Known for its practical emphasis on design, solid examples, and real-world problems, Dorf and Svoboda’s seventh edition of Electric Circuits introduces students to circuit analysis and builds the problem-solving skills necessary to an engineer’s success within a framework that students find approachable. Students are introduced to key topics through realistic examples that provide precise mathematical solutions to practical problems, and students benefit from new “How Can We Check…” Examples (evolved from the former Verification Examples/Problems) that illustrate useful techniques for checking solutions, many provide hints and answers to guide the student. Design Examples in each chapter offer a step-by-step problem-solving methodology to a more complex, real-world design problem.
Students benefit from over 400 new and revised problems and examples. The Electric Circuit Study applets have evolved into Interactive Exercises and Examples which directly help students build their confidence, and apply and learn the steps neces-sary to successfully complete Homework Problems. The authors continue to integrate PSpice and MATLAB in the seventh edition. An integrated online learning environment, Wiley PLUS, offers a full e-text, classroom management capabilities, and problem-solving support for students that integrates the Interactive Homework Problems and Examples, PSpice and MATLAB exercises. A Wiley PLUS Premium will also be available that will include the Pspice for Linear Circuits supplement as an integrated component.

- Brand new pedagogical design includes chapter openers highlighting the key learning goals along with Section Contents providing a roadmap, the plethora of Examples are now boxed and shaded to pop out more clearly as well as titled for clear recognition to assist in further student understanding, key definitions and equations are now called out and high-lighted with new shaded box design, bulleted chapter summaries, and now Matlab sections can be easily accessed with shaded pages.
- With the power of Wiley PLUS, we have propelled the online experience to a new level thoroughly integrating the text, interactive examples and interactive homework, and more:
o We are offering various models for this revision, standard print text with Book Companion Site assets, Wiley PLUS packaged with text, Wiley PLUS ONLY option, and Wiley PLUS premium options.
o We offer an integrated (text/online) product based on trusted text content, problem-solving methods reinforced through the use of dynamic examples (applets called Interactive Examples), endless practice with immediate feed-back (applets called interactive exercises), Interactive LearningWare to help with visualization of difficult topics (one per chapter), and simulations offered as a suite of learning & teaching materials.
oNot only do we rival the number of homework problems and examples in our printed text, through the Wiley PLUS platform we are offering a plethora homework types:
-Algorithmic/Randomized Variables
-Mastery Style homework
-Multi Part text problems
-Quizzing Applets which can be used as pre/post test, reading quizzes, self-tests or graded quizzes by the Pro-fessor -
We will also offer a fully integrated solution manual option customizable within Wiley PLUS all the way down to the individual problem level. This meets a specific course need for faculty. The need to provide one solution at a time to students.
-
Problem-Solving Emphasis
-Approximately 400 new and revised problems and examples
-Interactive Homework Problems (Electric Circuit Study Applets), 26 problem sets, provide the student with prompt feedback. These are identified throughout the within various Worked Examples as well as with many homework exercises, and are noted in the text with an icon and integrated into Wiley PLUS. -
Emphasis on Design—each chapter contains a Design Example––using a step-by-step, problem-solving methodology that students can use as a resource and guide. The 7th edition Design Examples are presented within the chapter rather than the chapter openers as in previous editions.
· The text includes hundreds of exercises and problems to reinforce material, with liberally provided hints and answers.
· Integration of PSpice and MATLABâ sections that show how to solve circuit problems provide strong technology inte-gration.
· Flexible text organization includes a flowchart demonstrating alternative chapter organizations that can accommodate dif-ferent course outlines without disrupting continuity.
