Engineering Circuit Analysis 8e (Indian Edition): Where to Find Solutions?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the lack of solution manuals for the "Engineering Circuit Analysis" 8th edition (Indian edition) textbook, particularly concerning the exercise problems in the latter chapters. Participants express frustration over the absence of answers and seek alternatives for verifying their work.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant notes that the textbook provides solutions only for selected problems in the first six chapters, raising concerns about the remaining chapters.
  • Another participant questions the rationale behind providing answers for odd-numbered problems only, suggesting that typically textbooks offer solutions for half of the problems.
  • A participant expresses dissatisfaction with the book's lack of comprehensive solutions, feeling that it was a waste of money.
  • Suggestions are made for collaborative problem-solving with classmates and verifying answers through alternative methods.
  • One participant acknowledges the suggestion and expresses gratitude for the advice given.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the frustration regarding the lack of solutions for the later chapters, but no consensus is reached on how to address the issue effectively.

Contextual Notes

Participants highlight the limitations of the textbook in providing solutions, but the discussion does not resolve the underlying issues regarding the availability of a complete solution manual.

I bought engineering circuit analysis by hyatt, 8e (Indian edition)The book is great in explaining concepts but the answers to the excerise problems are not given.

in the website mentioned in book there are only answers to selected problems for first six chapters, what about the remaining 12 chapter..?

I Google for buying solution mannual but it's not there it seem, how could they release book without solution to their excerise problems, with solution only i can knew whether I'm right or wrong.!

Could someone send me link in where can i buy its solution ..?

Interesting. That does seem strange that they would provide solutions for ealier chapters and not the later chapters. Were the answers for the earlier chapters for the odd problems or the even problems? Usually for a textbook, they will give the answers for half of the problems so students can check their study work, but leave half of the problems unsolved so the instructor can use them for graded homework...
 
To the odd ones., but why are they doing like this? My instructor isn't following tis book, so what about me.? wasted my money in buying this book.?

I see a golden opportunity here for you to work on these problems jointly with another student in your class, someone as diligent as yourself. You should be able to come up with ways to check your own answers, often by verifying that your answer satisfies the conditions, or by solving via a different route. In those 1% of case where neither of you is confident on how to proceed, well, you have these Physics Forums to consult. :smile:

Or you could flatter one of the top brains in the class by approaching her and asking for her advice on a problem that has you tied up in knots. :wink:
