This is an English translation of the fourth Russian edition, revised and enlarged in comparison with the previous editions to bring it in line with the requirements of the new curriculum on electrical engineering, and also to embody the experience accumulated from the use of the previous editions.

The book has been written to cover the course in electrical engineering as taught in the Soviet Union to students majoring in other departments. It is largely based on the third edition (1974) of the book by the late Professor A.S. Kasatkin, and also on the lectures his co-author has been reading at the Moscow Physical Engineering Institute for a long time now.

The course includes basic electricity and theory, design, principles of operation, characteristics, parameters, and applications of the most-used electrical circuits and apparatus.

Although no approach to teaching the subject can afford to be wholly non-mathematical, every effort has been made to restrict the use of mathematics to cases where a mathematical approach to the problem is either unavoidable or actively helpful to the student.

On the whole, the book is intended as a framework, sound and accurate within its limits, into which more advanced and detailed work can be fitted.
