Title overview

Electric Circuits provides thorough coverage of circuit analysis and circuit theory. It presents key concepts in a natural progression, helping you build on your knowledge steadily. Step-by-step analysis methods provide a solid foundation for you to develop your problem-solving skills. Over 1200 problems and nearly 200 examples introduce realistic engineering experiences that prepare you to develop the insights of a practicing engineer. 

The 12th Edition includes all new assessment problems with answers. Assessment problems give you a chance to reflect on the material and test how well you know key concepts. Completely updated end-of-chapter problems offer even more opportunities for you to problem solve and practice.
