Principles of Electric Circuits is a breakthrough introductory text that brings clarity and precision to the study of basic electronics. Enhanced comprehensive approach This edition incorporates additional examples, safety notes, tech tips, checkup questions, history notes, new illustrations, new and revised problems, an expanded glossary, key terms, and biographies of famous people to provide learners with all the tools needed for a thorough understanding of the subject.Inclusion of LTSpice This includes two examples of Bode plots with both Multisim and LTSpice results.New devices and applications This edition introduces learners to magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM), magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generators, and wave traps in power line carrier communications (PLCC).
Solving problems using a graphing calculator This edition features examples of step-by-step procedures for solving problems with the TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator, including graphing examples, matrix algebra, and phasors. The book also includes expanded discussion of SMD resistors, resistor power ratings, batteries, thermal imaging, ferrites and ferrite beads, contactors, and motor starters. Discussion on new instruments Use of arbitrary function generators (AFGs), arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs), oscilloscopes and probes, gaussmeters, LCR meters, thermal imaging devices, and current pulser and tracers have all been covered at length.
