Fundamentals Of Electric Circuits

Aims to present circuit analysis in an easier to understand manner. Here, students are introduced to the six-step problem-solving methodology, and are consistently made to apply and practice these steps in practice problems and homework problems, using the KCIDE for Circuits software.

"Alexander and Sadiku's sixth edition of Fundamentals of Electric Circuits continues in the spirit of its successful previous editions, with the objective of presenting circuit analysis in a manner that is clearer, more interesting, and easier to understand than other, more traditional texts. Students are introduced to the sound, six-step problem solving methodology in chapter one, and are consistently made to apply and practice these steps in practice problems and homework problems throughout the text."--Publisher's website.

Alexander and Sadiku's fifth edition of Fundamentals of Electric Circuits continues in the spirit of its successful previous editions, with the objective of presenting circuit analysis in a manner that is clearer, more interesting, and easier to understand than other, more traditional texts. Students are introduced to the sound, six-step problem solving methodology in chapter one, and are consistently made to apply and practice these steps in practice problems and homework problems throughout the text. A balance of theory, worked examples and extended examples, practice problems, and real-world applications, combined with over 468 new or changed homework problems for the fifth edition and robust media offerings, renders the fifth edition the most comprehensive and student-friendly approach to linear circuit analysis. This edition retains the Design a Problem feature which helps students develop their design skills by having the student develop the question as well as the solution. There are over 100 Design a Problem exercises integrated into the problem sets in the book.

This text is for use on the introductory circuit analysis or circuit theory course which is taught in electrical engineering departments. It includes pedagogical aids which reinforce the concepts learned so that students can become familiar with the methods of analysis presented.

For use in an introductory circuit analysis or circuit theory course, this text presents circuit analysis in a clear manner, with many practical applications. It demonstrates the principles, carefully explaining each step.

Alexander and Sadiku's fourth edition of Fundamentals of Electric Circuits continues in the spirit of its successful previous editions, with the objective of presenting circuit analysis in a manner that is clearer, more interesting, and easier to understand than other, more traditional texts. Students are introduced to the sound, six-step problem solving methodology in chapter one, and are consistently made to apply and practice these steps in practice problems and homework problems throughout the text. A balance of theory, worked examples and extended examples, practice problems, and real-world applications, combined with over 350 new homework problems for the fourth edition and robust media offerings, renders the fourth edition the most comprehensive and student-friendly approach to linear circuit analysis. This edition adds the Design a Problem feature which helps students develop their design skills by having the student develop the question as well as the solution. There are over 100 Design a Problem exercises integrated into the problem sets in the book. Alexander/Sadiku also offers you the convenience of ARIS -- the text-specific web site -- which allows you to assign homework online or create printed homework sets and solutions to your students. The website also features solutions and KCIDE software, which reinforces the books problem-solving approach.

Focusing on the development of fundamental skills, this new text is designed for a one-semester course in the analysis of linear circuits. The author meticulously covers the important topics within a sound pedagogical organization while minimizing unnecessary detail so that the student can develop a lasting and sound set of analysis skills. The major topics presented include the analysis of resistive circuits (including controlled sources and op amps) and the analysis of circuits in the sinusoidal steady state (phasor analysis). Emphasized also is the analysis of circuits in the time domain in response to a disturbance (switching operations and the unit step and unit impulse responses) and is developed primarily using the Laplace transform. A brief description of the classical method of solving the circuit differential equations is included.

This book is designed as an introductory course for undergraduate students, in Electrical and Electronic, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Chemical and Petroleum engineering, who need fundamental knowledge of electrical circuits. Worked out examples have been presented after discussing each theory. Practice problems have also been included to enrich the learning experience of the students and professionals. PSpice and Multisim software packages have been included for simulation of different electrical circuit parameters. A number of exercise problems have been included in the book to aid faculty members.
