An explanation of electricity and how it works includes information on electrical currents, circuits, and generators.

Now readers can master the fundamentals of electric circuits with Kang’s ELECTRIC CIRCUITS. Readers learn the basics of electric circuits with common design practices and simulations as the book presents clear step-by-step examples, practical exercises, and problems. Each chapter includes several examples and problems related to circuit design, with answers for odd-numbered questions so learners can further prepare themselves with self-guided study and practice. ELECTRIC CIRCUITS covers everything from DC circuits and AC circuits to Laplace transformed circuits. MATLAB scripts for certain examples give readers an alternate method to solve circuit problems, check answers, and reduce laborious derivations and calculations. This edition also provides PSpice and Simulink examples to demonstrate electric circuit simulations. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.

Majors and non-majors in electricity will benefit from this easy-to-understand and highly illustrated introduction to DC and AC electrical theory, circuits, and equipment. The only prequisites are algebra and a basic knowledge of trigonometry. This updated edition reflects changes in industry resulting from increasing computerization of electrical equipment. Modern solid-state components are covered in appropriate sections throughout the book. These components are especially featured in the area of industrial controls.

Advanced Electric Circuits focuses on circuit analysis, including amplification, oscillations, capacitance, and circuit elements. The publication first offers information on the symbolic method of analysis, network theorems, bridge networks, and tuned circuits and filters. The text then takes a look at polyphase circuits, non-sinusoidal and transient excitation, and valves as circuit elements. Discussions focus on amplification, resistance-capacitance amplifiers, feedback, negative feedback amplifiers, cathode follower, low-power oscillations, and practical design of feedback circuits. The manuscript elaborates on transistors as circuit elements and elementary transmission-line analysis. Topics include ideal small-signal current amplifiers, small signal performance of the common emitter amplifier, comparative table of symbols, and typical examination questions. The publication is a dependable reference for students and readers interested in electric circuits.

Appropriate for introductory college courses in electrical engineering for major and nonmajors alike. Assumes that students have already completed one year of college-level calculus and physics. This text presents the basics of electrical engineering from the perspective of the primary principles behind the subject, rather than dwelling on superficial details. It is based on three objectives: to explain the fundamental ideas behind electrical engineering, to emphasize the unity of the subject, and to bring an understanding of the subject within the reach of all engineers.
