Basic Electrical Engineering

This volume has been written to serve as a textbook for first-year Bachelor of Technology students of Electrical Engineering (common to other branches) that covers the contents as per the new syllabus of AICTE w.e.f. 2018-2019 session. This book is written in very simple language so that the students may easily grasp the subject. The rationalized SI of units has been used throughout this book. Systematic presentation, crystal-clear approach, and straightforward and comprehensible arrangement of basic concepts are the main asset of this book. Extensive coverage of Power System Outline, Transformers and DC machines has been made in this book. It is impossible to gain a thorough understanding of electrical principles without working out a large number of numerical problems; and while doing this, students should make a habit of writing the solutions logically. At the end of each chapter, review questions and multiple-choice questions with answers have been included for better practice. It is earnestly hoped that with the extensive revisions, modifications and improvement the present edition will complement the students in preparing for their regular examinations as well as competitive examination.
