Computer Simulated Experiments for Electric Circuits Using Electronics Workbench [Paperback]

R. H. Berube (Author), Richard H. Berube (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 22, 1996 | ISBN-10: 0133596214 | ISBN-13: 978-0133596212 | Edition: 1

This laboratory manual aims to help 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 which act like actual laboratory instruments. Circuits can be modified easily with on-screen editing, and analysis results provide fast, accurate feedback. The manual offers a hands-on in approach, in both interactive experiments and a series of questions about the results of each experiment. This method provides a more cost-effective, safe and efficient learning process than using hardwired experiments. The manual can be sold for use with any DC/AC text. An accompanying disk contains all of the circuits needed to perform the experiments on Electronics Workbench version 4.
