Circuit theory is a core course in every Electrical Engineering curriculum, with a wide range of applications to a variety of problems related to electrical systems and subsystems, such as power transmission systems, communication systems, control systems and electronics systems in general.
This book includes a complete and self contained presentation of fundamental concepts, definitions, principles and techniques on Electric Circuits, and has been designed to be an excellent supplementary textbook and help all Electrical Engineering and Technology students to understand in depth, the essentials of the theory involved and develop the insight and the analytical skills needed, in order to pursue studies in more complicated topics in circuits and electrical systems in general.
Topics covered include, Electric Power and Energy, The Basic Elements in Electric Circuits and their respective Ohm’s Law, The Electric Energy Sources and their Mathematical Models, for both Independent and Controlled Sources, The Kirchhoff’s Laws and applications, Equivalent Circuits, Capacitors and Inductors, Transients in simple R-L or R-C circuits.
The content of this book is divided in 10 chapters.
The content of each chapter is shown in the Table of Contents. At the end of the book, we include an Appendix, showing how to solve a first order Differential Equation, Linear with Constant Coefficients. This will help the students to understand the operation of circuits containing ohmic resistors and capacitors or ohmic resistors and inductors. The study of such circuits in general, is described by first order differential equations.
The 65 illustrative solved Examples and the 155 characteristic Problems to be solved are design to help students develop a solid theoretical background, broaden their knowledge and sharpen their analytical skills on the subject.
A brief Hint or detailed outline of the procedure to follow, in solving complicated problems is often given.
Finally answers to odd numbered problems are also given, so that the students can verify the validity of their own solution.
