How to selfstudy to learn (electronics) network analysis (Thevenin, Norton)?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on learning network theorems, including KCL, KVL, Thevenin and Norton theorems, superposition, and maximum power transfer. The individual is self-studying using Malvino's materials but finds a lack of solved problems and struggles with circuits involving double voltage sources and multiple loops. Suggestions for improvement include utilizing online resources such as YouTube and Khan Academy for video tutorials. Additionally, practical application through circuit building and verification with simulation tools like Falstad's circuit simulator is recommended. Practicing both KCL and KVL methods for the same problems is also advised to strengthen understanding.

I am learning network theorem,my syllabus includes application of kcl,kvl,thevenin and norton theorem,superposition theorem,maximum power transfer

I studied it from malvino,its quite good! But lack of solved problems!
Actually I am finding difficulty while solving networks with double voltage sources and 3 or more loops!

Also i want to get good foundation on the basics!
I understand kcl,kvl and thevenin overall but not really comfortable in applying them!

Any suggestion will be appreciated! And I will be self studying!
Thanks!

Have you checked for videos on Youtube and sites like the Khan academy?

Something else you can do to practice KCL/KVL is to build circuits yourself, run the calculations and then verify the results with a simulator http://www.falstad.com/circuit/ helped me get through circuits 2 =D

When learning KCL/KVL the other thing I would do is, if the question asked to do it in KVL, I'd do it in KVL and redo it in KCL for practice (and vis-versa)

Thanks i will try this!
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
