At what level? I personally like The Art of Electronics, by Horowitz and Hill as an intro electronics book:

https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_...ks,k:the art of electronics&tag=pfamazon01-20

There have been other threads here in the EE forum that have discussed other similar intro books. If you do a forums search on Howoritz, you will probably find some of those other threads. :smile:
 
My friend had suggested art of electronics. I have not gone through it till date. I'm currently studying electrostatics. Will be dealing with classical electrodynamics very soon.

Oh, that's different. The AoE is more circuit stuff, from the basics up through analog & digital design. Are you looking for more Electrostatics/Electrodynamics type books?

Electrodynamics.
 

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
