Electric Circuits, Global Edition

For introductory courses in circuit analysis/theory.

Electric Circuits provides thorough coverage of circuit analysis and theory. It presents key concepts in a natural progression, motivating students to build on their knowledge. Step-by-step analysis methods provide a solid foundation for students to develop their problem-solving skills. Over 1200 problems and nearly 200 examples introduce realistic engineering experiences that challenge students to develop the insights of a practicing engineer.

The 12th Edition includes all new assessment problems with answers and completely updated end-of-chapter problems.

• Analysis Methods offer step-by-step directions to guide students to a problem's solution.
• Practical Perspectives introduce real-world circuit examples. Practical applications are demonstrated by performing a quantitative circuit analysis.
• Fundamental Equations and Concepts are set apart to focus on key principles and navigate through important topics.
• Examples illustrate concepts in the form of a numeric example. Nearly 200 examples apply a particular concept, often employ an Analysis Method, and exemplify good problem-solving skills.
• Integration of PSpice and Multisim, popular computer tools for circuit simulation and analysis. Problems suited for exploration with PSpice and Multisim are marked accordingly.

Breadth, depth and variety of problems

• NEW/UPDATED: 1200 Chapter Problems reinforce problem solving as fundamental to the study of circuit analysis. Nearly all existing problems were revised, and some new problems were added.
• NEW: Assessment Problems let students stop at key points in a chapter and assess their mastery of an objective by applying it to solve 1 or more problems. Every Assessment Problem is new to the 12th edition and comes with answers to all parts of the problem posed.
