Emphasize the Relationship between Conceptual Understanding and Problem Solving Approaches Practical Perspectives introduce chapters and provide real-world circuit examples. Every chapter begins by describing a practical application of the chapter content. At the end of each chapter, the Practical Perspective is revisited by performing a quantitative circuit analysis using the newly introduced material. New- Originating fromauthorSusan Riedel''s own classroom experience, Analysis Methods are ''recipes'' for students to help them get started on a problem with step-by-step directions that guide them to a problem''s solution. Revised-Chapter Problems reinforce problem solving as fundamental to the study of circuit analysis. Approximately 30% of the problems in the 11th edition are new or were rewritten. Build an Understanding of Concepts and Ideas Explicitly in Terms of Previous Learning Expanded-Assessment Problems prompt students at key points in the chapter, asking them to stop and assess their mastery of a particular objective by solving one or more assessment problems. Updated-Fundamental Equations and Concepts are set apart from the main text to help readers focus on the key principles and help navigate through the important topics.

Provide Students with a Strong Foundation of Engineering Practices Expanded-Examples in every chapter illustrate the concepts presented in the text in the form of a numeric example. There are nearly 200 examples in this text, an increase of about 35% when compared to the previous edition. The examples illustrate the application of a particular concept and often employ an Analysis Method, and exemplify good problem-solving skills. Integration of Computer Tools assists students in the learning process by providing a visual representation of a circuit''s behavior, validating a calculated solution, reducing the computational burden of more complex circuits, and iterating toward a desired solution using parameter variation. Chapter problems suited for exploration with PSpice and Multisim are marked accordingly. Updated-Student Workbook provides additional examples and practice problems to benefit students and cover the following material: balancing power, simple resistive circuits, node voltage method, mesh current method, Thévenin and Norton equivalents, op amp circuits, first-order circuits, second-order circuits, AC steady-state analysis, and Laplace transform circuit analysis. The Student Workbook now includes access to Video Solutions. Also available with Mastering Engineering Mastering(tm) is the teaching and learning platform that empowers you to reach every student.

By combining trusted author content with digital tools developed to engage students and emulate the office-hour experience, Mastering personalizes learning and often improves results for each student. Learn more about Mastering Engineering. Deliver trusted content: We partner with highly respected authors to develop interactive content and course-specific resources that keep students on track and engaged. Empower each learner: Each student learns at a different pace. Personalized learning, including adaptive tools and wrong-answer feedback, pinpoints the precise areas where each student needs practice and gives all students the support they need -- when and where they need it -- to be successful. New-Enhanced End-of-Chapter exercises feature wrong-answer feedback and hints that guide students, allowing them to learn from their mistakes and master difficult course concepts. Video Solutions, offer step-by-step solution walkthroughs of representative homework problems from each section of the text. Teach your course your way: Your course is unique.

So whether you''d like to build your own auto-graded assignments, foster student engagement during class, or give students anytime, anywhere access, Mastering gives you the flexibility to easily create your course to fit your needs. Improve student results: When you teach with Mastering, student performance often improves. That''s why instructors have chosen Mastering for over 15 years, touching the lives of over 20 million students. Check out the preface for a complete list of features and what''s new in this edition.
