Elements of Electrical Engineering

About the Book: Elements of Electrical Engineering Since the advent of industrial revolution, the focus of human civilization has been to harness energy from electrons to drive machines that aid us in our day-to-day life. Electrical engineering has been the backbone of this endeavour. With its three pillars-electricity, electronics and electromagnetism-electrical engineering has become one of the most sought-after disciplines. Elements of Electrical Engineering presents the nuances of this subject and deals with topics related to DC, AC and polyphase circuits, electrostatics and capacitance, electromagnetism, batteries and electrical wiring, etc. The book presents a lucid explanation of complex principles and concepts of electrical engineering with an extensive collection of solved numerical examples. The author has kept BE/BTech students in focus, packaging the text with neat illustrations and well-structured, self-assessment exercises for a better guided learning experience. Elements of Electrical Engineering is a great reference guide for course study of various Indian Universities.
