Could it be that you always had an interest in electronics but you hesitated to start learning it because perhaps you think your math isn't all that good or you're afraid that learning electronics might be just too complicated and you don't want to fail?

If so, then you just so happen to be at the right place at the right time because this hands-on mini course in basic electronics is for people just like you.

Do you like things to be simple, fun and most of all understandable with no weird formulas or high level mathematics yet still want to receive a complete hands-on understanding of basic electronics and be able to design and build simple circuits of our own?

Below Is A List Of Things To Expect In The Basic Electronics Hands-On Mini Course.

**One of the first things you will learn is the relationship between current and voltage and how current is the amount of electrons flowing in a "complete" circuit and voltage is the pressure that causes them to flow. You will see an example of a high voltage build up and a surprising discharge when you unexpectedly complete the circuit. This example has happened to us all.

 

 **Next you will learn all about resistors and their effect on voltage and current. Resistance is measured in ohms. A resistance of 1 ohm will allow a current of 1 amp to flow when a voltage of 1 volt is applied. This relationship between current voltage and resistance is known as "Ohms Law" This really simple and basic equation is the backbone of electronics!

 

 **When you have current flowing through a resistor, that resistor is dissipating heat and this heat is measured in watts. You will learn a really easy way to figure out the amount power in watts a circuit is using. You will learn a really simple way to calculate resistors in series and resistors in parallel.   Important Tip: With resistors in series, the total resistance is always the sum of all of the resistors. Resistors in parallel, the total is always less than the lowest value resistor.

 

 **After resistors you will learn about capacitors. A basic capacitor consists of two metal plates separated by an insulator and this guide shows you why the material that the insulator is made of is so important to the electric field that is contained in it. Energy is stored as an electric field between the two plates of the capacitor, the amount of energy it can hold depends on the capacitor's value. Capacitors are measured in farads or more commonly in micro farads and pico farads. The name comes from Michael Faraday (1791-1867) a very interesting man. Read some about him if you get the chance. You will be introduced to some simple circuits using capacitors and this guide explains exactly what's happening along the way.

 

 **Now you will be introduced to inductance which is a pretty cool property of coils, then comes alternating current and you will find out what happens when alternating current is applied to capacitors, resistors and inductors. You may be very surprised!

 Now that you have alternating current you can have transformers those interesting devices that make something look like something else! Now it really starts to get interesting and that's just the beginning, there's a lot more fun stuff to learn about in this mini hands-on basic electronics course.
