2 Practice Problem 2.8 The value of i3 should be equal to 2.5 A.

Problem 2.61

The last line should read "such that I lies with the range I = 1.25 A ± 5 percent."
We needed to add the first I.

negative.

discussed in Section 2.7 for resistors can be extended to capacitors and inductors."

negative sign

13 Page 588 On the 7th line above Figure 13.54, replace “L1 = L2” with “L1 = L1”
On the 3rd line above Figure 13.54, replace “L1 = L1” with “L1 = L2”
Make the same changes on the right-hand side of Figure 13.54

14 Example 14.8

The voltage source needs to be a current source of 1.25 sin(t) mA.

(c) At  = 0, Z = 8 kΩ and the entire current flows through R at resonance, the
average power dissipated at  = 0 is

P = 3.125 mW
14 Section 14.8 Active Filters (Page 642) The second line after the section heading
should read, "they cannot generate power gains greater than 1;"

14 Page 653 On the second line above Figure 14.52, replace “logrithic” with
“logarithmic”

15 Equation 15.43 Replace "e–2tcos10t" with "e–2tcos10t u(t)"

Figure 15.19 The 1 should be moved to the left so that it lines up with the break
in the curve

16 Practice Problems 16.7 To be more correct, the first answer needs to be multiplied
-3t -6t
by u(t) or (-20 e +40 e )u (t )
 Figure 16.109 The signs on the input to the op-amp need to be reversed. The
feedback should always be connected to the negative terminal.

In addition to the errors listed in that file, here are typos that I have found in
the book:
p. 10, fourth line before Section 1.5: "represented by V" should be "represented
by V." (V should be in italics.)
p. 112, last line before Method 2: "-vo +1kI3" should be "-vo +1kI3." (1 should
not be superscripted.)
p. 130, fifth line of Section 4.3: "known as the superposition" should be "known
as the superposition principle."
p. 134, first line of Example 4.5: "use the superposition theorem" should be "use
the superposition principle."
p. 143, second-to-last line: "you will not have a value for VTh" should be "VTh
will have a value of 0."
p. 148, sixth line of Solution to Example 4.12: "1v / 5Ω" should be "1V / 5Ω." (V
should be upper-case and non-italics.)
p. 182, Answer to Practice Problem 5.3: "26.25 µA" should be "11.25 µA."
p. 190, Answer to Practice Problem 5.8: The unit should be nA instead of µA.
(And as already noted in the book's online errata list, the answer should be
positive instead of negative.)
p. 201, Review Question 5.5: The units on all answers should µA be instead of
mA.
p. 220, Answer to Practice Problem 6.1: "26.67 A" should be "26.67 V."
p. 229, third line of Example 6.9: "Assume i(v)>0" should be "Assume i(0)=0."
p. 229, Answer to Practice Problem 6.9: "320 J" should be "324 J." (The given
answer of 320 J would be correct if we had been asked to find the change in
energy between t=0 s and t=4 s.)
p. 233, Answer to part (c) of Practice Problem 6.12: The answers are correct, but
are given in the wrong order. The question asks for v1(t), v2(t), and v(t), but the
answers are given in the following order: v(t), v1(t), and v2(t).
p. 243, Problem 6.13: In some early printings of the book, the leftmost resistor in
the circuit is incorrectly given as 40 Ω. It should be 70 Ω.
p. 260, equation between Equation (7.22) and Equation (7.23): in the second
integral, insert R between I02 and e-2λ/τ.
p. 278, Answer to Practice Problem 7.10: "7.63 V" should be "11.44 V."
p. 319, first line: "5iR" should be "2iR." This change results in three changes to
the following line: both instances of "1/5" should be "1/2," and "2/15" should be
"1/3."
p. 323, fifth line after Equation (8.26): "Figure 8.9 assumes" should be "Parts (a)
and (b) of Figure 8.9 assume."
p. 330, Answer to Practice Problem 8.5: "−2te−10tu(t) V" should be "−2te−10t
V." For consistency with the other problems in this section, and since the problem
specifies that t>0, there's no need for u(t) in the answer.
p. 336, Figure 8.20: On the graph's vertical axis, the scale marker between 20 and
30 should be 25 instead of 35.
p. 339, Answer to Practice Problem 8.8: "cos(0.25t)" should be "cos(0.5t)." Also,
"50 sin(0.25t)" should be "100 sin(0.5t)."
p. 342, Equation (8.10.3): The unit should be A/s instead of V/s.
p. 347, sixth line from the bottom: "v(1) = −6.75e−1 + 0.75e−9 " should be "v(1)
= −6.75e−1 + 0.75e−9 + 6." Also, on the following line, "−3.552" should be
"3.552." (Delete the negative sign.)
p. 357, third line: "1/0√LC" should be "1/√LC."(Delete the 0.)
p. 375, second line: Insert the unit V at the end of the equation.
p. 424, Equation (10.6.4): "80°" should be "77.9°." Also, "10°" should be "12.1°."
The first of these changes should also be made to the equation before Equation
(10.6.4), and the second of these changes should also be made to the equation
after Equation (10.6.4).
p. 472, Answer to Practice Problem 11.9: "710∠33.69° VA" should be "710 VA,"
since apparent power has no angle.
p. 477, second line: the unit at the end of the equation should be kVAR instead of
kVA.
