For courses in DC/AC circuits: conventional flow.
Complete, accessible introduction to DC/AC circuits
Principles of Electric Circuits provides a clear introduction to fundamental circuit laws and components, using math only when needed for understanding. Floyd's acclaimed coverage of troubleshooting, combined with exercises, examples and illustrations, gives students the problem-solving experience they need to step outside the classroom and into a job.
The
10th Edition has been heavily modified to improve readability and clarity. It reflects developments in technology since the last edition.
