Synopses & Reviews
For courses in Electric Circuits.
This unique and innovative laboratory manual helps students learn and understand circuit analysis concepts by using Electronic Workbench software to simulate actual laboratory experiments on a computer. Students work with circuits drawn on the computer screen and with simulated instruments that act like actual laboratory instruments. Circuits can be modified easily with on-screen editing, and analysis results provide fast, accurate feedback. “Hands-on” in approach throughout – in both interactive experiments and a series of questions about the results of each experiment – it is more cost effective, safer, and more thorough and efficient than using hardwired experiments. This lab manual can be sold for use with any DC/AC text.
Note: This book no longer comes with a CD. Any reference to a CD within the book is out of date and will be updated on our next printing.

Synopsis
This unique and innovative laboratory manual helps readers learn and understand circuit analysis concepts by using Electronic Workbench software to simulate actual laboratory experiments on a computer. Users work with circuits drawn on the computer screen and with simulated instruments that act like actual laboratory instruments. Circuits can be modified easily with on-screen editing, and analysis results provide fast, accurate feedback. ¿Hands-on¿ in approach throughout—in both interactive experiments and a series of questions about the results of each experiment—it is more cost effective, safer, and more thorough and efficient than using hardwired experiments. Uses MulitiSim to simulate dc and ac electric circuit experiments on a computer screen using simulated instruments to make circuit measurements, recreating a real laboratory environment. A materials list and circuit diagrams is included in each experiment so that the experiments can be used in a hardwired laboratory environment in addition to the computer simulations. Experiment Theory sections contain all of the technical information needed to do the calculations and answer the questions. A series of circuits with faults is stored on the accompanying disk and is included at the end of many of the experiments. For the assistance in the study of Electric Circuits.
