4 Preface Engineering institutions have been continually modernizing and updating their curricula to keep pace with the technological advancements and meet the demands of the needs of the light current engineering industries (electronics, communication, instrumentation, controls, computers, etc.) and to enhance the employability of their graduates, several universities replaced their traditional Basic Electrical Engineering (common to all disciplines) with Basic Electrical and Electronics Engineering. The present text, Basic Electrical and Electronics Engineering, has been written with the objective of meeting the needs of both the faculty and students of Jawaharlal The present text has been designed and developed to ensure that the fundamentals of this course are well understood by students of all disciplines of engineering. Simultaneously, fundamentals of important topics, in major subject areas, have been discussed to provide a foundation for the study of advanced topics, by students of various current engineering disciplines in their subsequent programmes of study. cal and Electronics Engineering offered by JNTU. About the Book At the outset, the authors would like to state that a lot of effort was made to get right the contents of this title and to ensure that it meets the syllabi requirements of JNTU offering an introductory course of Basic Electrical and Electronics Engineering in their graduate engineering programmes. will help students to overcome their initial apprehensions and initiate a life-long affair with electrical and electronics engineering. Written in a simple, yet lucid style, the book presents a clear and concise exposition of the principles and applications of electrical and electronics engineering. concepts and build a strong foundation in the subject. Keeping in mind the needs Key Features An in-depth and all-inclusive treatment of the various aspects of electrical and electronics engineering. scope of the chapter. Chapter-end recapitulation provides a summary of the main topics studied for quick revision. the theory.

5 vi Preface To provide a better understanding of the principles and their applications, included. Numerous chapter-end objective type questions and problems (with answers) stimulate the readers interests and assist the students to meet the challenges of examinations. Content and Coverage The book consists of seven chapters with three devoted to heavy current (electrical) engineering and the remaining four to electronics. Chapter 1, Introduction to Electrical Engineering, discusses the basics of electricity, electrical quantities, elements, and various associated laws governing the principles of electrical engineering. Chapter 2, Network Analysis and Network Theorems, deals with the basics of network theory, independent and dependent current and voltage sources and their conversions, types of networks and their analyses, and network theorems and their applications. Chapter 3, Alternating Quantities, discusses generation of ac voltage, representation of alternating quantities, phasor algebra, single-phase series and parallel circuits, power and power factor, and series and parallel resonance. Chapter 4, Semiconductor Theory and Diode Principles, provides an introduction to semiconductor theory, semiconductor materials, conduction process and types of semiconductors, PN junction, reverse saturation, and drift and diffusion currents. It also covers PN junction diode, its static V I character- The chapter also discusses the Chapter 5, Basics of Bipolar Junction Transistors, deals with the categories and fabrication of transistors, operation, input and output characteristics, Bias stability is also described in the chapter. Chapter 6, Basics of Field Effect Transistors, presents the structure of a JFET, methods to bias an FET are also included. Chapter 7, Special Purpose Devices, explains the breakdown mechanisms in diodes and discusses three special type of diodes tunnel diode, varactor diode, and Shockley diode along with the operation principle of an SCR.
