The book is comprised of six chapters that cover several topics relevant to BASIC and electrotechnology. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to BASIC, and Chapter 2 talks about the use of complex numbers in a.c. circuit analysis. Chapter 3 covers linear circuit analysis with d.c. and sinusoidal a.c. supplies. The book also discusses the elementary magnetic circuit theory. The theory and performance of two winding transformers from an equivalent circuit approach are also tackled. The last chapter covers the electromechanical energy conversion. The text will be of great use to undergraduate students of electrical engineering.
