Synopsis

The mathematical foundation and the practical application of circuit theory in this book should be of use to electrical and electronics technicians. It provides comprehensive coverage of circuit analysis topics, including fundamentals of DC and AC circuits, methods of analysis, capacitance, inductance, magnetism, simple transients, and computer methods. Hundreds of worked out examples lead the user through the critical thinking processes required to solve problems. Two popular computer simulation packages are used in the book. A CD-ROM is included, and a Web site devoted to this book is a source of both additional current information and updates in electronics engineering technology.
