Circuit analysis self-tests/practice

AI Thread Summary
Resources for circuit analysis practice at a first-year electrical engineering level include Schaum's "Electric Circuits 3000 Solved Problems," which offers numerous exercises and solutions. Another recommended book is "Electric Circuits Problem Solver," noted for its positive reviews. Users are also seeking software or interactive tools for practicing Ohm's Law calculations, such as determining total current, voltage, and resistance. There is a noted lack of recent software options for these practice questions. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the need for accessible learning materials and tools for circuit analysis.

Hi all

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good books or other resources that contain lots of circuits to practice analysis, beginning with the basics, ie Kirchoff, Norton, Thevinin, around first year BE(EE) level. Must contain answers too.

Regards

Schaum's outlines "Electric circuits 3000 solved problems," also has lots of exercises and solutions.

I've just ordered "Electric Circuits Problem Solver (Problem Solvers)" from Amazon. I considered Schaum's but this one had the better reviews.
 
Anyone know of any software or interactive electronics Ohms Law practice questions? ie. determine Total Current, Voltage, Resistance etc? Year ago there use be some out there but I have not found any recently.
 
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?
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
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...
