Engineering - MITAOE
What are the Principles of Electrical 
Engineering?
• Electrical engineering deals with the 
understanding of designing, working and 
functioning of different types of equipment. The 
types of equipment mentioned here are the ones 
which use electricity, electronics and 
electromagnetism for their operations. To 
understand the working of these pieces of 
equipment, it is essential to understand the 
basic principles of electrical engineering on 
which these pieces of equipment are based. 
• The aspiring Electrical engineers have to be 
very well aware of these principles as these form 
the basis of all the education, they are going to 
get about being an electrical engineer. Below 
are the principles on which electrical engineering 
is based on
Electricity
• Electricity is nothing but a form of energy which 
is the flow of electrons. These electrons are 
responsible for creating charge and generate 
electricity. The electricity is used for numerous 
purposes in our daily life be it switching on the 
light for brightness or to charge the phone or 
laptop or various other chores. Electricity is 
undoubtedly the most commonly used source of 
energy.
• The basic principles of electrical engineering are 
based on the three parameters of electricity
The Volt
• The electromotive force or the Volt is a 
quantitative expression of the potential 
difference in charge between two points in the 
electrical field. The flow of the electric current 
depends upon how the Voltage is, higher the 
flow of Voltage more the electricity. Voltage is 
measured in Volt, which is named after an Italian 
physicist Alessandro Volta. 
• Voltage can be understood by a simple 
definition that it is the amount of potential 
energy between two points on a circuit. If 
one point has more charge than others, 
then the difference between these charges 
is called Voltage.
The Ampere
• The Ampere defines the flow rate of the electric 
current, in other words, it is a unit of measure of 
the rate of electric current in an electrical 
conductor. It is essential to be able to quantify 
the current flow in the system, and this will help 
to estimate the performance of the circuit, which 
has to be defined. A unit is required to gauge the 
performance of the circuit, and this unit is called 
Ampere or amp. The unit of electric current is 
named after the ‘Father of Electrodynamics’ a 
French Physicist and Mathematician called 
Andre-Marie Ampere.
The Ohm
     The unit of resistance in a conductor is known 
as the Ohm. The unit of resistance is influenced 
by three things, they are the size of the 
conductor, the material of the conductor and the 
temperature of the conductor. If the length of the 
conductor increase or the diameter of the 
conductor decreases the resistance of the 
conductor to increase and on the contrary , if the 
material of the conductor is more conductive 
then the resistance of the conductor decreases. 
• And if there is a rise in temperature, then 
the resistance of the conductor also 
increases. This unit of resistance is named 
after German physicist Georg Simon Ohm.
Ohm’s Law
• Ohm’s Law gives the correlation between 
electric current (I), Voltage (V), and resistance 
(R) in a conductor.
• Ohm’s Law is expressed as V = I × R
• Where: V = volts, I = amps, R = Ohms
• These are the fundamental 
principles of electrical engineering which 
student who want to pursue electrical 
engineering should be aware.
• MIT Academy of Engineering (MITAOE), Alandi, 
Pune is the Engineering institute in Pune 
which offers the undergraduate and 
postgraduate courses for electrical engineering. 
Although the concepts of electrical engineering 
are overwhelming MIT Academy of Engineering 
(MITAOE), have a learning-centred approach, 
the faculty gives personal attention to the 
students, and the institute thrives on making the 
teaching and learning process more effective. 
This makes the students understand the concept 
clearer and better
Conclusion
• Maharashtra Institute of Technology (MIT) is the 
first private Engineering Institute to be 
established in the city of Pune, Maharashtra. It is 
one of the premier institutes for Indian and 
international students offering Undergraduate 
and Postgraduate courses in Engineering, 
Management, Medicine, Pharmacy, Design, and 
so on.
• MIT Academy of Engineering (MITAOE), Alandi, 
Pune, was established in 1999 under MAEER by 
the honorable Prof. Dr. Vishwanath D. Karad, 
Founder and Executive President of MIT Group..
