Understanding Basic Electronics 2nd Edition

You don’t have to be an engineer to enjoy the thrill of experimenting with electronic circuits! Whether you’re a student with basic math skills (add, subtract, multiply and divide), or a radio amateur interested in gaining a more complete understanding of basic electronic principles, Understanding Basic Electronics is a great tool to have on your shelf. This book is written in a friendly, easy-to-understand style that beginners and nontechnical readers will enjoy. Use this book before studying more complicated tutorials or taking on challenging real-life projects. A handful of “kitchen table” projects are included in this book to help bring abstract concepts to life.

Featured Topics Include…

• Electronics – Learn terminology and the building blocks of analog and digital circuits.
• AC Circuit Concepts – Discover alternating currents, frequency, transformers, impedance, and resonant circuits.
• Techniques and Tips – Learn how to use a scientific calculator, common schematic symbols, and how to solve circuit problems, with examples to help you learn the basics.
• DC Electrical Concepts – Understand how conductors, insulators, and resistors control electricity.
