An eamest effort has beea made to provide a comprehensive coverage of the courses prescribed By most ofthe competition examination conducting and other examining bodies on the subject of Electrical Engineering. ‘The book, now, comprises 20 chapters divided into three Sections viz. “Electrical Engineering”, “Electronics” and “Measurements Instrumentation and Control.” Firs section (Electrical Engineering) comprises 11 chapters namely “DC Basics and ‘Network and Electromagnetic Theory”, “AC Basics and Networks”, “DC Machines”, “AC Machines”, “Electrical Engineering, Materials", “Electrical Machine Design”, “Electrical-Insallation and Wiring”, “Electrical Power Generation & Economic Considerations’, “Transmission and Distribution of Electric Power”, “Switchgear and Protection” and “Electrical Energy Utilization and Electric Traction.” Second section (Electronics) comprises of 6 chapters namely “Electronic Components and Devices”, “Analog. Electronics”, “Industrial and Power Electronics”, “Digital Electronics”, “Microprocessors”, and “Communication System’. The third section (Measurements, Instrumentation and Control) consists of 3 chapters namely, “Electronic and Electrical Measurements ‘and Measuring Instruments”, “Electrical and Electronic Instrumentation”, and “Control Systems”. ‘The book contains more than 17,000 Objective Type Questions (about 2250 short answer type- 9,420 Multiple Choice Type, {650 Assertion/Reason Type, 430 Matching Type, 2,300 True/False Type and 2,200 Fill-in-the Blanks Type) designed to bring ‘about the hidden aspects and make the maximum information available tothe readers on various subjects/topics covered and also to test gains in knowledge, understanding and applicatiqn aspect of leaming.
