Electric Circuits

Description Book Information

For sophomore level, one- or two-semester Introductory Circuit Analysis or Circuit Theory Courses taught in Electrical or Computer Engineering Departments.

Cited by IEEE Spectrum as an "up and coming classic in the field of circuits,"Electric Circuits is the most widely used introductory circuits textbook. This revision of both text and robust supplements package features an increased emphasis on student and instructor assessment, a redesigned art program, a new four-color format, and abundant new or revised problems throughout.

The Ninth Edition retains the goals that have made this text a best-seller:

1) builds an understanding of concepts and ideas explicitly in terms of previous learning;

2) emphasizes the relationship between conceptual understanding and problem solving approaches;

3) provides students with a strong foundation of engineering practices.


New! Introduction to Multisim manual for Electric Circuits, ISBN: 9780132132343

144 page companion manual uses Multisim software to solve many of Nilsson & Riedel’s Electric Circuits, 9e Assessment Problems and Chapter Problems.  The manual was designed as a supplement to stand on its own as an instructional unit.

Additional Multisim Resources
