Summary

Stay focused on the fundamentals with Paull Offering a new, focused approach to circuit analysis, Clayton Paul's Paul's Fundamentals of Electric Circuit Analysis helps readers master essential circuit analysis skills in a one-semester course. Paul covers all the important topics, while minimizing unnecessary detail, so that students can develop a lasting set of valuable analysis skills. Focused on basic skills . The text emphasizes the three most important electric circuit analysis skills: * Resistive circuit analysis, including controlled sources and op amps * Analysis of circuits in the sinusoidal steady state (the phasor method) * Analysis of circuits in the time domain in response to a disturbance (switching operations and the unit step and unit impulse responses) Focused on student success . Fundamentals of Electric Circuit Analysis provides the learning tools readers need to succeed in circuit analysis. Throughout the text, you'll find: * Example Problems that illustrate each new technique or concept * Exercise Problems that allow readers to apply what they've learned * Real-world application examples * Coverage of circuit analysis tools, such as Spice (PSpice) and Matlab Focused on quality . Maintaining a firm commitment to quality, the author has meticulously reviewed all text material, problems, and solutions. The result is a text that offers accurate content, not distracting errors.
