What physical phenomena enable the operation of electronic devices?

How to solve DC and AC circuits?

How to design electronic circuits?

Electronics are everywhere & # 8212; thanks to it, we do shopping, play, communicate and move every day. More or less technically advanced electronic devices surround us from all sides. They also enter those areas of life in which we have not even been able to imagine them until recently. Mobile phones, computers, televisions, home appliances, payment terminals, ATMs & # 8212; all these are electronic devices, and electronically controlled devices are even as simple as seemingly everyday objects, such as irons, vacuum cleaners or ovens. This ubiquity of electronics is not, however, accompanied by a basic knowledge of the principles of its operation among users, because most people seem to be unnecessary, boring and too difficult to learn.

This myth helps to dispel the book & # 8222; Electronics. Pocket lexicon & # 8221; , which presents the most important quantities and electric units in a simple and understandable language, introduces physical phenomena underlying the operation of various devices and presents the principles of functioning of electrical and electronic systems. Reading the lexicon will help you to understand how the DC and AC circuits work and will approximate the methods for determining the parameters of their work. The book presents both the basics of analogue and digital technique & # 8212; is a compact and brief, but astonishingly complete review of the achievements of human ingenuity in this field. The whole is supplemented with information on the mathematical tools necessary for proper understanding of the presented material as well as the design and analysis of electronic circuits.
