Fundamentals of Electric Circuits

Fundamentals of electric circuits continues in the spirit of its successful previous editions with the objective of presenting circuit analysis in a manner that is clearer, more interesting and easier to understand than other more traditional texts. Students are introduced to the sound six-step problem solving methodology in Chapter one and are consistently made to apply and practice these steps in practice problems and homework problems throughout the text. A balance of theory, worked extended examples, practice problems and real-world applications combined with over 468 new or changed homework problems complete this edition. This book retains the "design a problem" Feature which helps students develop their design skills by having the student develop the question as well as the solution. Salient features: there are now more than 2, 400 Problems provided in this text with over 450 new homework problems. This also includes 121 "design a problem" Exercises. the six-step problem solving methodology is introduced in Chapter one and carried throughout the entire text and media supplements to promote sound problem-solving practices. each illustrative example is immediately followed by a practice Problem and answer, to test the understanding of the preceding example.
