Principles of Electric Circuits: Conventional Current Version

The book covers everything and then some. Very easy to understand, formulas are explained, this is a no brain-er!!!!Would highly recommend for class or as a self taught adventure. Has website links, i mean what else do you need. :)

I'm about to be a sophomore in college majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I haven't taken any circuit courses yet so this is all new to me. Boy, let me tell you, this is an awesome book if you're just learning. I got my used copy for 1 cent and it ended up being like 4 bucks total (including shipping.) It's a great book with not of a lot of complicated math to bogg your intuition of the subject down. Just for the price, get it!

This book explains in great detail every concept but when it comes to math , the author replaces it with an intuitive manner (such as : experimentaly it is know that ... so ... ; think at the water as being electric current ...).The only thing that can be considered as being math are formulas and some exercises (require basic calculus) , nothing more.So if you want to reach that formula by yourself then you must choose another book.The math beyond Electric Circuits in general is very simple but it seems that Floyd preffered to use those 1k pages to write aditional explanations instead of demonstrations.So this book is a great deal for those who want to begin designing.This book has a target audience but I think everyone in this field must own this because no other book has so many coloured graphs , explanations , many real electric components (schematics and descriptions) , experiments drawn in a real way.I'm glad that I bought this.I give it 4 stars because of no math (some portions requires it).

This books focuses on the fundamentals of electric circuits. It walks students very carefully through the basics of electric circuits. What I liked in particular was that the book provides examples of things like: "why would you place resistors in parallel" or "why would you place resistors in a series". It has a CD in the back that I haven't tried yet, but looks interesting. The CD has more experiments with circuits using a simulator or two.

Hi. principles of electric circuit book is very usefull book.but I would like to have a guideline for the problems in every chapter, like step by step, or problem solve guide line. plese e-mail me with the information about that. thank you.
