Preface‘Electrical Circuit Theory and Technology, Revised second Edition’provides coverage for a wide range of courses that contain electricalprinciples, circuit theory and technology in their syllabuses, fromintroductory to degree level. The chapter ‘Transients and Laplacetransforms’, which had been removed from the second edition due to pagerestraints, has been included in this edition in response to popular demand.The text is set out in four parts as follows:PART 1, involving chapters 1 to 12, contains ‘Basic ElectricalEngineering Principles’ which any student wishing to progress inelectrical engineering would need to know. An introduction to electricalcircuits, resistance variation, chemical effects of electricity, seriesand parallel circuits, capacitors and capacitance, magnetic circuits,electromagnetism, electromagnetic induction, electrical measuringinstruments and measurements, semiconductor diodes and transistors areall included in this section.PART 2, involving chapters 13 to 22, contains ‘Electrical Principlesand Technology’ suitable for Advanced GNVQ, National Certificate,National Diploma and City and Guilds courses in electrical and electronicengineering. D.c. circuit theory, alternating voltages and currents,single-phase series and parallel circuits, d.c. transients, operationalamplifiers, three-phase systems, transformers, d.c. machines and threephase induction motors are all included in this section.PART 3, involving chapters 23 to 45, contains ‘Advanced CircuitTheory and Technology’ suitable for Degree, Higher NationalCertificate/Diploma and City and Guilds courses in electrical andelectronic/telecommunications engineering. The two earlier sections of thebook will provide a valuable reference/revision for students at this level.Complex numbers and their application to series and parallel networks,power in a.c. circuits, a.c. bridges, series and parallel resonance andQ-factor, network analysis involving Kirchhoff’s laws, mesh and nodalanalysis, the superposition theorem, Thévenin’s and Norton’s theorems,delta-star and star-delta transforms, maximum power transfer theoremsand impedance matching, complex waveforms, harmonic analysis,magnetic materials, dielectrics and dielectric loss, field theory, attenuators,filter networks, magnetically coupled circuits, transmission line theory andtransients and Laplace transforms are all included in this section.PART 4 provides a short, ‘General Reference’ for standard electricalquantities — their symbols and units, the Greek alphabet, commonprefixes and resistor colour coding and ohmic values.At the beginning of each of the 45 chapters learning objectivesare listed.At the end of each of the first three parts of the text is a handy referenceof the main formulae used.

xviii Electrical Circuit Theory and TechnologyIt is not possible to acquire a thorough understanding of electricalprinciples, circuit theory and technology without working through a largenumber of numerical problems. It is for this reason that ‘Electrical CircuitTheory and Technology, Revised second Edition’ contains some 740detailed worked problems, together with over 1100 further problems,all with answers in brackets immediately following each question. Over1100 line diagrams further enhance the understanding of the theory.Fourteen Assignments have been included, interspersed within thetext every few chapters. For example, Assignment 1 tests understandingof chapters 1 to 4, Assignment 2 tests understanding of chapters 5 to 7,Assignment 3 tests understanding of chapters 8 to 12, and so on. TheseAssignments do not have answers given since it is envisaged that lecturerscould set the Assignments for students to attempt as part of their coursestructure. Lecturers’ may obtain a complimentary set of solutions of theAssignments in an Instructor’s Manual available from the publishersvia the internet — see below.‘Learning by Example’ is at the heart of ‘Electrical Circuit Theoryand Technology, Revised second Edition’.JOHN BIRDUniversity of Portsmouth

This was introduced in 1960and is now adopted by the majority of countries as the official system ofmeasurement.The basic units in the SI system are listed with their symbols, inTable 1.1.TABLE 1.1Basic SI UnitsQuantityUnitlengthmasstimeelectric currentthermodynamic temperatureluminous intensityamount of substancemetre, mkilogram, kgsecond, sampere, Akelvin, Kcandela, cdmole, molDerived SI units use combinations of basic units and there are many ofthem. Two examples are:žžVelocity — metres per second (m/s)Acceleration — metres per second squared (m/s2 )

4 Electrical Circuit Theory and TechnologySI units may be made larger or smaller by using prefixes which denotemultiplication or division by a particular amount. The six most commonmultiples, with their meaning, are listed in Table 1.2.TABLE 1.21.2 ChargePrefixNameMeaningMkm npmegakilomillimicronanopicomultiply by 1 000 000multiply by 1000divide by 1000divide by 1 000 000divide by 1 000 000 000divide by 1 000 000 000 000(i.e.(i.e.(i.e.(i.e.(i.e.(i.e.ð106 )ð103 )ð10 3 )ð10 6 )ð10 9 )ð10 12 )The unit of charge is the coulomb (C) where one coulomb is one amperesecond. (1 coulomb D 6.24 ð 1018 electrons). The coulomb is defined asthe quantity of electricity which flows past a given point in an electriccircuit when a current of one ampere is maintained for one second. Thus,charge, in coulombs Q Itwhere I is the current in amperes and t is the time in seconds.Problem 1. If a current of 5 A flows for 2 minutes, find the quantity of electricity transferred.Quantity of electricity Q D It coulombsI D 5 A, t D 2 ð 60 D 120 sHence Q D 5 ð 120 D 600 C1.3ForceThe unit of force is the newton (N) where one newton is one kilogrammetre per second squared. The newton is defined as the force which, whenapplied to a mass of one kilogram, gives it an acceleration of one metreper second squared. Thus,force, in newtons F mawhere m is the mass in kilograms and a is the acceleration in metresper second squared. Gravitational force, or weight, is mg, where g D9.81 m/s2

The joule is defined as the work done or energy transferred whena force of one newton is exerted through a distance of one metre in thedirection of the force. Thuswork done on a body, in joules W Fswhere F is the force in newtons and s is the distance in metres movedby the body in the direction of the force. Energy is the capacity fordoing work.1.5 PowerThe unit of power is the watt (W) where one watt is one joule per second.Power is defined as the rate of doing work or transferring energy. Thus,power in watts, P Wtwhere W is the work done or energy transferred in joules and t is thetime in seconds. Thusenergy, in joules, W Pt

One volt is defined as the difference in potential betweentwo points in a conductor which, when carrying a current of one ampere,dissipates a power of one watt, i.e.volts pere secondscoulombsA change in electric potential between two points in an electric circuit iscalled a potential difference. The electromotive force (e.m.f.) providedby a source of energy such as a battery or a generator is measured in volts.1.7 Resistance andconductanceThe unit of electric resistance is the ohm (Z) where one ohm is onevolt per ampere. It is defined as the resistance between two points in aconductor when a constant electric potential of one volt applied at thetwo points produces a current flow of one ampere in the conductor. Thus,resistance, in ohms R VI
