Introduction to Electrical Circuits

Lab Manual, Eighth Edition

Brian Kelly

This manual contains a collection of experiments to accompany the text Introduction to Electric Circuits, Eighth Edition. The experiments in this manual have been chosen to cover the main topics taught in foundation level courses in electrical theory and can be done with inexpensive test equipment and circuit components. These experiments have been developed and refined over many years and are written in an easy-to-follow, step-by-step manner. There is a brief discussion at the beginning of each lab covering the theory behind the experiments to be carried out. Questions are also included to test the students' comprehension of the theoretical concepts verified by the experimental results, and the manual is formatted to allow for the questions to be answered on the lab sheet itself, if a formal report is not required.

Readership : Introduction to electrical circuits, circuit analysis, ac/dc circuits.
