Electrical networks
The book begins with simple basic concepts and the principal circuit theorems,
which form a good link to the knowledge of the starting student; initially the
mathematics is not difficult either. Very soon the controlled sources (including
opamps) are introduced.
Subsequently the whole theory is extended to alternating currents including
complex voltages, currents and impedances, while the mathematics becomes
increasingly complicated. The subsequent chapters discuss transformers, threephase
systems, Fourier analysis, the complex frequency, poles and zeros, two
ports including filters and networks with switches (transient response). Then an
extensive chapter on computer aided design follows; it turns out that the problems
dealt with before can be solved by computer.
Each chapter finishes with a large number of problems with increasing difficulty.
The book concludes with the answers to the problems.
The book contains over 900 diagrams, vital for an understanding of electrical
networks.
In the field of network theory one cannot avoid using mathematics, but the
physical background of mathematical results will be clarified. In order to avoid
calculations that are too complex in most cases simple values have been used
for the network elements.
