Computer Simulated Experiments for Electric Circuits Using Electronics Workbench

This laboratory manual aims to help students learn and understand circuit analysis concepts by using Electronic Workbench software to simulate actual laboratory experiments on a computer. Students work with circuits drawn on the computer screen and with simulated instruments which act like actual laboratory instruments. Circuits can be modified easily with on-screen editing, and analysis results provide fast, accurate feedback. The manual offers a hands-on in approach, in both interactive experiments and a series of questions about the results of each experiment. This method provides a more cost-effective, safe and efficient learning process than using hardwired experiments. The manual can be sold for use with any DC/AC text. An accompanying disk contains all of the circuits needed to perform the experiments on Electronics Workbench version 4.

This unique and innovative laboratory manual helps readers learn and understand circuit analysis concepts by using Electronic Workbench software to simulate actual laboratory experiments on a computer. Readers work with circuits drawn on the computer screen and with simulated instruments that act like actual laboratory instruments. Circuits can be modified easily with on-screen editing, and analysis results provide fast, accurate feedback. “Hands-on” in approach throughout — in both interactive experiments and a series of questions about the results of each experiment — it is more cost effective, safer, and more thorough and efficient than using hardwired experiments.
