Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering [Jan 01, 2009] Prasad, Rajendra

This comprehensive book, in its second edition, continues to provide an in-depth analysis on the fundamental principles of electrical engineering. The exposition of these principles is fully reinforced by many practical problems that illustrate the concepts discussed. Beginning with a precise and quantitative detailing of the basics of electrical engineering, the text moves on to explain the fundamentals of circuit theory, electrostatic and electromagnetism and further details on the concept of electromechanical energy conversion. The book provides an elaborate and systematic analysis of the working principle, applications and construction of each electrical machine. In addition to circuit responses under steady state conditions, the book contains the chapters on dynamic responses of networks and analysis of a three-phase circuit. Designed as a text for the undergraduate students of almost all branches of engineering, the book will also be useful to the practising engineers as reference. New to this edition : a new chapter on measuring instruments a section on resonance in rlc circuits a section on measurement of power in three-phase balanced and unbalanced circuits key features : discusses statements with numerical examples includes answers to the numerical problems at the end of the book enhances learning of the basic working principles of electrical machines by using a number of supporting examples, review questions and illustrative examples.
