Continuing on the lines of the well-received first edition, this revision of Basic Electrical Engineering provides a lucid exposition of the principles of electrical engineering for both electrical as well as non-electrical undergraduate students of engineering. Students pursuing diploma courses as well as those appearing for AMIE examinations would find this book extremely useful. Beginning with the fundamental concepts of electricity and electrical elements, the book provides an exhaustive coverage of network theory and analysis, magnetic circuits and energy conversion, alternating and direct current machines, basic analogue instruments, and ends with a brief introduction to power systems. Salient Features New sections on electrostatics, Biot-Savart law, and synchronous generator connected to an infinite bus bar New chapter on single-phase induction motors and special machines Learning Objectives in the beginning of every chapter Many new illustrations to supplement the text Several additional solved examples to enhance the understanding of new concepts Numerous new end-chapter exercises with answers and MCQs to stimulate student interest
