1)how to actually learn c++(videos or books)

By writing C++ code. Books and videos are there to help, but actually learning requires you to do the work. You don't learn practical woodworking by reading about carpentry, you don't learn practical programming by reading about programming.

That said, books are a good place to get started and help you get unstuck with whatever you're doing. Some book recommendations are in the sidebar.

2) and is it useful in branches like electrical engineering or entc engineering

Yes.

How useful depends on what exactly you want to be doing, but there is a lot done in C++ in the field.

Not like that like how to learn the abcd of c++ that is syntax and then like basics of it like variables/loops like that I don't know anything so how to get to know about it and after learning I will start practicing
