Electric Circuits provides thorough coverage of circuit analysis and circuit theory. It presents key concepts in a natural progression, helping you build on your knowledge steadily. Step-by-step analysis methods provide a solid foundation for you to develop your problem-solving skills. Over 1200 problems and nearly 200 examples introduce realistic engineering experiences that prepare you to develop the insights of a practicing engineer.
The 12th Edition includes all new assessment problems with answers. Assessment problems give you a chance to reflect on the material and test how well you know key concepts. Completely updated end-of-chapter problems offer even more opportunities for you to problem solve and practice.
- Analysis Methods offer step-by-step directions to guide students to a problem's solution.
- Practical Perspectives introduce real-world circuit examples. Practical applications are demonstrated by performing a quantitative circuit analysis.
- Fundamental Equations and Concepts are set apart to focus on key principles and navigate through important topics.
- Examples illustrate concepts in the form of a numeric example. Nearly 200 examples apply a particular concept, often employ an Analysis Method, and exemplify good problem-solving skills.
- Integration of PSpice and Multisim, popular computer tools for circuit simulation and analysis. Problems suited for exploration with PSpice and Multisim are marked accordingly.
Breadth, depth and variety of problems
- NEW/UPDATED: 1200 Chapter Problems reinforce problem solving as fundamental to the study of circuit analysis. Nearly all existing problems were revised, and some new problems were added.
- NEW: Assessment Problems let students stop at key points in a chapter and assess their mastery of an objective by applying it to solve 1 or more problems. Every Assessment Problem is new to the 12th Edition and comes with answers to all parts of the problem posed.
