Can anyone help me get started on the basics in electrical engineering or maybe sending me some of the threads that already exist in the forum that are related to the basics and introduction of EE.

Would be glad if someone helped, thnx!

Welcome to the PF. Have a look at the book we were discussing in this thread:

https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=178516

The thread is about some of the more involved concepts, but the book starts off with the basics of resistors, capacitors and inductors, and then the basics of transistors and digital logic. It's a great intro to EE, IMO, and makes for a pretty good read. Do you have a technical or university library nearby where you can look at a copy?
