Basic Electrical Engineering

Basic Electrical Engineering has been written as a core course for all engineering students viz. electronics and communication engineering, computer engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering etc. Since this course is normally offered at the first year level of engineering, the author has made modest efforts to give in a concise form, various features of Basic Electrical Engineering using simple language and through solved examples, avoiding the rigor of mathematics.
