Electrical & Electronics Fundamentals — What This Subject Is About
To explain electricity and basic electronics from the ground up — current, voltage, circuits and components — with simple experiments.
Common Curriculum • 1st Semester • All 41 Engineering Branches • 1st Semester (First Year — Common Curriculum) • Session 2026–27
About this document: The first year of a BTEUP diploma runs on one common curriculum for 41 engineering branches, so this subject is the same whether you are in Computer Science, Mechanical, Civil or Electrical. The subject areas below are from the official 1st-year curriculum (folder2627, NEP-2020). Paper-wise codes, marks and L–P hours are not stated here because they are yet to be confirmed from the official 1st-year PDF — please confirm them with your own polytechnic.
What You Will Study
Basic Electrical Concepts
Charge, current, voltage, resistance and power; Ohm's law; series and parallel circuits.
The five quantities behind every electrical circuit, and how they relate.
AC & DC
Direct current and alternating current; single-phase AC in brief; transformers in brief.
The two kinds of electric supply, and how voltage is changed for transmission and use.
Electronic Components
Resistors, capacitors, inductors; diodes and transistors in brief.
The small parts that make electronic circuits work.
Measuring Instruments
Multimeter; ammeter and voltmeter; measuring voltage, current and resistance.
Measuring a real circuit and checking whether it behaves as expected.
How This Helps You Later
Electrical and electronics fundamentals are the direct base of Computer Networks and the IoT subject in the 5th semester.
