Known for its practical emphasis on design, solid examples, and real-world problems, Dorf and Svoboda’s seventh edition of Electric Circuits introduces students to circuit analysis and builds the problem-solving skills necessary to an engineer’s success within a framework that students find approachable.  Students are introduced to key topics through realistic examples that provide precise mathematical solutions to practical problems, and students benefit from new “How Can We Check…” Examples (evolved from the former Verification Examples/Problems) that illustrate useful techniques for checking solutions, many provide hints and answers to guide the student.  Design Examples in each chapter offer a step-by-step problem-solving methodology to a more complex, real-world design problem.

Students benefit from over 400 new and revised problems and examples.  The Electric Circuit Study applets have evolved into Interactive Exercises and Examples which directly help students build their confidence, and apply and learn the steps neces-sary to successfully complete Homework Problems.  The authors continue to integrate PSpice and MATLAB in the seventh edition.  An integrated online learning environment, Wiley PLUS, offers a full e-text, classroom management capabilities, and problem-solving support for students that integrates the Interactive Homework Problems and Examples, PSpice and MATLAB exercises. A Wiley PLUS Premium will also be available that will include the Pspice for Linear Circuits supplement as an integrated component.
