Learning circuit design the fun way

Welcome to the world of electronics!

Getting started in electronics is not as difficult as you may think. Using this book, you will explore and learn the most important electrical and electronics engineering concepts in a fun way by doing various experiments and by simulating circuits. It will teach you electronics practically without getting into complex technical jargon and long calculations. As a result, you will be creating your own projects soon.

No prior knowledge of electronics is required, only some basic algebra is used in a few simple calculations. Many tested and working projects and simulations are presented to familiarise yourself with the construction of electronic circuits. Circuit simulation is introduced at an early stage to enable you to experiment with circuits easily without breaking anything.

You will learn:

The concepts of voltage, current, and power
AC and DC
Basic lamp circuits with switches
Passive components: resistors, capacitors & inductors
RC & RCL circuits
Electromagnetism
Loudspeakers, relays, buzzers, and transformers
Active components: diodes & LEDs, bipolar transistors & MOSFETs
Transistor-based switching circuits
Optocoupler circuits
Astable & monostable multivibrators
Using the 555 timer IC
The operational amplifier
Digital logic
Advanced examples: amplifiers, oscillators, filters, and sensors
Test and measurement tools
Microcontrollers: Arduino UNO, ESP32, Raspberry Pi Pico, and Raspberry Pi
Reading datasheets and best practices for selecting components
