Publisher: Prentice Hall, 2000

This acclaimed book offers a thorough, practical introduction to dc/ac analysis geared to entry-level technicians and engineers. Floyd's comprehensive treatment focuses on fundamental principles and their applications to solving real circuit analysis problems, limiting mathematics to what's needed for understanding. Floyd uses straightforward explanations and a strong troubleshooting emphasis to provide the problem-solving experience readers need in a style that makes complex material thoroughly understandable. DC circuits—components, series circuits and parallel circuits. AC circuits—including capacitors and inductors and Electronic Devices—including semiconductors, transistors and amplifiers. For entry-level electrical technicians and engineers and others interested in the fundamentals of electronics.

From the Publisher:

All of the excellent circuits coverage of this author's Electric Circuits Fundamentals, Third Edition PLUS six full chapters on devices! Floyd's comprehensive treatment of elecric circuits fundamentals is here teamed with six chapters devoted specifically to the type of electronic devices, and applications, students are likely to encounter on the job. The focus is on fundamental principles and solving real circuit analysis problems. As with Floyd's other texts, mathematics is limited to what's needed for understanding, while straightforward explanations and a strong trouble-shooting emphasis offer the problem-solving experience students need.

From the Back Cover:

• Margin icons indicate text circuits that are rendered in Electronics Workbench™ and CircuitMaker® on the CD-ROM packaged with each text.
• New EWB/CircuitMaker Troubleshooting Problems.
• New Safety Notes indicate key information that students can transfer to their laboratory experience.Capacitors (Chapter9) and RC circuits (Chapter 10) are covered in sequence, followed by inductors (Chapter 11), RL circuits (Chapter 12), and RLC circuits and resonance (Chapter 13). Transformers (Chapter 14) now follows RLC circuits and resonance.
• A new, easier-to-read text design and use of color help students locate key information for review.
• Chapter Objectives, an Introduction, Key Terms, and Application Assignments precede each chapter to offer students an overview of the applications they will be able to complete by chapter's end.
• Section Reviews follow each chapter section to reinforce concepts and check for understanding.
• Numerous in-chapter examples illustrate a variety of areas where concepts can be applied.
• End-of-chapter problems are separated by chapters section and level of difficulty, allowing students to progress with their problem-solving skills in a step-by-step manner.
