Introduction to Circuit Analysis and Design takes the view that circuits have inputs and outputs, and that relations between inputs and outputs and the terminal characteristics of circuits at input and output ports are all-important in analysis and design. Two-port models, input resistance, output impedance, gain, loading effects, and frequency response are treated in more depth than is traditional. Due attention to these topics is essential preparation for design, provides useful preparation for subsequent courses in electronic devices and circuits, and eases the transition from circuits to systems.

This textbook for a one-semester course in Electrical Circuit Theory is written to be concise, understandable, and applicable. Matlab is used throughout, for coding the programs and simulation of the circuits. Every new concept is illustrated with numerous examples and figures, in order to facilitate learning. The simple and clear style of presentation, along with comprehensive coverage, enables students to gain a solid foundation in the subject, along with the ability to apply techniques to real circuit analysis. Written to be accessible to students of varying backgrounds, this textbook presents the analysis of realistic, working circuits Presents concepts in a clear, concise and comprehensive manner, such as the difficult problem of setting up the equilibrium equations of circuits using a systematic approach in a few distinct steps Includes worked examples of functioning circuits, throughout every chapter, with an emphasis on real applications Includes numerous exercises at the end of each chapter Provides program scripts and circuit simulations, using the popular and widely used Matlab software, as supplementary material online

A concise and original presentation of the fundamentals for ‘new to the subject’ electrical engineers This book has been written for students on electrical engineering courses who don’t necessarily possess prior knowledge of electrical circuits. Based on the author’s own teaching experience, it covers the analysis of simple electrical circuits consisting of a few essential components using fundamental and well-known methods and techniques. Although the above content has been included in other circuit analysis books, this one aims at teaching young engineers not only from electrical and electronics engineering, but also from other areas, such as mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, mining engineering, and chemical engineering, with unique pedagogical features such as a puzzle-like approach and negative-case examples (such as the unique “When Things Go Wrong…” section at the end of each chapter). Believing that the traditional texts in this area can be overwhelming for beginners, the author approaches his subject by providing numerous examples for the student to solve and practice before learning more complicated components and circuits. These exercises and problems will provide instructors with in-class activities and tutorials, thus establishing this book as the perfect complement to the more traditional texts. All examples and problems contain detailed analysis of various circuits, and are solved using a ‘recipe’ approach, providing a code that motivates students to decode and apply to real-life engineering scenarios Covers the basic topics of resistors, voltage and current sources, capacitors and inductors, Ohm’s and Kirchhoff’s Laws, nodal and mesh analysis, black-box approach, and Thevenin/Norton equivalent circuits for both DC and AC cases in transient and steady states Aims to stimulate interest and discussion in the basics, before moving on to more modern circuits with higher-level components Includes more than 130 solved examples and 120 detailed exercises with supplementary solutions Accompanying website to provide supplementary materials www.wiley.com/go/ergul4412

"Looking back over the past twelve editions of the text, it is interesting to find that the average time period between editions is about 3.5 years. This fourteenth edition, however, will have 5 years between copyright dates clearly indicating a need to update and carefully review the content. Since the last edition, tabs have been placed on pages that need reflection, updating, or expansion. The result is that my copy of the text looks more like a dust mop than a text on technical material. The benefits of such an approach become immediately obvious-no need to look for areas that need attention-they are well-defined. In total, I have an opportunity to concentrate on being creative rather than searching for areas to improve. A simple rereading of material that I have not reviewed for a few years will often identify presentations that need to be improved. Something I felt was in its best form a few years ago can often benefit from rewriting, expansion, or possible reduction. Such opportunities must be balanced against the current scope of the text, which clearly has reached a maximum both in size and weight. Any additional material requires a reduction in content in other areas, so the process can often be a difficult one. However, I am pleased to reveal that the page count has expanded only slightly although an important array of new material has been added"--
