This book is designed to provide a firm foundation in each of the five principal areas of Electrical Engineering. It is intended for the same courses where Del Toro's "Principles of Electrical Engineering" is being used. This edition is entirely rewritten and gives the student the option of using either the Laplace transform method or the classical method to solve problems on transients in circuits.The author develops each topic from a few fundamental laws, such as Coulomb's Law, Ohm's Law, Faraday's Law, etc. to impart a clearer and more unified understanding of concepts.The book is ideal for both majoring and non-majoring students of Electrical Engineering.
