Basic Electrical and Electronics Engineering Volume I is designed as per the syllabus requirements of the first year core paper Basic Electrical and Electronics Engineering I, offered to the first year first semester, undergraduate students of engineering in the West Bengal University of Technology (WBUT). With its simple language and clear-cut style of explanation, this book presents an intelligent understanding of the basics of electrical and electronics.

“Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering and Electronics” is a useful book for undergraduate students of electrical engineering and electronics as well as B.Sc. Electronics. The book discusses concepts such as Network Analysis, Capacitance, Electromagnetic Induction, Motors Circuits and Diodes in an easy to relate and thereby understand manner. Designed in accordance with the syllabi of most major universities, the book is an essential resource for anyone aspiring to learn the fundamentals and teaches students much about the subject itself. A book which has seen, foreseen and incorporated changes in the subject for more than 50 years, it continues to be one of the most sought after texts by the students.

Electrical Engineering 101 covers the basic theory and practice of electronics, starting by answering the question "What is electricity?" It goes on to explain the fundamental principles and components, relating them constantly to real-world examples. Sections on tools and troubleshooting give engineers deeper understanding and the know-how to create and maintain their own electronic design projects. Unlike other books that simply describe electronics and provide step-by-step build instructions, EE101 delves into how and why electricity and electronics work, giving the reader the tools to take their electronics education to the next level. It is written in a down-to-earth style and explains jargon, technical terms and schematics as they arise. The author builds a genuine understanding of the fundamentals and shows how they can be applied to a range of engineering problems. This third edition includes more real-world examples and a glossary of formulae. It contains new coverage of: - Microcontrollers - FPGAs - Classes of components - Memory (RAM, ROM, etc.) - Surface mount - High speed design - Board layout - Advanced digital electronics (e.g. processors) - Transistor circuits and circuit design - Op-amp and logic circuits - Use of test equipment - Gives readers a simple explanation of complex concepts, in terms they can understand and relate to everyday life. - Updated content throughout and new material on the latest technological advances. - Provides readers with an invaluable set of tools and references that they can use in their everyday work.

This book is primarily designed to serve as a textbook for undergraduate students of electrical, electronics, and computer engineering, but can also be used for primer courses across other disciplines of engineering and related sciences. The book covers all the basic aspects of electronics engineering, from electronic materials to devices, and then to basic electronic circuits. The book can be used for freshman (first year) and sophomore (second year) courses in undergraduate engineering. It can also be used as a supplement or primer for more advanced courses in electronic circuit design. The book uses a simple narrative style, thus simplifying both classroom use and self study. Numerical values of dimensions of the devices, as well as of data in figures and graphs have been provided to give a real world feel to the device parameters. It includes a large number of numerical problems and solved examples, to enable students to practice. A laboratory manual is included as a supplement with the textbook material for practicals related to the coursework. The contents of this book will be useful also for students and enthusiasts interested in learning about basic electronics without the benefit of formal coursework.
