Description

For conventional flow courses in DC/AC Circuits in two- or four-year technology and engineering programs.

THE most widely acclaimed text in the field for more than three decades, Introductory Circuit Analysis provides introductory-level students with the most thorough, understandable presentation of circuit analysis available. Exceptionally clear explanations and descriptions, step-by-step examples, practical applications, and comprehensive coverage of essentials provide students with a solid, accessible foundation.

Features

NEW - OrCAD version 9.2 Lite Edition— (by Cadence Design Systems). Now used by all the PSpice material.
- Introduces students to the power and versatility of the newest edition.

NEW - Multisim 2001 circuit files added to EWB CD—Circuit simulation CD included in text.
- Contains files for BOTH EWB 5.0 and Multisim 2001, as well as the Enhanced Textbook Edition of Multisim to read the provided files.

NEW - MathCad software references and examples—Sprinkled throughout.
- Demonstrates how easy it is to use and the power of its mathematics.

NEW - Reordering of Chs. 21 through 25—As well as sections within them. Coverage now flows from Transformers to Polyphase Systems, to Decibels, Filters, and Bode Points, to Pulse Waveforms and the R-C Response, to Nonsinusoidial Circuits, to System Analysis: An Introduction. Material that was often glossed over or not covered at all was moved to the end of the chapters.
- Chapter order now better matches the sequence appearing in most course outlines. Moving optional material to the end of chapters prevents students from getting bogged down in some of the less important material.

NEW - Reordering of sections in chapters on Capacitors and Magnetic Circuits.
- Allows instructors to get to the important general equations for transient behavior earlier in the material.

NEW - Revised practical examples.
- Brings them up-to-date and broadens their areas of application.

NEW - Revised terminology— “eff” was replaced by rms throughout the ac section and the letters A, B, and C replaced by X, Y, and Z.
- Improves the transition for complex numbers to the ac domain.

Clear, precise explanations and an abundance of examples.
- Makes content accessible to introductory-level students.

Over 50 practical applications and discussions complete with photos—Unique in approach, content, and listing.
- Attracts students' interest and provides practical information about the topics they have just studied.

Integrated coverage of PSpice (Windows)—PSpice problems appear in every chapter, and support for use of the software is provided in an appendix.
- Helps students understand the differences in capability between PSpice, a software tool, and a computer language, and why an understanding of both is essential in the field.

Computer programs (C++, BASIC and PSpice)—Printed in color, as they run, at the point in the book where they are discussed.
- Shows students alternative methods of circuit analysis.

Exceptionally comprehensive coverage of specific theorems—The most extensive coverage of important theorems available today. Experimental methods are included along with practical applications of each theorem.
- Ensures a complete and correct understanding of the impact of each theorem.

Hundreds of homework problems—More than 2,000 in all—divided by difficulty into easy “start up” problems, intermediate level problems, and those that require higher-level thinking.
- Gives students extensive opportunities for practice, challenge, and testing their comprehension on a variety of levels.

Extensive, functional use of color—Highlights key concepts, equations, figures and tables, chapter openings, and problem sections in color.
- Helps students focus on what's important while studying and serves as a quick-reference to important concepts and equations during review.

Portraits and biographies of major figures in the field.
- Exposes students to the diversity of people involved in the development of circuit analysis.
