Dorf S Introduction To Electric Circuits

Dorf’s Introduction to Electric Circuits, Global Edition, is designed for a one- to -three term course in electric circuits or linear circuit analysis. The book endeavors to help students who are being exposed to electric circuits for the first time and prepares them to solve realistic problems involving these circuits. Abundant design examples, design problems, and the How Can We Check feature illustrate the text’s focus on design. The Global Edition continues the expanded use of problem-solving software such as PSpice and MATLAB.

The central theme of Introduction to Electric Circuits is the concept that electric circuits are a part of the basic fabric of modern technology. Given this theme, this book endeavors to show how the analysis and design of electric circuits are inseparably intertwined with the ability of the engineer to design complex electronic, communication, computer and control systems as well as consumer products.This book is designed for a one-to three-term course in electric circuits or linear circuit analysis, and is structured for maximum flexibility.

Dorf and Svoboda's text builds on the strength of previous editions with its emphasis on real-world problems that give students insight into the kinds of problems that electrical and computer engineers are currently addressing. Students encounter a wide variety of applications within the problems and benefit from the author team's enormous breadth of knowledge of leading edge technologies and theoretical developments across Electrical and Computer Engineering's subdisciplines.

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.

Praised for its highly accessible, real-world approach, the Sixth Edition demonstrates how the analysis and design of electric circuits are inseparably intertwined with the ability of the engineer to design complex electronic, communication, computer, and control systems as well as consumer products. The book offers numerous design problems and MATLAB examples, and focuses on the circuits that we encounter everyday. It contains a new integration of interactive examples and problem solving, which helps readers understand circuit analysis concepts in an interactive way.CD-ROM offers exercises, interactive illustrations, and a circuit design lab that allows users to experiment with different circuits.· Electric Circuit Variables · Circuit Elements · Resistive Circuits · Methods of Analysis of Resistive Circuits · Circuit Theorems · The Operational Amplifier · Energy Storage Elements · The Complete Response of RL and RC Circuits · The Complete Response of Circuits with Two Energy Storage Elements · Sinusoidal Steady-State Analysis · AC Steady-State Power · Three-Phase Circuits · Frequency Response · The Laplace Transform · Fourier Series and Fourier Transform · Filter Circuits · Two-Port and Three-Port Networks

The fourth edition of this work continues to provide a thorough perspctive of the subject, communicated through a clear explanation of the concepts and techniques of electric circuits. This edition was developed with keen attention to the learning needs of students. It includes illustrations that have been redesigned for clarity, new problems and new worked examples. Margin notes in the text point out the option of integrating PSpice with the provided Introduction to PSpice; and an instructor's roadmap (for instructors only) serves to classify homework problems by approach. The author has also given greater attention to the importance of circuit memory in electrical engineering, and to the role of electronics in the electrical engineering curriculum.
