Success in the electronics field requires a substantial background in electric circuits. This unique book provides an effective introduction to the fundamentals of DC/AC circuits presenting material in a clear and easy-to-understand way. All important concepts, rules, and formulas are highlighted (boxed) after the explanation and are also summarized at the end of each chapter. The laboratory manuals at the end of each chapter are convenient for doing hands-on practice and will help readers to master the circuit theory. This book is an ideal text for university students or for any professionals wishing to gain a good understanding of electric circuits.
