"Basic Electronics was written for the students studying the principles and applications of electricity and electronics for the first time. No prior knowledge of the technical aspects of the subject is assumed. The chapter of the text is a survey of the entire field of electricity and electronics, its familiar and not-so-familiar applications, and the career opportunities it affords men and women today and in the future. The last chapter is on integrated circuits, the technology on the cutting edge of advancements in electronics. Between these two chapters, the book has a comprehensive coverage of subjects that form the heart of basic electronics. Beginning with the atomic nature of electricity, the topics progress through a study of resistors, an introduction to direct current, Ohm's law, fundamentals circuits, networks, measurements, magnetism, alternating current, inductance and capacitance, time constants, resonance, and filters. These fundamentals form the basis for the study of electronic device and circuits, transistor amplifiers, digital electronics, and integrated circuits. The study of communications, consumers electronics (radios, TV, VCRs, etc.), industrial controls, microprocessors, and computers rests n these fundamentals."
