Description
Build your electronics workbench ?and begin creating fun electronics projects right away Packed with hundreds of colorful diagrams and photographs, this book provides step-by-step instructions for experiments that show you how electronic components work, advice on choosing and using essential tools, and exciting projects you can build in 30 minutes or less. You'll get charged up as you transform theory into action in chapter after chapter! Circuit basics ? learn what voltage is, where show more current flows (and doesn't flow), and how power is used in a circuit Critical components ? discover how resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and transistors control and shape electric current Versatile chips ? find out how to use analog and digital integrated circuits to build complex projects with just a few parts Analyze circuits ? understand the rules that govern current and voltage and learn how to apply them Safety tips ? get a thorough grounding in how to protect yourself ?and your electronics ?from harm Electronics For Dummies (9781119675594) was previously published as Electronics For Dummies (9781119117971).

I enjoyed this book but it is pretty simplistic. This is understandable and forgivable since it is a book written for laymen or for people that are totally unfamiliar with Electronics. In that vein of thinking, it makes a lot of comparisons between electronic circuits and plumbing or other things of that nature.
I was only interested in the theory portion of the book, so I didn't read all of it, but I got the gist of it. In any case, this book would be great for hobbyists and others that want to build circuits for fun. It might also help to renew some of that old learning with mentions of Kirchoff and Ohm and all those old guys, but don't really count on it. On the one hand, they do explain some of the equations and do provide examples show more with worked solutions, but on the other hand, they don't really go into any depth with what they talk about. Thus, this book is good, but not really what I was looking for. show less
