Circuits class textbook recommedations?

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for circuits textbooks include "Basic Engineering Circuit Analysis" by J. David Irwin, though it has received poor reviews. Another suggested title is "Fundamentals of Electric Circuits" by Alexander and Sadiku, particularly the 4th edition. "The Art of Electronics" is also endorsed as a valuable resource. It's advised to consider supplementary texts that explain the basics differently to enhance understanding. Overall, exploring multiple resources can aid in grasping circuit concepts effectively.

Can anyone recommend a circuits book? And I have never taken a circuits class.
The textbook that my school is reading from is

Basic Engineering Circuit Analysis by J. David Irwin.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005FHLIP4/?tag=pfamazon01-20

However the book did not get good reviews so I want to find another book.

A vote for Art of Electronics from me too.

Don't be shy of purchasing a really basic level text to supplement it. Having the basics explained in a different way and having examples on those can make the main text easier to use and more effective if you are new to it.

Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
