Introduction to Electric Circuits

Dorf’s Introduction to Electric Circuits, Global Edition, is designed for a one- to -three term course in electric circuits or linear circuit analysis. The book endeavors to help students who are being exposed to electric circuits for the first time and prepares them to solve realistic problems involving these circuits. Abundant design examples, design problems, and the How Can We Check feature illustrate the text’s focus on design. The Global Edition continues the expanded use of problem-solving software such as PSpice and MATLAB.

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.
    New problems and New examples have been added to the text.

Key Features:

  • Presents a thorough overview of circuit theory and design that develops students’ ability to “think like an engineer.”
  • 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.
  • 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.
