Hi all. I'm taking an introductory EE course this semester which will cover the following topics. Just for clarification, this is my 1st year at university. The following is the syllabus for the course:
My professor recommended these 2 textbooks for the course, but I checked Amazon.com and have found them to have been trashed pretty badly by the reviewers:
Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering
Author:Giorgio Rizzoni Revised 4e / 2004
ISBN:0-07-119878-4 (ISE) McGraw Hill
Electrical Engineering Principles and Applications
Author:Allan R. Hambley 3e / 2004
ISBN:0-13-147046-9
In addition, he also recommended Engineering Circuit Analysis by William H. Hayt, Jack Kemmerly.
Can anyone else recommend any other textbook apart from the above?
Thanks.
1. Introduction
SI Units. Voltage, current, power and energy.
2. DC Circuit Analysis
Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws. Ideal and practical sources. Source transformation. Nodal and mesh analysis. Thevenin's and Norton's equivalent circuits. Maximum power transfer. Superposition Theorem. Dependent sources.
3. AC Circuits Analysis
Review of complex numbers. Root mean square value, Frequency and phase. Phasors. Impedance, Resistance, Inductance, Capacitance, Admittance. Power and power factor. Sinusoidal frequency response of circuits. Tune circuit, Resonance, bandwidth and Q factor.
4. Application Examples
