For sophomore level, one- or two-semester Introductory Circuit Analysis or Circuit Theory Courses taught in Electrical or Computer Engineering Departments.

Cited by IEEE Spectrum as an "up and coming classic in the field of circuits,"Electric Circuits is the most widely used introductory circuits textbook. This revision of both text and robust supplements package features an increased emphasis on student and instructor assessment, a redesigned art program, a new four-color format, and abundant new or revised problems throughout. The Seventh Edition retains the goals that have made this text a best-seller: 1) to build an understanding of concepts and ideas explicitly in terms of previous learning; 2) to emphasize the relationship between conceptual understanding and problem solving approaches; 3) to provide students with a strong foundation of engineering practices.

This product accompanies:
Nilsson & Riedel, Electric Circuits, 8/E

Packaged free with PSpice 9.2 Manual—PSpice can be used to solve many of the exercises and problems found in the text.

Targeted Media and supplements package—Offers resources for the instructor and student that address core course need, such as: PSpice 9.2 students manual (packages free with the text), PowerPoint slides for instructors, Study Guide for each chapter, Unit Tests (four versions) for each chapter, Instructors Solutions Manual, and more.

NEW - OneKey Website with Online Homework (PHGA), Instructor Solutions Manual, and more.

NEW - Emphasis on student and instructor assessment—Utilizes text elements such as Chapter Objectives, Assessing Objectives and Practical Perspectives.
- Allows students and instructors to more easily meet the standards set by ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology). ABET requires every engineering school to demonstrate that the students are achieving certain outcomes-this is done through the process of assessment.

NEW - Four color design—Appeals to today's visual learners and aids in chapter navigation.

NEW - Triple-accuracy checked.

NEW - Redesigned art program—Maximizes the impact and clarity of each chapter's subject matter.

NEW - 75% new or revised problems—Includes PSpice problems that are identified with icons in the text.

NEW - Chapter opening photographs—Present fascinating real-world applications of the "Practical Perspective" problem that is presented.

NEW - Student Study Guide—Web-based study guide for each Chapter that focuses the reader, poses questions throughout, and suggests problems to try.

NEW - Chapter Tests—Available on the Web for instructor, who can choose to make them available to students. Each test is designed to be completed in 30 minutes and focuses on the Chapter Objectives. Four different versions of each test are provided.

NEW - Student Workbook—Available on the Web and covers nine key problem-solving techniques with detailed, step-by-step solutions, additional examples, and practice problems.
