Basic Electronic Skills Fun And Easier!
“This Special Beginning Basic Electronics Program Starts With The Two Downloadable Books Below“
The First Book Covers The Nine Most Important Topics You Need To Know In Basic Electronics!
Current And Voltage
A simple direct explaination of what it takes to get those invisible electrons moving in a visible circuit.
Chapter 1 is about the factors that must be present in any circuit to make it operate. We’ll talk about voltage and current flow and an example that we have all seen of a static charge causing a current to flow. Next we talk about conductors and insulators and why conductors conduct and why insulators insulate. Plus a few other interesting things about voltage and current.
Resistance And Resistors
Discover which materials can control the flow of those amazing little electrons.
Now that we have those electrons moving we need to manage them and this means talking about resistance and defining the ohm. We move on to why resistors have two values. Next we talk about resistivity of common metals and how that information is used to compare different conductors.
Electrons & Capacitors
This explains how the strange ‘Electric Field’ can be contained in a box.
Here I explain how a capacitor is made of metal plates or foil separated by an insulating material. It’s the insulating material that holds the important electric field and affects the total capacitance as well as the maximum voltage that can be applied. We talk about nine common insulating materials and their ‘dielectric constants’ which is a measure of how well each contains the electric field and other interesting facts about capacitors and how they work.
Inductance And Coils
Find out what happens when a Magnetic Field and a Coil of Wire come together.
This is the chapter where I introduce the concept of induction. Here you will learn about how a magnetic field cutting through a coil of wire induces a voltage in that coil. We talk about how the inductor works with current flow and magnetic fields and how important that knowledge will become later on.
Alternating Current
Here find out why it’s so important to shuttle those electrons back and forth.
Alternating current powers the world today and there is good reason for that. In one word it’s – transformers!
In this chapter we talk about different types of common alternating current waveforms. Including the square and sine wave.
And voltages at various times in the waveform. And we talk about frequency of waves and why they are all measured based on exactly one second in time.
Introducing Transformers
How transformers change something into something that looks like something else.
Since we talked about alternating current and inductors, that brings us right to transformers.
For one thing they can change or transform A.C. voltage to a value more
useable. Transformers can step voltage up or down or both and transform impeadance. You’ll find transformers in use from power line frequencies up through radio frequencies. Understanding a little about how transformers work is important.
Introduction To Reactance
Learn about a weird type of resistance that consumes zero power.
Here I return to an imaginary circuit used in an earlier chapter, only here I replaced the battery with a step down transformer and with this we apply imaginary A.C. voltage to our circuit components to see what takes place when A.C. is applied. This is where I introduce the effect of reactance and how it changes with the frequency of the applied A.C. voltage. It’s all explained in this interesting chapter.
Introducing Impedance
This is what happens when you combine resistance with reactance.
Now this is where it gets really interesting, because impedance is what you get when you combine pure resistance with reactance from the last chapter! A.C. current and voltage will not stay in step or phase with each other when reactance is present and will lead or lag depending on if the circuit is capacitive or inductive. I explain all this confusion away using very simple terms in this interesting chapter on impedance.
Semiconductors – Transistors and Diodes
This chapter provides a strong overview and basic understanding of these components.
Chapter nine is a good overview of transistors and diodes both old and new. We talk about silicon and germanium diodes and transistors. I’ll tell you about about a third type of diode that was at one time very common, but almost unknown today. We talk about how bipolar transistors are put together as three separate layers and we’ll talk about field effect transistors (FET) including JFET, MOSFET and other types.
You’ll also learn about a type of silicon diode that is used as a variable capacitor and a diode that is used as a microwave oscillator and one that is used as a voltage regulator.
