highlights the Basis of Electrical units/circuits. Chapter 2 provide details of
Electrostatics, Magnetism, Electromagnetism, while Basic laws and
Theorems are explained in chapters 3 and 4, respectively. Chapter 5
through 7 are devoted to detail three phase system, electric power and
electrical machines. While Chapters 8 and 9 deals with Basic Electronics
and Electrical Measurement.
The book is designed to be used either as a textbook for a formal course in
Electrical Engineering or as a comprehensive supplement to all current
standard texts.
We are grateful for the help of University of Port Harcourt Staff and Post
Graduate Students in the preparation and production of the textbook and
