Electrical Engineering: Principles and Applications

0.0

This book helps students learn electrical engineering fundamentals enthusiastically. Its goals are to present basic concepts in a general setting, to show students how the principles of electrical engineering apply to specific problems in their own fields, and to enhance the overall learning process. Circuit analysis, digital systems, electronics, and electromechanics are covered. A wide variety of pedagogical features stimulate student interest and engender awareness of the material’s relevance to their chosen profession. Useful for basic electrical engineering course of B.Tech students of all disciplines. KEY FEATURES : Statements of learning objectives open each chapter. Comments in the margins emphasize and summarize important points or indicate common pitfalls that students need to avoid. Short boxed articles demonstrate how electrical-engineering principles are applied in other fields of engineering. Step-by-step problem solving procedures. A Practice Test at the end of each chapter gives students a chance to test their knowledge. Answers appear in Appendix E and complete solutions are included in the Student Solutions files. Summaries of important points at the end of each chapter provide references for students. Key equations are highlighted in the book to draw attention to important results.
