Basic Concepts of Electrical Engineering

<div><!--block-->An earnest attempt has been made in the book 'Basic Concepts of Electrical Engineering' to elucidate the principles and applications of Electrical Engineering and also its importance, so as to evince interest on the topics so that the student gets motivated to study the subject with interest.<br><br />The subject matter has been presented in a graded manner with the above objective in mind. This book is a revised edition of the earlier book, include following features:Some additional information is given on Loop and Nodal Analysis using Kirchoff's Voltage Law and Current Law for understanding of the Circuit Analysis and A.C. Machines clearly.A chapter on Magnetic Circuits and Electromagnetic Induction is added as a pre-requisite to understand Electrical Machines.A chapter on Three Phase Systems is given separately to understand Three Phase Machines.Additional topics like Stepper Motors and Universal Motors have been added and the book has been designed to cater to the needs of students studying Basic Electrical Engineering Course or Electrical Engineering Technology Course in different Universities.For better understanding and grasp of the subject, a set of comprehension Questions and Excercises have been provided at the end of each chapter.<br><strong>Contents<br>1.</strong> D.C.
