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

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.

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.

The book, now in its Second Edition, presents the concepts of electrical circuits with easy-to-understand approach based on classroom experience of the authors. It deals with the fundamentals of electric circuits, their components and the mathematical tools used to represent and analyze electrical circuits. This text guides students to analyze and build simple electric circuits. The presentation is very simple to facilitate self-study to the students. A better way to understand the various aspects of electrical circuits is to solve many problems. Keeping this in mind, a large number of solved and unsolved problems have been included. The chapters are arranged logically in a proper sequence so that successive topics build upon earlier topics. Each chapter is supported with necessary illustrations. It serves as a textbook for undergraduate engineering students of multiple disciplines for a course on 'circuit theory' or 'electrical circuit analysis' offered by major technical universities across the country. SALIENT FEATURES: Difficult topics such as transients, network theorems, two-port networks are presented in a simple manner with numerous examples. Short questions with answers are provided at the end of every chapter to help the students to understand the basic laws and theorems. Annotations are given at appropriate places to ensure that the students get the gist of the subject matter clearly. NEW TO THE SECOND EDITION: Incorporates several new solved examples for better understanding of the subject Includes objective type questions with answers at the end of the chapters Provides an appendix on 'Laplace Transforms'.

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

Electric power engineering has always been an integral part of electrical engineering education. Providing a unique alternative to existing books on the market, this text presents a concise and rigorous exposition of the main fundamentals of electric power engineering. Contained in a single volume, the materials can be used to teach three separate courses — electrical machines, power systems and power electronics, which are in the mainstream of the electrical engineering curriculum of most universities worldwide. The book also highlights an in-depth review of electric and magnetic circuit theory with emphasis on the topics which are most relevant to electric power engineering.

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.
