Basic Electrical Engineering

This third edition of Basic Electrical Engineering provides a lucid exposition of the principles of electrical engineering for both electrical as well as non-electrical undergraduate engineering students.
The book provides an exhaustive coverage of topics such as network theory and analysis, magnetic circuits and energy conversion, ac and dc machines, basic analogue instruments and power systems. The book also gives an introduction to illumination concepts. The subject matter in each chapter is developed systematically and is supplemented with several solved examples and numerous chapter-end exercises.
