Summary: Publisher Summary 1 New edition of an introductory text that provides a solid foundation in circuit analysis. The 26 chapters cover current and voltage; resistance; Ohm's 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)   Publisher Summary 2 THEmost 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. PSpice, OrCAd version 9.2 Lite Edition, Multisims 2001 version of Electronics Workbench, and MathCad software references and examples are used throughout.
