Year: 2009 Language: english Author: Dickon Ross, Cathleen Shamieh, Gordon McComb Genre: Textbook Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Edition: 1st ISBN: 0470681780 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 380 Description: All too often, electronics seems like a mystery, because it involves controlling something you can’t see – electric current – which you’ve been warned repeatedly not to touch. That’s enough to scare most people away. But as you continue to experience the benefits of electronics on a daily basis, you may begin to wonder how so many incredible things can happen in such tight spaces. This book is designed to explain electronics in ways you can relate to. It gives you a basic understanding of exactly what electronics is, provides down-to earth explanations of how major electronic components work and gives you just what you need to build and test working electronic circuits and projects. Although this book doesn’t pretend to answer all your questions about electronics, it does give you a good grounding in the essentials. We hope that when you’re done with this book, you’ll realise that electronics isn’t as complicated as you may have thought. And we want to arm you with the knowledge and confidence you need to go deeper into the exciting world of electronics.
