From the Back Cover ------------------- Learn to: * Grasp resistive circuits, Kirchhoff's laws, equivalent subcircuits, and more * Supplement your classroom learning * Score high in your Circuit Analysis course Circuits overloaded from electrical circuit analysis? Circuit Analysis For Dummies gives you clear-cut information about the topics covered in a typical circuit analysis course. From resistive circuits and Kirchhoff's laws to equivalent subcircuits and energy storage, this friendly, hands-on guide is the perfect aid for making sense of the topics that may be confusing you in your circuit analysis course. So what are you waiting for? * Circuit Analysis 101 -- get the lowdown on the engineering lingo, concepts, and techniques necessary to analyze circuits * Simplify it -- understand the general analytical methods that help you simplify more complicated circuits to a manageable level * Get amped -- recognize how to work with transistors as current amplifiers and op-amps as voltage amplifiers * Ch-ch-ch-changes -- deal with changing signals and circuits that have passive energy storage devices (such as inductors and capacitors) * Be a convert -- use phasor and Lace techniques to convert a calculus-based problem into one requiring only algebra Open the book and find: * The keys to reading circuit schematics * How to apply Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's laws when analyzing circuits * The steps for transforming sources * Mesh current analysis, superposition, and other useful analytical methods * The ins and outs of op-amp circuits * Approaches for analyzing first- and second-order circuits * How to create filters by connecting resistors, inductors, and capacitors About the Author ---------------- John M. Santiago Jr., PhD, served in the United States Air Force (USAF) for 26 years. During that time, he held a variety of leadership positions in technical program management, acquisition development, and operation research support.
