Perhaps nothing is more representative of modern technological culture than electronic devices. Yet how do these often mysterious "black boxes" really work? This course offers an overview of the basics of electric/electronic circuit research, starting with a summary of electrical theory and moving to simple circuit components like power supplies, resistors, capacitors, and inductors.
Typically the course also offers an intro to the actual circuit design, construction, test, and measurement, giving the hobbyist a jumping-off point for more pursuit of the issue. In addition, the course highlights some key ideas of semiconductors and semiconductor devices (like transistors). Lastly, the lessons conclude with a look at some applications of the principles discussed throughout the course. The particular lessons are designed to serve students with a variety of backgrounds, and they require only a little level of mathematical aptitude (some algebra is helpful but not necessary to understand the primary ideas of the course).
Each lesson offers a sufficient background to help novices understand the principles that underlie the functioning of electric and electronic circuits. The course can assist as a review of the basic concepts of signal theory or as a starting point for a more in-depth study of particular areas of interest, such as semiconductor devices, complex electronic networks, signal design, and hobbyist consumer electronics.
