Fundamentals of Electric Circuits

Fundamentals of Electric Circuits, Seventh Edition provides a comprehensive introduction for students taking their first course in electric circuits at the college level. Assuming no previous knowledge, the text begins with explanations of basic concepts, then progresses through simple resistive circuit calculations to complex ac network analysis techniques. Students are also taught practical skills, including how to use common electrical instruments. Straightforward, informatively captioned illustrations demonstrate and clarify each new concept and analysis method. Learning is reinforced with an array of calculation examples, review questions, and problem sets. This text has everything to give students a solid foundation in the full spectrum of electric circuit topics.
