This book offers a concise introduction to the analysis
of electrical transients aimed at students who have completed introductory
circuits and freshman calculus courses. While it is written under the
assumption that these students are encountering transient electrical circuits
for the first time, the mathematical and physical theory is not ‘watered-down.’
That is, the analysis of both lumped and continuous (transmission line)
parameter circuits is performed with the use of differential equations (both
ordinary and partial) in the time domain, and the Laplace transform. The
transform is fully developed in the book for readers who are not assumed to
have seen it before. The use of singular time functions (unit step and impulse)
is addressed and illustrated through detailed examples.
The appearance of paradoxical circuit situations, often
ignored in many textbooks (because they are, perhaps, considered ‘difficult’ to
explain) is fully embraced as an opportunity to challenge students. In
addition, historical commentary is included throughout the book, to combat the
misconception that the material in engineering textbooks was found engraved on
Biblical stones, rather than painstakingly discovered by people of genius who
often went down many wrong paths before finding the right one. MATLAB® is used
throughout the book, with simple codes to quickly and easily generate transient
response curves.
