The third edition of Basic Electrical Engineering is specially designed to cater to the needs of undergraduate students of Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT). Beginning with the fundamental principles underlying the study of DC networks, the book comprehensively discusses topics such as magnetic circuits, single-phase and three-phase AC circuits, transformers, DC motors, and induction motors. Measuring instruments and power systems are also covered in sufficient detail. Each chapter begins with the learning objectives of the chapter, dwells on the important concepts in detail, and provides a brief summary at the end for a quick review. Key Features Coverage of topics exactly as per the revised BPUT syllabus (2011) Presents laboratory experiments for helping students with their lab assignments Offers an exhaustive list of common circuit symbols used in electrical engineering Includes model questions papers for self-practice New to this Edition About 30 new solved problems taking the total count to over 300 Improved illustrations and explanations New topics including energy storage elements, transient analysis and formation of differential equations, node and loop analysis with controlled sources, maximum power transfer theorem, sensors and transducers, residential wiring, DC and AC machines, and alternators About the Author Prasanta Kumar Satpathy is currently Head of Department, Department of Electrical Engineering, College of Engineering and Technology, Bhubaneshwar. A PhD in Power Systems from IIT Kharagpur, Dr. Satpathy obtained his MTech in Power Systems from IIT Delhi. He has 17 years of experience of teaching and research in the field of electrical engineering and has published numerous papers in national and international journals of repute.
