Electric Circuits Book: Intro to Electric Circuits 7th ed. Dorf/Svoboda

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the need for additional resources to supplement the "Intro to Electric Circuits 7th ed." textbook by Dorf/Svoboda, which lacks sufficient worked-out examples. Participants mention a separate solutions guide that contains extra problems and is available for purchase, typically around $20 on Amazon. Suggestions include confirming the title and author of the manual with the professor, checking availability at the school bookstore, or utilizing the library's interlibrary loan service if the book is not in stock. One participant successfully found a copy on Amazon for $13, including shipping.

I am taking an electric circuits course using Intro to Electric Circuits 7th ed. by Dorf/Svoboda. My professor mentioned something about a manual that you can buy that has mainly just a lot of different circuits all worked out for you to study, does anyone know where I can get this because the book is lacking in examples?

Thanks

That book has a separate "solutions" guide that includes extra problems that are worked out. If I remember correctly, I found it on amazon.com for around $20.
 
Why don't you find out from your professor the title and author(s) of the manual that he mentioned. Then, you could order it from Amazon, or from your school's bookstore. You could also check to see if your school's library has it. If your library has it, you might not need to order it. If your library doesn't have it, you might still be able to get it throught your library's interlibrary loan service. This might give you a copy to look at before an ordered copy arrives.
 
Thanks guys, I found one on amazon for $13 shipping included!
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
