For the first time in India, we have a comprehensive introductory book on Basic Electrical Engineering that caters to undergraduate students of all branches of engineering and to all those who are appearing in competitive examinations such as AMIE, GATE and graduate IETE. The book provides a lucid yet exhaustive exposition of the fundamental concepts, techniques and devices in basic electrical engineering through a series of carefully crafted solved examples, multiple choice (objective type) questions and review questions. The book covers, in general, three major areas: electric circuit theory, electric machines, and measurement and instrumentation systems.
