 PREFACE

With the announcement of vacancies by Uttar

Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) for the
post of Assistant Engineer, it has given hope for many
engineers between jobs. MADE EASY has always
been a success partner for engineers right from the
onset of engineering education up to they get a formal
tag of engineer.

Owing to needs of students to utilise this opportunity in a fruitful way, it gives me great happiness
to introduce Electrical Engineering Practice book for UPPSC-AE Examination. While preparing
this book utmost care has been taken to cover all the chapters and variety of concepts which
may be asked in the exam. It contains more than 2700+ multiple choice questions with answer
key and detailed explanations, segregated in subject wise manner to disseminate all kind of
exposure to students in terms of quick learning. Attempt has been made to bring out all kind
of probable competitive questions for the aspirants preparing for UPPSC. This book also help
every student to perform in an extraordinary way.

Full efforts have been made by MADE EASY team to provide error free solutions and explanations.
The book not only covers the syllabus of UPPSC but also useful for other examinations conducted
by various Public Service Commissions.

Our team has made their best efforts to make the book error-free. Nonetheless, we would highly
appreciate and acknowledge if you find and share any printing/conceptual error. It is impossible
to thank all individuals who helped us, but I would like to sincerely acknowledge all the authors,
editors and reviewers for putting in their efforts to publish this book.
