Mastering Circuit Analysis

This book is your essential guide to mastering the fundamentals of electrical analysis. Starting with direct current (DC), it explores batteries, current, voltage, and key concepts like Ohm’s Law and Kirchhoff’s Laws for circuit analysis. Progressing to advanced topics, you'll learn about mesh analysis, superposition, Thevenin’s and Norton’s Theorems, and transient analysis, including time constants and DC RL/RC circuits.

The journey continues with alternating current (AC), covering RMS values, phasors, complex numbers, and AC RLC circuits used in radio receivers. The final chapter dives into the world of magnets and magnetic circuits. Throughout, simulations using TINA 12 ECAD software demonstrate the accuracy of the methods discussed.

This book equips engineers with the essential knowledge and skills to excel in electrical analysis. By mastering these foundational topics, readers will build the confidence and expertise needed to achieve qualifications and design innovative systems with ease.
