Fundamentals of AC Circuits and Electronics : AC Circuits and Electronics with Multisim

This eBook covers Alternating Current (AC) circuits as well as a brief introduction of electronics. It is broken up into seven modules. Module 1 covers the theory of AC signals such as sinusoidal waveforms (or sine waves), square waves, and triangle waves. Module 2, titled AC Circuits Math Background, covers the mathematics needed for solving AC circuit problems. The background material in Modules 1 and 2 are combined in Module 3 to solve circuits with AC sources with resistors, inductors, and capacitors (RLC circuits).

Module 4 focuses on using RLC circuits as passive filters. Content that is traditionally associated with AC Circuits material ends in Module 4, but additional content is included in Modules 5 to 7 to provide more practical knowledge that builds upon the theory learned in AC circuits. Topics in these final three modules include transformers, diodes, and operational amplifiers. These topics in Modules 5 to 7 are the foundation of the field of electronics. Only an overview is provided in this eBook.
