Investigating Electronics

Assuming no previous knowledge of electronics, this introduces basic principles to the student beginning electronics. The book is divided into three parts including logic gates, multivibrators and digital microelectronics. It explains the relationship between voltage, current and resistance and introduces a range of common electronic components. The circuits have been built and tested, so this book can be used as a practical course as well as a reference text. It also provides practical exercises and self assessment questions to reinforce important aspects. It is intended to give an adequate cover of the EITB TR21 basic training requirement in electronics. It may be useful reading for those studying design and technology in schools and colleges and for students taking BTEC Engineering courses.
