Can anybody recommend a book for electrical engineering?

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking to learn electrical engineering and understand circuit diagrams, "The Art of Electronics" by Horowitz and Hill is highly recommended, though it may be challenging for beginners. An alternative starting point is "Electrical Engineering: Principles and Applications" by Allan Hambley, which offers a more accessible introduction to key concepts. Both books are praised for their comprehensive coverage of electrical components and circuit design. Engaging with these resources can significantly enhance one's ability to read and interpret circuit diagrams. Mastery of these texts will provide a solid foundation in electrical engineering principles.

I agree, Horowitz and Hill's Art of Electronics is much revered by electronics professionals and students.
 


While Art of Electronics is probably the best book I have read so far ( in electronics), it might prove to be a little dry and tricky for a novice. I would suggest starting with "Electrical Engineering :Principles and Applications" by Allan Hambley. Once you are comfortable with concepts you can move on to AoE.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
