Synopsis

This is the only book on the market that has been conceived and deliberately written as a one-semester text on basic electric circuit theory. As such, this book employs a novel approach to the exposition of the material in which phasors and ac steady-state analysis are introduced at the beginning. This allows one to use phasors in the discussion of transients excited by ac sources, which makes the presentation of transients more comprehensive and meaningful. Furthermore, the machinery of phasors paves the road to the introduction of transfer functions, which are then used in the analysis of transients and the discussion of Bode plots and filters. Another salient feature of the text is the consolidation into one chapter of the material concerned with dependent sources and operational amplifiers. Dependent sources are introduced as linear models for transistors on the basis of small signal analysis. In the text, PSpice simulations are prominently featured to reinforce the basic material and understanding of circuit analysis.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Most textbooks on Basic Circuit Theory are designed for two-semester sequences. Basic Electric Circuit Theory is unique in that it presents key information through a novel approach designed for a one-semester course.

. Phasors and AC steady stare are introduced
early, allowing for use of phasors in the
discussion of transients excited by AC sources,
making for a more comprehensive and meaningful
presentation.

. Early presentation of phasors paves the road

and filters.

. Critical material concerning dependent sources
and amplifiers are consolidated into one
chapter. Dependent sources are introduced as
linear models for transistors on the basis of
small signal analysis.

. MicroSim PSpice simulations are featured
throughout the presentation to reinforce the
basic material and understanding of circuit

About the Author:

Prof. Mayergoyz received his Master and Ph.D. degrees in the former Soviet Union where he worked as a senior research scientist in the Institute of Cybernetics of Ukranian Academy of Sciences before his emigration to the United States. On his arrival to the United States in 1980, he became a full professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of University of Maryland, College Park. He served as a consultant for many years for the Research and Development Center of General Electric Company and has been selected as a visiting research fellow of this center. He has published more than 300 scientific papers and patents as well as eight scientific books. He has been recognized by many awards at the University of Maryland and at the Magnetics Society of IEEE. He is a recognized authority in magnetics which is the area of this book.
