How NI Technology is Used: The attached Multisim circuit files explore exercises from the 8th editon of Electric Circuits.

For sophomore level, one- or two-semester Introductory Circuit Analysis or Circuit Theory Courses taught in Electrical or Computer Engineering Departments.

Cited by IEEE Spectrum as an "up and coming classic in the field of circuits,"Electric Circuits is the most widely used introductory circuits textbook. This revision of both text and robust supplements package features an increased emphasis on student and instructor assessment, a redesigned art program, a new four-color format, and abundant new or revised problems throughout.

The Eighth Edition retains the goals that have made this text a best-seller:

1) builds an understanding of concepts and ideas explicitly in terms of previous learning;

2) emphasizes the relationship between conceptual understanding and problem solving approaches;

3) provides students with a strong foundation of engineering practices.

Additional Multisim Resources
