DC Electrical Circuit Analysis: A Practical Approach

By James M Fiore

A practical and thorough treatment of DC circuit analysis, this text begins with coverage of scientific and engineering notation along with the metric system. Also included is a discussion of the scientific method - the basis of our modern system of investigation and technology. From there, basic concepts and quantities are introduced such as charge, current, energy, power and voltage. Subsequent chapters introduce resistance, series circuits, parallel circuits and series-parallel circuits. The text continues with chapters covering analysis techniques such as superposition, source conversions, mesh analysis, nodal analysis, Thévenin's and Norton's theorems, and delta-wye conversions; plus dependent sources, and an introduction to capacitors and inductors. RL and RC circuits are included for DC initial and steady state response along with transient response. The text also features over 500 end-of-chapter problems. A companion text covering AC circuit analysis picks up where this one leaves off. This is the print version of the on-line OER. The current revision number and date are 1.0.12, 13 October 2024.
