Course Lessons
Lesson 1 Fundamentals of Electricity
To begin the course, we introduce some elementary principles of electrical theory specifically related to the study of electronics.Lesson 2 Voltage and Current
In particular, this lesson will introduce and define the concepts of voltage and currenttwo critical parameters of electrical circuits.Lesson 3 Power Supplies and Simple Circuits
In this lesson, we will consider power supplies (sources of voltage and current) and introduce some very simple circuits.Lesson 4 Resistor Circuits and Ohms Law
The lesson discusses a gravitational analogy to resistor circuits to help illustrate what is happening electrically.Lesson 5 Resistor Networks
In the previous lesson, we studied simple single-resistor circuits. Although these circuits illustrate some key principles of electronics, they arent all that interesting by themselves.Lesson 6 Capacitor Circuits
This lesson considers another type of electronic component: the capacitor.Lesson 7 Fundamentals of Magnetism
In this lesson, well look very briefly at magnetism and its relationship to electric charge. These concepts will allow us to discuss another important circuit device, the inductor, in the next lesson.Lesson 8 Inductor Circuits
In this lesson, well add another circuit device to our repertoire: inductors. Our discussion will rely heavily on the concepts of magnetism discussed in the previous lesson.Lesson 9 Building Electronic Circuits
In this lesson, well take a break from our intensive theoretical look at circuits and will turn to some practical considerationsspecifically, some basics of building and testing electronic circuits.Lesson 10 Introduction to Semiconductor Devices
Weve considered a variety of circuit components like resistors, capacitors, and inductors, but perhaps the biggest and most important class of components are based on semiconductorsLesson 11 Electronics Applied: Transformers
In this lesson, well consider an application of what we've learned thus far: transformers. Specifically, well apply what we know about magnetism and inductors.Lesson 12 Electronics Applied: Basic Communication Circuits
The final lesson of this course looks at another application of material from previous lessons: simple communication circuits.
