Electric Circuit I (EET 140/3)

includes laboratory manuals at end of each chapter to enable hands-on practice n an ideal text for university students or for any professionals wishing to gain a good understanding of electric circuits Contents: Basic concepts of electric circuits. Basic laws of electric circuits. Series-parallel resistive circuits. Methods of DC circuit analysis. The network theorems. Capacitors and inductors. Transient analysis of circuits (first-order circuits). Fundamentals of AC circuits. Methods of AC circuit analysis. RLC circuits and resonance. Mutual inductance and transformers. Circuits with dependent sources

An Electronic circuit is a closed path formed by the interconnection of electronic components through which an electric current can flow. The electronic circuits may be physically constructed using any number of methods. Breadboards, perfboards or stripboards are common for testing new designs. Mass-produced circuits are typically built using a printed circuit board (PCB) that is used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components. Electronic circuits can display highly complex behaviors, even though they are governed by the same laws of physics as simpler circuits. It will be useful not only to graduate students of physics, but to students of related disciplines like Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. With such a wide audience in mind, it includes in the opening chapter a presentation of the basic notions of Electric Circuits and Transformers. The book contains a number of appendices that will be of interest to the relatively advanced students as well as to specialists.
