Electrical Engineering | Step by Step: Basics, Components & Circuits explained for Beginners

Are you looking for a simple and understandable introduction to the basics of electrical engineering and electronics? Then you are well advised with this book! As an engineer (M.Eng.) I would like to teach you the basics of electrical engineering and electronics. In summary, this book offers you an easy to understand, intuitively structured and practical introduction to the world of electrical engineering!

What is current and what is voltage? What is charge? What is power, what is 1 kWh? How does an electric motor work? What is the difference between direct current and alternating current? This electrical engineering handbook not only answers these questions, but also covers many other topics in depth and detail.
In addition, in this compact beginner’s guide, you will quickly and easily learn the functions as well as the application of important electronic components such as resistors, diodes, transistors, capacitors and much more. This book offers you a comprehensive yet compact introduction to the basics of electrical engineering and electronics!

In addition to important basic terms and principles, you will also learn, for example, how to analyze circuits (Kirchhoff’s rules), what a bipolar transistor is, what a MOSFET is, and how a RLC circuit is designed. We will also look at what happens when you place an inductor in a magnetic field and what practical applications these basic principles have in our modern world. We will also do some calculations together and we will learn the mathematical equations behind the basic principles of electrical engineering in each chapter. However, depending on how deep you want to go into the material, you can also just take note of them.

This fundamentals book is aimed specifically at anyone who has no prior knowledge of electrical and electronic engineering, or who already has some knowledge but is looking for a practical and understandable guide to electrical engineering. No matter what age you are, what profession you have, whether you are a pupil, student or pensioner. This book is for anyone who wants or needs to learn about electrical engineering and electronics.

The aim of this book is to introduce you to how electrical engineering accompanies us in everyday life and the basic principles involved. In addition, you will learn the basics of direct current technology and alternating current technology, their theoretical backgrounds and much more! Develop a basic understanding of electrical engineering and electronics in no time!

Therefore, do not hesitate any longer, best take a look at the book and get your copy home as an ebook or paperback!
