New edition of an introductory text that provides a solid foundation in circuit analysis. The 26 chapters cover current and voltage; resistance; Ohms Law, power, and energy; series, parallel, and magnetic circuits; series-parallel networks; methods of analysis and selected topics (ac and dc); network theorems (ac and dc); capacitors; inductors; sinusoidal alternating waveforms; basic elements and phasors; power (ac); resonance; transformers; polyphase systems; decibels, filters, and bode plots; pulse waveforms and the R-C response; nonsinusoidal circuits; and an introduction to system analysis. For the most part, major changes involve material related to computer software. The included CD-ROM contains 96 circuit files in both Electronics Workbench Version 5 and Multisim, as well as a textbook edition of Multisim. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) THE most widely acclaimed introduction to circuit analysis for more than three decades. Features exceptionally clear explanations and descriptions, step-by-step examples, more than 50 practical applications, over 2000 easy-to-challenging practice problems, and comprehensive coverage of essentials.
