Customer Reviews

Very reader friendly

This is an excellent book. It is an overview of electricity and electronics for the beginner. It seems to be written for tradesmen and technicians, but could be a suitable introduction for teens looking for an enjoyable hobby. This book won't teach you how to build a circuit. It does explain the operation behind a lot of electrical components and devices. It's a very broad, high level (or "bird's eye") survey of the very wide discipline of electronics. This book doesn't bog you down in mathematics, and assumes only basic skills like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It gives instruction in the use of Ohm's Law and how to make calculations involving voltage, current and power. If you need to start from the very beginning, and I mean from scratch, this book will provide a very readable and enjoyable introduction to electronics. From here, you can go on to buy electronics kits from Tandy or wherever, construct some circuits, learn to solder, and read more about electronics to further your education.
