Key Features
Practical Perspectives introduce chapters and provide real-world circuit examples.
Expanded– Assessment Problems prompt students at key points in the chapter, asking them to stop and assess their mastery of a particular objective by solving one or more assessment problems.
Expanded – Examples in every chapter illustrate the application of a particular concept and often employ an Analysis Method, and exemplify good problem-solving skills.Updated– Fundamental Equations and Concepts are set apart from the main text to help readers focus on the key principles and help navigate through the important topics.
Integration of Computer Tools assists students in the learning process by providing a visual representation of a circuit’s behavior, validating a calculated solution, reducing the computational burden of more complex circuits, and iterating toward a desired solution using parameter variation. Chapter problems suited for exploration with PSpice and Multisim are marked accordingly.
