Basic Electronics explains electronic fundamentals using easy-to-read, easy-to-understand explanations coupled with detailed illustrations. It brings seeing and doing together for a very meaningful learning experience, and delivers practical applications at the same time. The book contains worked-out examples within the text to solidify understanding of specific ideas, and quizzes and problem sets at the end of each chapter to complete and reinforce the learning cycle. Basic concepts, device and circuit fundamentals, and circuit applications provide full-scope coverage of electronics in 11 chapters.

TABLE OF CONTENTS:
1] Learning about Electronics
why one material insulates and another conducts, shows how current is a flow of electrons
2] What is DC Electricity
explains direct current and how it relates to voltage, identifies series and parallel circuits, summarizes
resistance, capacitance, inductance
3] What is AC Electricity
explains alternating current, how it is generated, how it varies, how it relates to DC values, defines
impedance and vector addition
4] Diodes & Transistors
explains 2 element diodes and 3 element transistors, and how they are used in circuits
5] Amplifiers & Oscillators
discusses transistor amplifiers and biasing points
6] Radio Transmitters & Receivers
how information is placed on a carrier wave, radiated from an antenna and recovered by a receiver
7] Digital Circuits
how circuits handle digital information in series, parallel, or timed signals
8] Digital Logic Circuits
how logic circuits make decisions and how they are combined to perform tasks
9] Electronic Memories
how memory circuits combine to make random-access and shift-register memories
10] Photoelectric Devices
how photo diodes, transistors, solar cells, and LEDs work and are used in circuits
