Compact but comprehensive, this textbook presents the essential
concepts of electronic circuit theory. As well as covering
classical linear theory involving resistance, capacitance and
inductance it treats practical nonlinear circuits containing
components such as operational amplifiers, Zener diodes and
exponential diodes. The book's straightforward approach highlights
the similarity between the equations describing direct current
(DC), alternating current (AC) and small-signal nonlinear
behaviour, thus making the analysis of these circuits easier to
comprehend.
Introductory Circuits explains:
the laws and analysis of DC circuits including those containing
controlled sources;
AC circuits, focusing on complex currents and voltages, and with
extension to frequency domain performance;
opamp circuits, including their use in amplifiers and
switches;
change behaviour within circuits, whether intentional
(small-signal performance) or caused by unwanted changes in
components.
In addition to worked examples within the text a number of
problems for student solution are provided at the end of each
chapter, ranging in difficulty from the simple to the more
challenging. Most solutions for these problems are provided in the
book, while others can be found on the accompanying website.
Introductory Circuits is designed for first year undergraduate
mechanical, biomedical, materials, chemical and civil engineering
students who are taking short electrical engineering courses and
find other texts on the subject too content-heavy for their needs.
With its clear structure and consistent treatment of resistive,
reactive and small-signal operation, this volume is also a
greatsupporting text for mainstream electrical engineering
students.
