Basic Electric Circuits

Basic Electric Circuits, Second Edition details the underlying principle that governs the electric-circuit theory. The title provides problems and worked examples that supplement the discussion of applications of the ideas. The text first deals with conducting and insulating materials, and then proceeds to talking about semiconductor junction devices. Next, the selection covers resistance, capacitance, and inductance, along with different kinds of circuitry. The title also discusses graphical methods, symbolic method of analysis, and elementary transmission-line analysis. The book will be of great use to students of electrical engineering. The text will also serve as a reference material for professional engineers.

BASIC ELECTRIC CIRCUITS

Basic Electric Circuits is designed as a foundational textbook for students, educators, and professionals seeking a clear and comprehensive understanding of electric circuit principles. Electric circuits form the backbone of all modern electrical and electronic systems, and a strong conceptual base in this area is essential for anyone pursuing studies in electrical engineering, electronics, instrumentation, or related domains. This book has been developed to serve as an accessible yet rigorous resource that bridges fundamental theory with practical application. The content of this book is organized in a structured and progressive manner. Beginning with basic electrical quantities and laws, it gradually advances toward complex network theorems, transient analysis, AC circuits, resonance, polyphase systems, and practical circuit design aspects. Each chapter includes detailed explanations, illustrative diagrams, and solved examples aimed at enhancing clarity of understanding. The problems provided at the end of each chapter encourage learners to apply the concepts, develop analytical skills, and gain confidence in problem-solving. This book emphasizes both conceptual clarity and real-world relevance. Wherever possible, practical insights, engineering interpretations, and application-oriented discussions have been included. These features make the text equally useful for classroom teaching, self-study, exam preparation, and laboratory support. The authors acknowledge the contributions of educators, researchers, and industry practitioners whose ideas, methods, and advancements have shaped the field of electric circuits over the decades. Special appreciation is extended to students whose enthusiasm and curiosity continue to inspire the creation of effective learning materials. It is our sincere hope that this book becomes a valuable learning companion and a reliable reference for all readers. We invite feedback and suggestions to continuously improve future editions.
