The subject of 'Basic Electrical Engineering' continues to be one of the core subjects included in the New Choice Based Credit System Curriculum prescribed by the Savitribai Phule Pune University for First Year Degree Courses in Engineering of all branches with effect from the academic year 2019-20. This is done mainly with a view to acquaint the students in overall manner with the electrical engineering principles and apparatus before they specialize in any branch of engineering. This book is exclusively written to serve as a text-book for the above subject.

The subject matter in the book is thoroughly revised and rearranged as per new syllabus. It includes topics on Elementary Concepts, Magnetic Circuits, Electromagnetic Induction, Electrostatics, A.C. Fundamentals, Single-Phase A.C. Circuits, Polyphase A.C. Circuits, Single-Phase Transformers, D.C. Circuits, Works, Power, Energy and Batteries. The international system of units (S.I.) is used throughout the book.
