This book is concerned with circuit simulation using National Instruments Multisim. It focuses on the use and comprehension of the working techniques for electrical and electronic circuit simulation. The first chapters are devoted to basic circuit analysis. It starts by describing in detail how to perform a DC analysis using only resistors and independent and controlled sources. Then, it introduces capacitors and inductors to make a transient analysis. In the case of transient analysis, it is possible to have an initial condition either in the capacitor voltage or in the inductor current, or both. Fourier analysis is discussed in the context of transient analysis. Next, we make a treatment of AC analysis to simulate the frequency response of a circuit. Then, we introduce diodes, transistors, and circuits composed by them and perform DC, transient, and AC analyses. The book ends with simulation of digital circuits. A practical approach is followed through the chapters, using step-by-step examples to introduce new Multisim circuit elements, tools, analyses, and virtual instruments for measurement. The examples are clearly commented and illustrated. The different tools available on Multisim are used when appropriate so readers learn which analyses are available to them. This is part of the learning outcomes that should result after each set of end-of-chapter exercises is worked out.

This companion work provides an introduction toMultisimand supports its use in a beginning linear circuits course based on the textbook,Electric Circuits, Eighth Edition by James W. Nilssson and Susan A. Riedel. The ease of use interface and design features of Multisim make interactive validation of circuit behavior uncomplicated and insightful. Topics appear in this supplement in the same order in which they are presented in the text. Step by step instructions, screen captures and 22 illustrative examples provide an easy path for mastering circuit simulation with Multisim. To assess understanding a list of recommended exercises from each chapter of the main text are provided at the conclusion of each chapter.

The National Instruments Multisim® software is a versatile design and simulation program. The intent of this workbook is to simulate a laboratory experience in electronics and help you develop a working knowledge of the Multisim software to enter and analyze circuit designs. The circuits in this manual illustrate fundamental concepts in dc/ac, digital, and device electronics. Each section will contain some background theory for the circuits that you will investigate, but only to help provide context for the specific topics that the section will cover. For best results, you should use this workbook to supplement, rather than replace, a textbook that discusses the subject material in depth. This manual provides suggested reading for each experiment."--pub. desc.

Irwin's Basic Engineering Circuit Analysis has built a solid reputation for its highly accessible presentation, clear explanations, and extensive array of helpful learning aids. Now in a new eighth edition, this highly accessible book has been fine-tuned and revised, making it more effective and even easier to use. It covers such topics as resistive circuits, nodal and loop analysis techniques, capacitance and inductance, AC steady-state analysis, polyphase circuits, the Laplace transform, two-port networks, and much more.
