1st Semester Electronics: Part 1-Basic DC Circuit Analysis (Electronic Circuit Analysis Simplified)

This book is intended for beginning Electricity or Electronics students who need a quick, to the point study guide for analysis of basic DC Resistive circuits. Basic Series, Parallel, Series-Parallel, Parallel-Series, Voltage Divider, circuits with unknown component values and power in these circuits is covered. The exact procedures for solving each of these circuit types is presented along with practice circuits with answers. Also presented is conversions between units such as milli, micro, nano and pico. The experienced student, electronics certification candidate or technician will find this text to be a useful refresher for basic DC Resistive circuit analysis skills.
