Description
PEARSON INDIA Electric Circuits, 11/E by James W. Nilsson
Electric Circuits, 11th Edition continues to motivate students to build new ideas based on concepts previously presented, to develop problem-solving skills that rely on a solid conceptual foundation, and to introduce realistic engineering experiences that challenge students to develop the insights of a practicing engineer. The 11th Edition represents the most extensive revision with improved clarity, readability, and pedagogy-without sacrificing the breadth and depth of coverage that Electric Circuits is known for. Dr. Susan Riedel draws on her classroom experience to introduce the Analysis Methods feature, which gives students a step-by-step problem-solving approach.

Salient Features
· Practical Perspectives introduce chapters and provide real-world circuit examples. · Expanded– Assessment Problems prompt students at key points in the chapter, asking them to stop and assess their mastery of a particular objective by solving one or more assessment problems. · Expanded – Examples in every chapter illustrate the application of a particular concept and often employ an Analysis Method, and exemplify good problem-solving skills. · Updated– Fundamental Equations and Concepts are set apart from the main text to help readers focus on the key principles and help navigate through the important topics. · Integration of Computer Tools assists students in the learning process by providing a visual representation of a circuit's behavior, validating a calculated solution, reducing the computational burden of more complex circuits, and iterating toward a desired solution using parameter variation. Chapter problems suited for exploration with PSpice and Multisim are marked accordingly.
