Extracted from the highly successful Foundations of Electrical Engineering by the same author, this book designed for a non-major, one-semester course with coverage of electric circuits, introduces concepts and vocabulary that are defined clearly and accurately, key unifying ideas in electric circuits are identified with icons in the margins, and problem solving techniques are presented in the many examples. The book presents basic circuit analysis techniques, first and second-order transient analysis, AC circuit theory, transient and steady state circuit analysis based on complex numbers, and an introduction to electric power systems. The presentation assumes knowledge of basic physics and calculus and is ideal for electrical engineering students with one course in circuits. Used with Foundations of Electronics, this book is ideal for a one-semester course in circuits and electronics for physics, engineering, or computer science students. FEATURES/BENEFITS Emphasis is placed on clear definitions of concepts and vocabulary. Problems are offered at three levels: "What if" problems extending examples in the text, with answers; "Check our understanding" problems after each major section, with answers, and extensive end-of-chapter problems identified with chapter sections, with answers for odd problems. Full pedagogical tools: chapter objectives, marginal aids, chapter summaries, chapter glossaries tied to context, and a complete index.

This text is for use on the introductory circuit analysis or circuit theory course which is taught in electrical engineering departments. It includes pedagogical aids which reinforce the concepts learned so that students can become familiar with the methods of analysis presented.

Circuit theory, one of the most important tools of the electrical engineer, can be derived with approximations from Maxwell's equations although the two are often taught independently. This book treats these topics as a single subject and presents the key results from circuit analysis using the ideas of classical electromagnetism.

Extracted from the highly successful Foundations of Electrical Engineering by the same author, this book surveys the fundamental concepts of electronics for non-majors. The first chapter reviews circuit analysis techniques as related to the analysis of electronic circuits, and the remainder of the book covers electronic devices, digital circuits, analog circuits, instrumentation systems, communication systems, and linear system theory based on complex frequency techniques. The presentation assumes knowledge of basic physics and calculus and is ideal for a one-semester survey of electronics for students knowing circuit theory. Used with Foundations of Electric Circuits, this book is ideal for a one-semester course in circuits and electronics for physics, engineering, or computer science students.

Aims to present circuit analysis in an easier to understand manner. Here, students are introduced to the six-step problem-solving methodology, and are consistently made to apply and practice these steps in practice problems and homework problems, using the KCIDE for Circuits software.

This book presents the subject matter in a clear and concise manner with numerous diagrams and examples

Provides detailed, clear explanations of the fundamentals of electrical engineering, keeping readers focused on the basics. Maintains a strong emphasis on vocabulary throughout, encouraging further thought and communication based on chapter discussions. This book carefully explores the unifying themes of Electrical Engineering, maintaining a low level of detail and abstract theory. Topics include: Electric Power Systems, The Physical Basis of Electromechanics, Magnetic Structures and Electrical Transformers, The Synchronous Machine, Induction Motors, Direct-Current Motors, Power Electronic Systems.

This book is designed to help readers obtain a thorough understanding of the basic principles of electric circuits. It provides a practical coverage of electric circuits (DC/AC) and an introduction to electronic devices that technician-level readers can readily understand. Well-illustrated and clearly written, the book contains a full-color layout that enhances visual interest and ease of use. This acclaimed book covers all the basics of DC and AC circuits. Safety tips, key terms, and a comprehensive set of appendices are included. An important reference tool for service shop technicians, industrial manufacturing technicians, laboratory technicians, field service technicians, engineering assistants and associate engineers, technical writers, and those in technical sales.

This book is designed as an introductory course for undergraduate students, in Electrical and Electronic, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Chemical and Petroleum engineering, who need fundamental knowledge of electrical circuits. Worked out examples have been presented after discussing each theory. Practice problems have also been included to enrich the learning experience of the students and professionals. PSpice and Multisim software packages have been included for simulation of different electrical circuit parameters. A number of exercise problems have been included in the book to aid faculty members.
