Electronics for rapids. Edition II

• Where does the electric current come from?
• How to read diagrams?
• What are the possibilities of integrated circuits?

If you have ever wondered how electrical devices work, and now you would like to try your hand and build your own electronic circuit, you need knowledge of electronics and electricity. Sounds terrible? Do not be afraid! This book has nothing to do with the complicated textbooks you know from school or college. Here everything has been explained in a clear and accessible way. A large number of examples and hand-made and working systems will make you move in the world of electronics in a few days!

All thanks to the book from the series "For rapids". During the reading you will learn how your iPod, computer and TV remote control work. However, first you will learn the elementary safety rules and some important features of the current. Then you will see how the parallel and serial systems behave and you will remember Ohm's basic law. In addition, you'll learn how to use the potential of capacitors, combine them and build filters. Little? The following pages are useful knowledge about coils, semiconductors and integrated circuits. After the theoretical introduction, it's time to practice, because, as the authors say: " To learn, you have to get dirty ." In this part of the book you will complete the equipment needed for work, you will understand how to read diagrams, take measurements and solder. At the end you can do your own projects and check where to get the best equipment. If you've always dreamed about playing with electronics, you've come to the right place. This book is just for you!
