BASIC ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

Basic Electrical & Electronics Engineering is designed to serve
as a foundational resource for students, educators, and professionals
entering the realms of electrical and electronics engineering. The book
offers a comprehensive exploration of essential concepts, theories, and
practical applications that form the cornerstone of this multidisciplinary
field.
The text is meticulously structured to cover five major domains:
DC & AC Circuits, Machines and Measuring Instruments, Energy
Resources, Electricity Billing & Safety Measures, Semiconductor
Devices, and Digital Electronics. Each section progresses logically,
starting with fundamental principles and advancing to intricate topics,
supported by illustrative diagrams, numerical examples, and practical
exercises.
DC & AC Circuits lays the groundwork by introducing circuit
elements, laws, and theorems that underpin electrical engineering. From
Ohm’s Law to Kirchoff’s Laws, the section transitions seamlessly into
AC fundamentals, power concepts, and circuit analysis techniques.
Machines and Measuring Instruments delves into the operation,
construction, and applications of DC machines, transformers, induction
motors, and alternators, alongside the study of essential measuring
instruments.
Energy Resources and Safety highlights various energy
generation methods, electricity tariff systems, and critical safety
measures for handling electrical systems, emphasizing sustainability
and responsible energy usage.
Semiconductor Devices focuses on the atomic and material
properties of semiconductors, progressing to p-n junctions, diodes, and
transistors, bridging the gap between theory and device operation.
Digital Electronics introduces binary systems, logic gates,
Boolean algebra, and sequential circuits, offering insights into modern
computing and digital systems.

This book is tailored to suit the curriculum requirements of
engineering students while remaining an invaluable reference for
industry professionals. The blend of theoretical rigor with practical
application aims to empower learners with the skills to analyze, design,
and troubleshoot electrical and electronic systems confidently.
We hope this book provides clarity, fosters curiosity, and
inspires innovation among its readers. Suggestions for improvement are
