A large number of objective type questions have been added from the latest papers of U.P.S.C. LE.S., GATE, Institution of
Engineers (India), various Indian Universities an¢ other examining bodies. An eamest effort has beea made to provide a comprehensive
coverage of the courses prescribed By most ofthe competition examination conducting and other examining bodies on the subject
of Electrical Engineering.
‘The book, now, comprises 20 chapters divided into three Sections viz. “Electrical Engineering”, “Electronics” and
“Measurements Instrumentation and Control.” Firs section (Electrical Engineering) comprises 11 chapters namely “DC Basics and
‘Network and Electromagnetic Theory”, “AC Basics and Networks”, “DC Machines”, “AC Machines”, “Electrical Engineering,

Itis eamestly hoped that withthe extensive additions, revision, modifications and improvement, the present edition will prove

for the revision ofthe book. =
