Electric Circuits

Electric Circuits is the most widely used introductory circuits reference book of the past decade. The book has remained popular due to its success in implementing three themes throughout: (1) It builds an understanding of concepts based on information the reader has previously learned; (2) The book helps stress the relationship between conceptual understanding and problem-solving approaches; (3) The authors provide numerous examples and problems that use realistic values and situations, giving the reader a strong foundation of engineering practice. FEATURES/BENEFITS *PSpice Supplement contains problems to teach how to construct PSpice source files-PSpice can be used to solve many of the exercises and problems found in the book.
