Electronics for Everyone: A Beginner’s Step by Step Guide

Are you a beginner in electronics? Do you want to learn how to build your own circuits? The Electronics for Beginners Course is the perfect way to get introduced to electronics. You’ll learn about electrical safety, circuit basics like voltage and current, and how to read a schematic. You’ll also work through introductory lessons on motors, transistors & diodes, capacitors & inductors, signals & oscillators. With this course, you’ll learn all sorts of different concepts like soldering and working with motors, and the safety of using electronics.

Introduction: Like most things in life, electricity is more complex than you may think. A lot of conditions have to come together to make that little spark when you touch a doorknob or provide the power to run a supercomputer. To understand how electricity works, it helps to break it down into its parts. Electricity is created when voltage pulls an electric current through a conductor. But when you sit down and run a wire between a switch and a light, just where do you get the juice (the electricity) to power that light?​
