Description

Introductory Circuit Analysis provides the following features to facilitate learning:

  • Imperative reorganization involved:
    • The removal of chapter 26 covering the seldom-used topic of Systems Analysis.
    • The breaking up of chapter 15 into two chapters, Series and Parallel AC networks, to reinforce the importance of this subject matter and helps students understand it. Example problems and supplementary computer coverage of the topics have also been expanded.
  • Calculator Coverage includes detailed steps throughout the text that guide students in performing difficult equations on Texas Instrument’s TI-89 graphing calculator.
  • Over 100 pieces of critical new field developments have been inserted into the text, including:
    • The improved efficiency level of solar panels.
    • The growing use of fuel cells in applications at home, in cars, and in a variety of portable systems.
    • The introduction of smart meters to the residential and industrial world.
    • The use of lumens to define lighting needs.
    • The use of LEDs over fluorescent CFLs and incandescent lamps.
    • The growing popularity of inverters and converters in many aspects of our everyday lives, as well as in a variety of charts, graphs, and tables.
    • Expanded coverage of shorts and open circuits.
    • A total revision of derivatives and their impact on specific quantities.
    • Recent applications of superconductors, and many more.
  • Problem Sections at the end of each chapter have been updated with new information to reinforce understanding of major concepts.
    • Reorganization has put problems in order from least to most difficult, with the most difficult questions indicated by an asterisk.
    • Lengthy problems have been broken up into different sections to encourage a step-by-step problem-solving approach.
  • The Laboratory Manual has been extensively updated to provide additional examples of experiments that apply the subject matter.
  • Approximately 300 beautiful new photos and illustrations color the text.
  • Computer Software supplements such as Cadance’s OrCAD version 16.6 (PSpice) and Multisim have been updated and include over 90 clear printouts that cover and guide the use of each program.
  • Computer Sections have been expanded to verify experimental results and to demonstrate how the computer can be used as an additional piece of laboratory equipment.

The primary objectives of this revision of the laboratory manual include insuring that the procedures are clear, that the results clearly support the theory, and that the laboratory experience results in a level of confidence in the use of the testing equipment commonly found in the industrial environment.

 

For those curriculums devoted to a dc analysis one semester and an ac analysis the following semester there are more experiments for each subject than can be covered in a single semester. The result is the opportunity to pick and choose those experiments that are more closely related to the curriculum of the college or university. All of the experiments have been run and tested during the 13 editions of the text with changes made as needed. The result is a set of laboratory experiments that should have each step clearly defined and results that closely match the theoretical solutions.

 

Two experiments were added to the ac section to provide the opportunity to make measurements that were not included in the original set. Developed by Professor David Krispinsky of Rochester Institute of Technology they match the same format of the current laboratory experiments and cover the material clearly and concisely. All the experiments are designed to be completed in a two or three hour laboratory session. In most cases, the write-up is work to be completed between laboratory sessions. Most institutions begin the laboratory session with a brief introduction to the theory to be substantiated and the use of any new equipment to be used in the session.
