Basic Electrical Engineering

Description

In today’s times our intimate relationship with electricity has reached the point where living without it is virtually impossible. From our phones and laptops, to our cars, kitchen appliances, washing machines, heating & cooling, etc. nearly everything is powered by electricity. As the requirements of it go on increasing so does the need for understanding how to harness and store it. Electrical engineering is the field that deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. The field first became an identifiable occupation in the late nineteenth century after commercialisation of the electric telegraph and electrical power supply. It now covers a range of subtopics including power, electronics, control systems, signal processing and telecommunications.

This book covers the basic theory and practice of electronics related to electricity. It goes on to explain the fundamental principles and components, relating them constantly to real-world examples. Sections on tools and troubleshooting give engineers deeper understanding and the know-how to create and maintain their own electronic design projects. The author builds a genuine understanding of the fundamentals and shows how they can be applied to a wide range of engineering problems. The book has been prepared in a novel format using simple language with a focus on key concepts keeping in mind the requirements of students. It is also useful as a reference bank for many questions and answers. The author is a highly credited authority on the subject and has amassed many accolades in the field.
