Problems in Electrical Engineering e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This collection of problems has been prepared for the use of students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but as the book may be used in other technical schools it seems best to state what ground the problems are intended to cover. At the Institute the book will be used by the third year students in Electrical Engineering, and by the third and fourth year students in the courses of Civil, Mechanical, Mining and Chem ical Engineering. The work in these courses includes the theoretical elements of direct and single-phase alternating cur rents and the theory and operation of direct - current generators and motors. The problems are for the most part what would be called theoretical, although whenever it is possible they apply to some practical engineering question. In many cases certain constants have been exaggerated in order to emphasize some particular point.
