Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering

The text first touches on the physical fundamentals; next it focuses on the technical aspects from the point of view of the user. Primarily it analyzes passive electronic circuits using modern computer based methods. Using wiring diagrams, the reader will get an introduction of electric networks and their mathematical description based on the Kirchhoff Rules and Ohm’s Law. Alternate current technology is the main emphasis; whereas direct current technology is considered a special case of alternate current technology. The math program “Octave” is used for calculating the examples and exercises.
