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.

Rese�a del editor

Preface HE following lectures onE lectrical Engineering are general in their nature, dealing with the problems of generation, control, transmission, distribution and utilization of electric energy; that is, with the operation of electric systems and apparatus under normal and abnormal conditions, and with the design of such systems; but the design of apparatus is discussed only so far as it is necessary to understand their operation, and so judge of their proper field of application. Due to the nature of the subject, and the limitations of time and space, the treatment had to be essentially descriptive, and not mathematical. That is, it comprises a discussion of the different methods of application of electric energy, the means and apparatus available, the different methods of carrying out the purpose, and the relative advantages and disadvantages of the different methods and apparatus, which determine their choice. It must be realized, however, that such a discussion can be general only, and that there are, and always will be, cases in which, in meeting special conditions,, conclusions regarding systems and apparatus may be reached, differing from those which good judgment would dictate under general and average conditions.
