Known for its clear problem-solving methodology and it emphasis on design, as well as the quality and quantity of its problem sets, Introduction to Electric Circuits, Ninth Edition by Dorf and Svoboda will help readers to think like engineers. Abundant design examples, design problems, and the How Can We Check feature illustrate the texts focus on design. The 9th edition continues the expanded use of problem-solving software such as PSpice and MATLAB.

First published in 1959, this classic work has been used as a core text by hundreds of thousands of college and university students enrolled in introductory circuit analysis courses. Acclaimed for its clear, concise explanations of difficult concepts, its comprehensive problem sets and exercises, and its authoritative coverage, this edition also covers the latest developments in the field. With extensive new coverage of AC and DC motors and generators; a wealth of exercises, diagrams, and photos; and over 150 Multisim circuit simulations on an accompanying CD, Introduction to Electric Circuits, Updated Ninth Edition, is the essential text for introducing electric circuits.

An Introduction to Electric Circuits is essential reading for first year students of electronics and electrical engineering who need to get to grips quickly with the basic theory. This text is a comprehensive introduction to the topic and, assuming virtually no knowledge, it keeps the mathematical content to a minimum.As with other textbooks in the series, the format of this book enables the student to work at their own pace. It includes numerous worked examples throughout the text and graded exercises, with answers, at the end of each section.

Providing an introductory, yet comprehensive, treatment of the analysis and design of electric circuits, this book emphasizes good engineering practice. It covers electric circuit elements, principles of circuit analysis, and the necessary theorems and formulas. Most topics are well motivated with historical material, and each chapter includes a short essay on electrical engineering history and current practice, a preview of topics covered, a summary, a summary design problem, and a glossary. The text contains over 150 illustrative examples, and 150 exercises and 400 homework problems, many with answers at the back of the book.

This book is designed for a one- to three-term course in electric circuits or linear circuit analysis and is structured for maximum flexibility . The central theme of Introduction to Electric Circuits is the concept that electric circuits are part of the basic fabric of modern technology. The presentation is geared to readers who are being exposed to the basic concepts of electric circuits for the first time, and the scope of the work is broad. Students should come to the course with the basic knowledge of differential and integral calculus. This book endeavors to prepare the reader to solve realistic problems involving electric circuits. Thus, circuits are shown to be the results of real inventions and the answers to real needs in industry, the office, and the home. The WileyPLUS learning environment provides robust resources for self-evaluation of student progress and assessment of learning outcomes. Note: The ebook version does not provide access to the companion files.
