General Lectures On Electrical Engineering (1918)

General Lectures On Electrical Engineering is a book written by Charles Proteus Steinmetz and published in 1918. The book is a collection of lectures given by the author on various topics related to electrical engineering. The lectures cover a wide range of subjects, including electrical circuits, electromagnetic theory, electric power transmission, and electrical machines. Steinmetz, a renowned electrical engineer and mathematician, presents the material in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to both students and professionals. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of electrical engineering. The first chapter provides an overview of electrical circuits, including the laws of electrical currents and voltages, Kirchhoff's laws, and the properties of resistors, capacitors, and inductors. The second chapter focuses on electromagnetic theory, including the behavior of electric and magnetic fields, electromagnetic waves, and the properties of conductors and dielectrics. The third chapter discusses electric power transmission, including the design and operation of power systems, the properties of transformers and generators, and the principles of electrical safety. The fourth chapter covers electrical machines, including motors, generators, and transformers, and their applications in industry and transportation. Overall, General Lectures On Electrical Engineering is a comprehensive and informative book that provides a thorough introduction to the field of electrical engineering. It is a valuable resource for students, engineers, and anyone interested in the principles and applications of electricity and magnetism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
