About this title

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.
