Dorf S Introduction To Electric Circuits

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’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.

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.

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.

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
