Fundamentals of Electric Circuits (FEC) is a globally popular textbook used in engineering colleges and competitive exam prep because it explains even tough circuit concepts in a super clean, beginner-friendly way.
📌 What Makes This Book Special?
✅ 1. Concepts explained from absolute basics
Even if you know nothing about circuits, the book builds you up step-by-step.
Ohm’s law, KVL/KCL, node analysis, mesh analysis → everything is introduced very smoothly.
✅ 2. Tons of solved examples
For every concept, they give simple → medium → advanced solved examples.
You understand “why” something works, not just “how to solve it.”
✅ 3. Very good diagrams & intuitive explanations
Circuits are drawn clearly, explanations are visual and logical.
Perfect if you like understanding the idea, not just formulas.
✅ 4. Practice problems = goldmine
Each chapter includes:
- Review questions
- Practice problems
- Challenge Problems (tough!)
These match the difficulty level of GATE pretty closely.
✅ 5. Covers whole GATE syllabus
Everything GATE expects in Network Theory is covered:
