About this ebook
Principles of Electric Circuits: Conventional Current (10th Global Edition) by Thomas L. Floyd and David M. Buchla provides a comprehensive introduction to DC and AC circuit fundamentals. The textbook explicitly uses conventional current flow (positive to negative) to teach core circuit laws, component behaviors, and practical engineering troubleshooting methods. [1, 2]
The primary chapters and topics covered across the 21 chapters of this text include:
Foundations & Direct Current (DC) Circuits
  • Quantities and Units: Focuses on scientific and engineering notation, metric prefixes, unit conversions, and dimensional analysis.
  • Voltage, Current, and Resistance: Introduces atomic structure, electrical charge, conductors, insulators, and basic circuit measurements using digital multimeters (DMMs).
  • Ohm's Law: Explores the linear relationship between voltage, current, and resistance alongside basic circuit troubleshooting.
  • Energy and Power: Covers power calculation formulas, energy units (kilowatt-hours), power ratings, and efficiency.
  • Series Circuits: Analyzes current flow, total resistance, voltage dividers, and Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL).
  • Parallel Circuits: Analyzes branch current, total resistance, current dividers, and Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL).
  • Series-Parallel Circuits: Focuses on combining series and parallel networks, analyzing loaded voltage dividers, and isolating circuit faults.
  • Circuit Theorems and Conversions: Covers advanced optimization using Thevenin’s, Norton’s, and Superposition theorems alongside source conversions.
  • Branch, Loop, and Node Analyses: Delves into simultaneous loop equations, mesh analysis, and nodal network evaluation. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
Magnetism & Alternating Current (AC) Circuits
  • Magnetism and Electromagnetism: Introduces magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction, relays, and basic stepper motor concepts.
  • Introduction to Alternating Current and Voltage: Covers sinusoidal waveforms, frequency, period, phase shifts, oscilloscopes, and non-sinusoidal waves.
  • Capacitors: Explores capacitive physical structure, total capacitance in networks, and energy storage behaviors.
  • RC Circuits: Covers sinusoidal response, impedance, phase angles, and leading/lagging relationships in resistor-capacitor circuits.
  • Inductors: Explores physical inductors, mutual inductance, and total series/parallel inductances.
  • RL Circuits: Evaluates sinusoidal response, impedance, and reactive power constraints in resistor-inductor circuits.
  • Transformers: Covers step-up/step-down principles, turns ratios, efficiency, magnetic isolation, and tapped transformer networks.
  • RLC Circuits and Resonance: Details combination RLC systems, series/parallel resonant behaviors, and Q-factor calculations.
  • Passive Filters: Introduces low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and band-stop filter networks alongside decibel measurements.
  • Circuit Theorems in AC Analysis: Re-evaluates DC network theorems (Thevenin, Maximum Power Transfer) specifically under reactive AC impedances.
  • Time Response of Reactive Circuits: Delves into transient response curves, time constants (τ), and step-voltage behaviors for pulse networks.
  • Three-Phase Systems in Power Applications: Introduces heavy power transmission configurations, delta/wye connections, and three-phase generation dynamics. [1, 2]
Supplementary Appendices
The textbook concludes with specialized reference guides covering standard resistor value charts, detailed mathematical derivations, capacitor value alphanumeric coding, and NI Multisim for Circuit Simulation tutorials.
