About this title

From the Back Cover

This book presents the basics of electrical engineering from the perspective of the primary principles behind the subject, rather than dwelling on superficial details. It is based on three objectives: to explain the fundamental ideas behind electrical engineering, to emphasize the unity of the subject, and to bring an understanding of the subject within the reach of all engineers.

FEATURES:

• NEW—offers new material on induction motor nameplate interpretation, power distribution systems, synchronous generators, and RLC circuit analysis in time domain.
• provides more than 1,000 problems, many revised from the first edition.
• presents clear explanations of the fundamentals of electrical engineering, focusing on the basics of the subject.
• maintains a strong emphasis on vocabulary throughout the book.
• draws relevant examples directly from the daily life of the reader.
• provides many pedagogical aids, including icons to identify recurring ideas, "what if?" problems appended to examples, objectives at the beginning of each chapter, chapter summaries, and causality diagrams.
