Learning Electronics

Kindy suggest some books, websites and other resources for learning electronics.

Hello Laxman,

I will recommend "Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics" by Stan Gibilisco. Please see attached file for the pdf copy.

Hi Laxman,

Other option would be NEETS (Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series). It comes in module and you could learn a lot from it. Please see below.


Module 1 - Introduction to Matter, Energy, and Direct Current


Module 2 - Introduction to Alternating Current and Transformers


Module 3 - Introduction to Circuit Protection, Control, and Measurement


Module 4 - Introduction to Electrical Conductors, Wiring Techniques, and Schematic Reading


Module 5 - Introduction to Generators and Motors


Module 6 - Introduction to Electronic Emission, Tubes, and Power Supplies


Module 7 - Introduction to Solid-State Devices and Power Supplies


Module 8 - Introduction to Amplifiers


Module 9 - Introduction to Wave-Generation and Wave-Shaping Circuits


Module 10 - Introduction to Wave Propagation, Transmission Lines, and Antennas


Module 11 - Microwave Principles


Module 12 - Modulation Principles


Module 13 - Introduction to Number Systems and Logic Circuits


Module 14 - Introduction to Microelectronics


Module 15 - Principles of Synchros, Servos, and Gyros


Module 16 - Introduction to Test Equipment


Module 17 - Radio-Frequency Communications Principles


Module 18 - Radar Principles


Module 19 - The Technician's Handbook


Module 20 - Master Glossary


Module 21 - Test Methods and Practices


Module 22 - Introduction to Digital Computers


Module 23 - Magnetic Recording


Module 24 - Introduction to Fiber Optics

Sir,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Kindly suggest a way to build circuits at home for learning purpos

Electronics can seem like a Herculean field in itself, especially because you usually do not have a ton of reference materials if you are pursuing some study of sorts on it.

Anyone interested in studying Electronics would know that we can safely divide the subject in two sections- Analog and Digital. So what are the basic differences between both of these?
Analog electronics usually deals in electric current which is in amps and voltages which are in volts and its value varies in certain time. With digital electronics there are two variables in a circuit to study the electrical circuits and voltages and these variables can be wither present or not during the apparatus operation.

So, what makes Electronics interesting is that it has PRACTICAL APPLICATION in every nook and corner of the studies. You crop up ideas and get to implement them with wires and gadgets. So, when you google or download PDF, go for digital Electronics videos tutorials than mere text. Diagrams and lectures are utmost important. Avoid lengthy discussions or over-explanation materials. Best of luck !

Hi Laxman
i would recommend
Books:Electronic Devices and circuits - David Bell
Analog Electronic circuits - U B Mahadevaswamy
Logic Design Sudhakar Samuel

Good day Laxman,

The following books will surely help you understand more about electronics, from its fundamental topics to the much more complicated ones.
# Electronic Devices and Circuit Theory = Boylestad and Nashelsky = http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/1DKin/Lesson-1/Speed-and-Velocity
# Grob's Basic Electronics = Schultz = http://www.slideshare.net/ovalence/electronics-grobs-basic-electronics-11-ed-schultz or http://www.mhhe.com/career/promo/eMags/Grob11eCh3/flash.html#/1/
# Electronics Devices = Floyd = http://www.slideshare.net/ovalence/electronics-electronic-devices-9th-ed-floyd
# Electronic Principles = Malvino = http://www.slideshare.net/ankitsirji/electronic-principles-by-albert-malvino

Hope this helps you. Ciao!
