What Are the Best Books for Learning Circuit Analysis?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommendations for books and resources for learning circuit analysis, particularly in the context of linear circuits. Key texts mentioned include "Fundamentals of Electric Circuits" by Charles K. Alexander and Matthew N.O. Sadiku, and "Engineering Circuit Analysis" by Hayt and Kemmerly. Additionally, "Microelectronic Circuits" by Sedra and Smith is noted for those interested in microelectronics. Participants express a need for better educational materials and suggest exploring MIT OpenCourseWare and YouTube lectures for supplementary learning.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of linear circuit theory
  • Familiarity with Thevenin's and Norton's theorems
  • Basic knowledge of loop current methods
  • Exposure to microelectronics concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore MIT OpenCourseWare for circuit analysis courses
  • Study "Fundamentals of Electric Circuits" by Alexander and Sadiku
  • Review "Engineering Circuit Analysis" by Hayt and Kemmerly
  • Investigate "Microelectronic Circuits" by Sedra and Smith for microelectronics
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in electrical engineering, particularly those focusing on circuit analysis and microelectronics, will benefit from this discussion.

Hi, do you have any recommendations of books that deal with circuit analysis and circuit solving? I'm currently involved in a course that deals with linear circuits, and we are learning all of these methods of loop currents, thevenin's and norton's theorem, potential of knots and lots of methods way to fast and incomprehensible. Our book sucks too. Is there a source you'd recommend? Like some MIT OCW course, a good textbook or lectures on youtube?
Thanks!

I recently just completed a course all about linear circuits too. Unfortunately I couldn't get a good textbook either. The best I got was "Fundamentals of Electric Circuits" by Charles K. Alexander and Matthew N.O. Sadiku. Hope you'll find it more useful than I did.

I used and currently are learning from Hayt and Kemmerly's Engineering Circuit Analysis. Also for Microelectronics, I am examining Sedra and Smith, Mocroelectronic Circuits.
