Circuit Analysis: Best Books on Mesh, Nodal, Superposition & Thevenin/Norton

AI Thread Summary
Recommended books for circuit analysis include Irwin's book, which offers helpful video resources for problem-solving, and Hayt's "Engineering Circuit Analysis," noted for its clarity. Users appreciate Scott's "Linear Circuits" for its extensive problem sets and solutions, although its availability may be uncertain. The discussion highlights the need for more examples and practical problems in circuit analysis texts, particularly for concepts like mesh, nodal, superposition, and Thevenin/Norton. Overall, the community seeks resources that effectively address challenges with dependent and independent sources. These recommendations aim to enhance understanding and application of circuit analysis principles.

Can anyone recommend a good book on circuit analysis, right now focusing on mesh, nodal, superposition, thevenin/norton? The book I'm using (hayt et al) doesn't give enough examples nor problems at the end of the chapter. I took a look at schaum's outline but it seems to rarely use dependent and independent current/voltage sources which is what I struggle with the most.

For just starting out I really liked Irwins book.

What was especially nice is when you buy it, you can get a link to his website where he has videos of him solving problems. This is especially nice if your professor is well, not-so-good.

Engineering Circuit Analysis (Hayt, Kemmerly, Durbin)

I found the https://www.amazon.com/dp/007286611X/?tag=pfamazon01-20 above to be very useful. I have used it in two online EE classes (no instructor) and found I could follow it easily.

Linear Circuits by Scott has a shedload of problems in it... and answers too...

Dunno if it's still in print though. My copy is 35 years old...
 

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
