Overview

Using a unique, successfully class-tested method-teaching Direct Current as a special case of Alternating Current-this innovative text provides a fresh alternative to the traditional treatment of circuit analysis as two separate segments (one devoted exclusively to DC circuits, the other to AC circuits). By integrating the analysis of DC & AC circuits into a coherent whole, it helps students develop a clearer understanding of the behavior of all components in a circuit, and allows instructors to fit more course into less time. *Combined coverage of theorems and fundamental physical concepts-Where appropriate. - Allows instructors to cover all relevant material in one semester rather than the usual two, or to introduce new topics without substantially increasing the number of classroom hours required. *Individual components-Describes both their AC and DC characteristics. DC performance is derived by letting the frequency approach zero. - Students do not have to memorize two sets of characteristics. *Series, parallel, and series parallel circuits-Analyzed using the same circuit laws for both the DC and AC cases. - Allows students to avoid the impression that they are dealing with two unrelated subjects. *Network theorems-Covered only once for both AC and DC circuits. - Avoids duplicating the theory behind these analysis tools. *A focus on fundamental physical concepts-Reviews the particular mathematical techniques applicable to a specific analysis techniques in every case. - Ensures student comprehension. *Coverage of analysis software included (Electronic Work Bench)-Features a full chapter on instrumentation and software used to analyze circuits. - Helps students gain a superior understanding of essential laboratory and analysis techniques.
