential resource for both students and teachers alike, this DC Electrical Circuits Workbook contains over 500 problems spread across seven chapters. Each chapter begins with an overview of the relevant theory and includes exercises focused on specific kinds of circuit problems such as Analysis, Design, Challenge and Computer Simulation. An Appendix offers the answers to the odd-numbered Analysis and Design exercises. Chapter topics include fundamental for current, voltage, energy, power and resistor color code; series, parallel, and series-parallel resistive circuits using either voltage or current sources; analysis techniques such as superposition, source conversions, mesh analysis, nodal analysis, Thévenin's and Norton's theorems, and delta-wye conversions; plus dependent sources, and an introduction to capacitors and inductors. RL and RC circuits are included for DC initial and steady state response along with transient response. This is the print version of the on-line OER.

This book is intended as a major support for the DC Electric Circuits course from the Electrical Engineering program and the Automation Engineering program at Universidad de La Salle. Its main contribution is to provide the students with a step-by-step explanation and detailed illustrations about the main concepts and analysis techniques of DC electric circuits and their related measurement systems.

Whatever the field of human activity-domestic or scientific, work or leisure-it is likely that some knowledge of the behaviour of electrical circuits is required to keep the processes moving, the wheels turning. In many cases, a knowledge of Ohm's law may suffice. In others, an understanding of more complex relationships may be necessary. In this book an attempt is made to provide, in a concise manner, an introduction to the main methods of treating electrical networks, whether they be carrying direct (de) or alternating (ac) electrical currents. Clearly, the range of possible circuits is vast so that the simplifications which are demonstrated in the pages that follow are of great importance to the student. However, to gain the fullest benefit from such a concise presentation, the student must devote some time to the exercises which are provided in Appendix B. The units used throughout the book are those of the International System (or SI). The various quantities which are introduced-such as current and potential and resistance-are summarized in Appendix A together with the symbols used to represent them, the unit associated with each quantity and the formula used to derive that unit from four fundamental or MKSA units.

Featuring a total of 15 experiments, this laboratory manual fully addresses the field of DC electrical circuit analysis. It begins with an introduction to a standard electrical laboratory and progresses through basic measurements of voltage and current to series, parallel and series-parallel resistive circuit configurations. More advanced topics include the superposition technique for multi-source circuits, nodal analysis, mesh analysis, Thévenin's Theorem, maximum power transfer, and an introduction to capacitors and inductors. Each experiment includes a theory overview, electrical component parts list and test equipment inventory. Most exercises may be completed with just a digital multimeter and a dual output DC power supply. This is the print version of the on-line OER.
