Known for its clear problem-solving methodology and its emphasis on design, as well as the quality and quantity of its problem sets, Introduction to Electric Circuits, 9e by Svoboda and Dorf will help you teach students to “think like engineers.” Abundant design examples, design problems, and the “How Can We Check” feature illustrate the text’s focus on design. The supporting online WileyPLUS learning environment enables the assignment and assessment of specific concepts using a full range of pedagogical features. The 9th edition continues the expanded use of problem-solving software such as PSpice and MATLAB. The 9th edition also includes 140 new problems and 30 new examples, while learning objectives have also been added to each chapter and section.
Key Features
- Presents a thorough overview of circuit theory and design that develops students’ ability to “think like an engineer.”
- Over 1300 problems including: basic analysis problems, compare and contrast problems, multipart problems, MATLAB and PSpice problems, and design problems.
- Each chapter concludes with a design example that uses a formal, five-step problem solving methodology.
- “How Can We Check” sections, teach students to assess their own work for correctness, and are included in each chapter.
- More than 260 illustrative examples demonstrate multiple approaches to solving similar problems.
- The WileyPLUS learning environment provides robust resources for self-evaluation of student progress and assessment of learning outcomes.
New to this edition
- Major update of Chapter 10, Sinusoidal Steady-State Analysis.
- Expanded use of problem-solving software PSpice and MATLAB.
- More end-of-chapter problems coded in WileyPLUS. The WileyPLUS online learning environment contains hundreds of problems with randomized variables, supporting student practice and faculty assessment of student progress and challenges.
- 180 Worked examples across all chapters in the text are also coded as WileyPLUS algorithmic problems, so students can practice on variations of the same approach demonstrated in the text.
- 140 new problems and 30 new examples have been added to the text.
