Overview
Electrical Engineering Fundamentals covers the core scientific concepts and principles essential for electrical engineering. The book begins with the basics of power, current, and voltage before exploring foundational laws and the intricacies of linear circuits, including DC, first-order, and AC circuits. Once these core concepts are covered, the book delves into more complicated topics like magnetically coupled circuits and semiconductor electronics. What sets this book apart is its comprehensive approach, offering knowledge often missing from other introductory texts. Each chapter is packed with examples and exercises to master the concepts covered, while a supplementary bank of about one hundred short videos provides dynamic reviews and practical demonstrations of problem-solving techniques. Electrical Engineering Fundamentals is the primary textbook for Electrical Engineering Fundamentals I (ECE 20001) at Purdue University, used by more than two thousand students every year, and is a suitable resource for any student seeking an introduction to these topics.
