As a scientist with a background in electrical engineering, I would recommend starting with textbooks that cover the fundamentals of the subject. Some popular titles include "Fundamentals of Electric Circuits" by Charles Alexander and Matthew Sadiku, "Electrical Engineering: Principles and Applications" by Allan Hambley, and "Introduction to Electric Circuits" by Richard C. Dorf and James A. Svoboda.

In addition to textbooks, I would also suggest looking into online resources such as MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) or tutorial videos on platforms like YouTube. These can provide a more interactive and visual learning experience.

It may also be helpful to reach out to your local library or university to see if they have any resources or recommendations for self-study in electrical engineering. Many libraries offer free access to online databases and e-books on the subject.

Lastly, I would recommend networking with other professionals or students in the field of electrical engineering. They may have personal recommendations for books or resources that have helped them in their own learning journey.

Overall, acquiring books on electrical engineering is a great first step in your self-study journey, but don't be afraid to explore other resources as well. Best of luck in your learning endeavors!
