Circuit Analysis I book pdf

Preface of Circuit Analysis-I

This text is an introduction to the basic principles of electrical engineering. It is the outgrowth of lecture notes prepared by this author while employed by the electrical engineering and computer engineering departments as adjunct instructor at various colleges and universities. Many of the examples and problems are based on the author’s industrial experience.

The text is an expansion of our previous publication, Circuit Analysis I with MATLAB® Applications, ISBN 9780 970951120, and this text, in addition to MATLAB scripts for problem solution, includes several Simulink® and SimPowerSystems® models. The pages where these models appear are indicated n the Table of Contents.

The book is intended for students of college grade, both community colleges and universities. It presumes knowledge of first year differential and integral calculus and physics. While some knowledge of differential equations would be helpful, it is not absolutely necessary. Chapters 9 and 10 include stepbystep procedures for the solutions of simple differential equations used in the derivation of the natural and forces responses. Appendices D and E provide a thorough review of complex numbers and matrices respectively.

In addition to several problems provided at the end of each chapter, this text includes multiple-choice questions to test and enhance the reader’s knowledge of this subject. Moreover, the answers to these questions and detailed solutions of all problems are provided at the end of each chapter. The rationale is to encourage the reader to solve all problems and check his effort for correct solutions and appropriate steps in obtaining the correct solution. And since this text was written to serve as a selfstudy, primary, or supplementary textbook, it provides the reader with a resource to test the reader’s knowledge.
