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 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

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...
