Alexander and Sadiku's fifth edition ofFundamentals of Electric Circuitscontinues in the spirit of its successful previous editions, with the objective of presenting circuit analysis in a manner that is clearer, more interesting, and easier to understand than other, more traditional texts. Students are introduced to the sound,six-step problem solving methodologyin chapter one, and are consistently made to apply and practice these steps in practice problems and homework problems throughout the text.

A balance of theory, worked examples and extended examples, practice problems, and real-world applications, combined with over 468 new or changed homework problems for the fifth edition and robust media offerings, renders the fifth edition the most comprehensive and student-friendly approach to linear circuit analysis.

This edition retains theDesign a Problemfeature which helps students develop their design skills by having the student develop the question as well as the solution. There are over 100Design a Problemexercises integrated into the problem sets in the book.
