Electric Circuits, Tenth Edition, is designed for use in a one or two-semester Introductory Circuit Analysis or Circuit Theory Course taught in Electrical or Computer Engineering Departments. This title is also suitable for readers seeking an introduction to electric circuits.

Electric Circuits is the most widely used introductory circuits textbook of the past 25 years. As this book has evolved to meet the changing learning styles of students, the underlying teaching approaches and philosophies remain unchanged.

Professor JAMES W NILSSON taught at Iowa State University for 39 years. Since retiring from Iowa State, he has been a visiting professor at Notre Dame, California Polytechnic at San Luis Obispo, and the United States Air Force Academy. In 1962, he co-authored (with R.G. Brown) Introduction to Linear Systems Analysis (John Wiley & Sons). In 1968, he authored Introduction to Circuits, Instruments, and Electronics (Harcourt Brae and World). Professor Nilsson received a Standard Oil Outstanding Teacher Award in 1968, the IEEE Undergraduate Teaching Award in 1992, and the McGraw-Hill Jacob Millman Award in 1995. In 1990, he was elected to the rank of Fellow in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

Professor SUSAN A. RIEDEL has been a member of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Marquette University since 1981. She also holds a clinical research appointment in the Department of Orthopaedics at the Medical College of Wisconsin and was a visiting professor in the Bioengineering Unit at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland, as a Fulbright Scholar during the 1989-90 academic year. She has received two awards for teaching excellence at Marquette, and was recognized for her research contributions with an award from the Chicago Unit of the Shriner's Hospitals.

Personalize Learning with Individualized Coaching: MasteringEngineering provides students with wrong-answer specific feedback and hints as they work through tutorial homework problems.Emphasize the Relationship between Conceptual Understanding and Problem Solving Approaches: Chapter Problems and Practical Perspectives illustrate how the generalized techniques presented in a first-year circuit analysis course relate to problems faced by practicing engineers.Build an Understanding of Concepts and Ideas Explicitly in Terms of Previous Learning: Assessment Problems and Fundamental Equations and Concepts help students focus on the key principles in electric circuits.Provide Students with a Strong Foundation of Engineering Practices: Computer tools, examples, and supplementary workbooks assist students in the learning process.

Texts: Electrical Circuits 10E, James Nilsson,Addison-Wesley Publishing Company
Tools: An electronic protoboard/breadboard and a scientific calculatorwith trig, exponential and polar to rectangular functions, preferablywith simultaneous equation solution capability.

This is an introductory course, and as such, it assumesthat you know very little about electricity. No previous coursework in electricity or electronics is required. Basic electricalconcepts such as voltage, current, power, and resistance are introducedand examined for DC (direct current) and AC (alternating current).Fundamental laws and relationshipssuch as Ohm's law and power law are developed. Analysis techniquesinclude series-parallel simplification; Thevenin's, Norton's, andsuperposition theorems; and mesh and nodal analysis. A goodscientific calculator with simultaneous equation solutioncapability will be of great use and is strongly recommended. Further,smart devices will not be allowed during tests. Unless otherwisespecified, alllab exercises require a technicalreport due no later than one week after the exercise. Latepenalty is one letter grade for the first half week, two lettergrades for the second half week. Reports are not accepted beyondtwo weeks and receive a grade of 0. Remember, plagiarism is groundsfor failure.

1Webegin with an introduction to electrical quantities such as charge,current, voltage, power, resistance, conductance and impedance. Wedefine voltage and current sources, both independent and dependent.
