The third edition of Basic Electrical Engineering is specially designed to cater to the needs of undergraduate students of Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT).
Beginning with the fundamental principles underlying the study of DC networks, the book comprehensively discusses topics such as magnetic circuits, single-phase and three-phase AC circuits, transformers, DC motors, and induction motors. Measuring instruments and power systems are also covered in sufficient detail. Each chapter begins with the learning objectives of the chapter, dwells on the important concepts in detail, and provides a brief summary at the end for a quick review.
