Electronics for Absolute Beginners
Electronics can be traced back to 1874, when Irish physicist George Johnstone Stoney (1826-1911) proposed that electricity must be "made" from microscopic electrical charges. He created the term "electron" twenty years later.
Following Stoney's discovery, interest in electronics grew progressively throughout the decades. At Bell Labs in 1947, William Shockley, John Bardeen, and Walter Brattain invented the transistor, which transformed the computer industry by replacing fragile, power hungry valves with considerably smaller and more dependable devices. Computers got more powerful and smaller during the 1950s and 1960s, eventually leading to the advent of the home personal computer (PC) in the 1970s.
Today, electronic devices are all around us... computers, cell phones, televisions, calculators, hearing aids, and automobiles are just a few examples of electronic devices that are used in everyday life in the twenty-first century.
The goal of Electronics for Absolute Beginners is to introduce those who have no prior knowledge of electronics to the subject. If you have no idea what a prototyping breadboard is or what a resistor or diode does, this book will help you get a basic understanding of what electronics components exist and what they are used for. You will also learn how to put such components together to make electronic circuits.
Although the information is presented in a logical order, you can pretty much jump around from chapter to chapter as you choose, picking out the content that is most interesting to you.
Electronics for Absolute Beginners is divided into two sections: the first introduces the topic of electronics, and the second includes a variety of simple circuits to design and build. The book is among the best books on electronics for beginners.
