English to Turkish Translation on Brief History of Electrical Engineering
The historical evolution of electrical engineering can be attributed, in
part, to the work and discoveries of the people in the following list.
• William Gilbert (1540–1603), English physician, founder of magnetic
science, published De Magnete, a treatise on magnetism, in 1600.
• Charles A. Coulomb (1736–1806), French engineer and physicist,
published the laws of electrostatics in seven memoirs to the French
Academy of Science between 1785 and 1791. His name is
associated with the unit of charge.

• James Watt (1736–1819), English inventor, developed the steam
engine. His name is used to represent the unit of power.
• Alessandro Volta (1745–1827), Italian physicist, discovered the
electric pile. The unit of electric potential and the alternate name of
this quantity (voltage) are named after him.

• Hans Christian Oersted (1777–1851), Danish physicist, discovered
the connection between electricity and magnetism in 1820. The unit
of magnetic field strength is named after him.
• Andr´e Marie Amp`ere (1775–1836), French mathematician,
chemist, and physicist, experimentally quantified the relationship
between electric current and the magnetic field. His works were
summarized in a treatise published in 1827. The unit of electric
current is named after him.

• Georg
Simon
Ohm
(1789–1854),
German
mathematician,
investigated the relationship between voltage and current and
quantified the phenomenon of resistance. His first results were
published in 1827. His name is used to represent the unit of
resistance.
• Michael Faraday (1791–1867), English experimenter, demonstrated
electromagnetic induction in 1831. His electrical transformer and
electromagnetic generator marked the beginning of the age of
electric power. His name is associated with the unit of capacitance.

• Joseph Henry (1797–1878), American physicist, discovered selfinduction around 1831, and his name has been designated to
represent the unit of inductance. He had also recognized the
essential structure of the telegraph, which was later perfected by
Samuel F. B. Morse.

• James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879), Scottish physicist, discovered
the electromagnetic theory of light and the laws of electrodynamics.
The modern theory of electromagnetics is entirely founded upon
Maxwell’s equations.
• ErnstWerner Siemens (1816–1892) andWilhelm Siemens (1823–
1883), German inventors and engineers, contributed to the invention
and development of electric machines, as well as to perfecting
electrical science. The modern unit of conductance is named after
them.

• Heinrich Rudolph Hertz (1857–1894), German scientist and
experimenter, discovered the nature of electromagnetic waves and
published his findings in 1888. His name is associated with the unit of
frequency.
• Nikola Tesla (1856–1943), Croatian inventor, emigrated to the
United States in 1884. He invented polyphase electric power systems
and the induction motor and pioneered modern AC electric power
systems. His name is used to represent the unit of magnetic flux
density.
Translation on Chapter Intro
• Fundamentals of Electric Circuits
• This chapter presents the fundamental laws of circuit analysis and
serves as the foundation for the study of electrical circuits. The
fundamental concepts developed in these first pages will be called
upon throughout the book. The chapter starts with definitions of
charge, current, voltage, and power, and with the introduction of the
basic laws of electrical circuit analysis: Kirchhoff’s laws. Next, the
basic circuit elements are introduced, first in their ideal form, then
including the most important physical limitations.

• The elements discussed in the chapter include voltage and current
sources, measuring instruments, and the ideal resistor. Once the
basic circuit elements have been presented, the concept of an
electrical circuit is introduced, and some simple circuits are analyzed
using Kirchhoff’s and Ohm’s laws. The student should appreciate the
fact that, although the material presented at this early stage is strictly
introductory, it is already possible to discuss some useful applications
of electric circuits to practical engineering problems.

• To this end, two examples are introduced which discuss simple
resistive devices that can measure displacements and forces. The
topics introduced in Chapter 2 form the foundations for the remainder
of this book and should be mastered thoroughly. By the end of the
chapter, you should have accomplished the following learning
objectives:
