And with these other plausible reads the plaintiffs would indeed have something to worry about. While the way the DOJ read the statute would mean that the plaintiffs had nothing to fear, what the court honed in on was that it was not the only plausible way to read the statute. The plaintiffs appealed, and we supported the appeal with an amicus brief.īack in September I attended the oral argument in the appeal and came away cautiously optimistic that the DC Circuit would see the matter differently. Per the district court, the plaintiffs had not been hurt by the statute, nor were they likely to be hurt by it, and thus they had no right to challenge it in the courts. That challenge hit a roadblock when the district court dismissed that lawsuit for lack of standing by the plaintiffs. So focus on learning to become a better problem solver instead of becoming a master in simulating circuits in Multisim.We've written several times before about the constitutional challenge to FOSTA in the case Woodhull Freedom Foundation, et al. Engineers that have become adept at solving complicated problems in many different areas are desperately needed to help solve the challenges we face. By learning how to solve new types of problems you become a better problem solver, which is what the world desperately needs. Additionally, learning to solve the circuit problems helps prepare you for the variety of different problems you will solve in the future. Sometimes people will become so dependent on Multisim that they have no confidence that they can get the correct answer without it.

While it is a luxury to have a program like Multisim that you can use to check your answers, a word of caution is in order. Creating new circuits and simulating them to verify your calculations are correct is a good way to hone your skills. The circuits in this book are created in a user friendly circuit drawing and simulation tool called Multisim. They are AC Circuits (published in 2017) and Electromechanical Systems. There are two follow-on eBooks in this 3-part series. These non-linear reactive components are analyzed in the transient and steady state regions in circuits with DC sources in Module 3. Module 3 introduces capacitors and inductors. Module 2 covers more difficult problem solving techniques for circuits that include only DC sources and resistors. Even though Module 1 is not very difficult, it forms the foundation for more complicated topics in Module 2 and 3 so it is important to have a firm grasp of all Module 1 topics before moving on. Module 1 covers the basics for circuits that include DC sources (voltage or current) and resistors.

This book covers Direct Current (DC) circuit theory and is broken up into three modules.
