Circuit Analysis

This book is concerned with circuit simulation using National Instruments Multisim. It focuses on the use and comprehension of the working techniques for electrical and electronic circuit simulation. The first chapters are devoted to basic circuit analysis.

This book is concerned with circuit simulation using National Instruments Multisim.

This book is designed as an introductory course for undergraduate students, in Electrical and Electronic, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Chemical and Petroleum engineering, who need fundamental knowledge of electrical circuits. Worked out examples have been presented after discussing each theory. Practice problems have also been included to enrich the learning experience of the students and professionals. PSpice and Multisim software packages have been included for simulation of different electrical circuit parameters. A number of exercise problems have been included in the book to aid faculty members.

This basic undergraduate text deals with the principal areas of electrical engineering theory, ranging from simple resistive circuits to Fourier and transient analysis. The book begins with a study of elements and laws, and progresses through d.c. circuit analysis; after a study of sinusoidal analysis, the reader is shown how these theorems and techniques can be applied to a.c. circuits.

The study of circuits is the foundation on which most other courses in the electrical engineering curriculum are based. For this reason the first course in circuit analysis must be appropriate to the succeeding specializations, which may be classified into two groups. One is a specialization in electro­ nics, microelectronics, communications, computers etc. , or so-called low­ current, low-voltage engineering. The other is in power electronics, power systems, energy conversion devices etc. , or so-called high-current, high­ voltage engineering.
