Good textbook on electrical engineering?

[Bipolarity]

Could anyone recommend me a good introductory text on electrical engineering? Something similar to the "Resnick and Halliday" of Physics, except it should instead be for electrical engineering.

You would need to be more specific.

R & H uses a pretty elementary level of mathematics, Electrical Engineering needs a much higher level than this (this is not a criticism of R&H).

Electrical Engineering also draws on many supporting subjects besides mathematics.
Normally you would have several supporting books XXXX for electrical engineers. R&H tries to tell you what you need to know about supporting subjects ie it tries to be comprehesive.

I do not know of an Electrical Engineering book that attempts to be as comprehensive.

Electrical Technology by Hughes

is a good basic book at about the same level as R&H, but wiht the comprehensive proviso.

What's the next best thing that's out there?

Google for "intro book circuit" or try this https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=283548

There are really so many. I would say go to a local library, if you can, and pick one that suits your style before making a purchase.

As a scientist with a background in electrical engineering, I would recommend the textbook "Microelectronic Circuits" by Sedra and Smith. This textbook is widely used in introductory electrical engineering courses and provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of electrical engineering, including topics such as circuit analysis, semiconductor devices, and digital logic. It also includes numerous examples and practice problems to help solidify understanding of the material.

Another excellent resource is "Fundamentals of Electric Circuits" by Alexander and Sadiku. This textbook covers similar topics as "Microelectronic Circuits" but also includes a section on electromagnetics, making it a more well-rounded text for those interested in pursuing further studies in electrical engineering.

In terms of a "Resnick and Halliday" equivalent for electrical engineering, I would recommend "Electric Circuits" by Nilsson and Riedel. This textbook has a strong emphasis on conceptual understanding and includes numerous real-world examples and applications, making it a great choice for those interested in delving deeper into the subject.

I hope these recommendations are helpful in your search for a good textbook on electrical engineering. Remember, it's important to choose a text that aligns with your learning style and goals, so be sure to explore different options before making a decision. Best of luck in your studies!
