The book offers new sections on analysis methods for two-terminal resistive circuits and devices (including piecewise linear elements), circuits containing real op amps, Bode diagrams, first- and second-order filters and their implementation by active circuits, and Spice simulation of circuits containing op amps. The original goal of the book and the basic approach of the previous editions have been retained, however. The book is designed for use as a textbook for a first course in circuit analysis or as a supplement to standard texts and can be used by electrical engineering students as well as other engineering and technology students. Emphasis is placed on the basic laws, theorems and problem-solving techniques which are common to most courses. The subject matter is divided into 17 chapters covering duly recognized areas of theory and study. The chapters begin with statements of pertinent definitions, principles, and theorems together with illustrative examples.

This is followed by sets of solved and supplementary problems. The problems cover a range of levels of difficulty. Some problems focus on fine points, which helps the student to better apply the basic principles correctly and confidently. The supplementary problems are generally more numerous and give the reader an opportunity to practice problem-solving skills. Answers are provided with each supplementary problem. The book begins with fundamental definitions, circuit elements including dependent sources, circuit laws and theorems, and analysis techniques such as node voltage and mesh current methods.

These theorems and methods are initially applied to dc-resistive circuits and then extended to RLC circuits by the use of impedance and complex frequency. The op amp examples and problems in are selected carefully to illustrate simple but practical cases which are of interest and importance to future courses. The subject of waveforms and signals is treated in a separate chapter to increase the students awareness of commonly used signal models. Circuit behavior such as the steady state and transient response to steps, pulses, impulses and exponential inputs are discussed for first-order circuits in . Finally, two appendices provide a useful summary of complex number system, and matrices and determinants. This book is dedicated to our students, and students of our students, from whom we have learned to teach well.

To a large degree it is they who have made possible our satisfying and rewarding teaching careers. We also wish to thank our wives Zahra Nahvi and Nina Edminister for their continuing support. MAHMOOD NAHVI JOSEPH A. EDMINISTER

Nahvis areas of special interest and expertise include network theory, control theory, communications engineering, signal processing, neural networks, adaptive control and learning in synthetic and living systems, communication and control in the central nervous system, and engineering education. In the area of engineering education, he has developed computer modules for electric circuits, signals, and systems which improve teaching and learning of the fundamentals of electrical engineering. JOSEPH A. EDMINISTER is professor emeritus of Electrical Engineering at the University of Akron in Akron, Ohio, where he also served as assistant dean and acting dean of Engineering. He was a member of the faculty from 1957 until his retirement in 1983. In 1984 he served on the staff of Congressman Dennis Eckart (D-11-OH) on an IEEE Congressional Fellowship.
