Textbook in PDF format Grob’s Basic Electronics provides thorough, comprehensive coverage of all of the important fundamentals of DC and AC circuit theory. It also covers the most common electronic devices and their applications. The book has an endless number of worked-out examples showing detailed step-by-step solutions. Also, a multiple-choice self-test as well as an abundance of homework problems appear at the end of every chapter in the book. Art is Laurie Cassell’s profession and passion. His calm and ordered life is just how he thinks he wants it, but it’s becoming harder to ignore the creeping feeling that calm and ordered has become dull and predictable. Laurie craves more but doesn’t know what, or not until a man with dark hazel eyes and a bad attitude swaggers into his life — and leaves with his heart. The 2024 release of Grob’s Basic Electronics provides students and instructors with complete and comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of electricity and electronics. The book is written for beginning students who have little or no experience and/or knowledge about the field of electronics. A basic understanding of algebra and trigonometry is helpful since several algebraic equations and right-angle trigonometry problems appear throughout the text. The opening material in the book, titled “Introduction to Powers of 10,” prepares students to work with numbers expressed in scientific and engineering notation as well as with the most common metric prefixes encountered in electronics. Students learn how to add, subtract, multiply, divide, square, and take the square root of numbers expressed in any form of powers of 10 notation. Chapters 1 through 12 cover the basics of atomic structure, voltage, current, resistance, the resistor color code, Ohm’s law, power, series circuits, parallel circuits, series-parallel (combination) circuits, voltage and current dividers, analog and digital meters, Kirchhoff’s laws, network theorems, wire resistance, switches, insulators, primary and secondary cells, battery types, internal resistance, and maximum transfer of power. The first 12 chapters are considered DC chapters because the voltages and currents used in analyzing the circuits in these chapters are strictly DC. Chapters 13 through 27 cover the basics of magnetism, electromagnetism, relays, alternating voltage and current, capacitance, capacitor types, capacitive reactance, capacitive circuits, inductance, transformers, inductive reactance, inductive circuits, RC and L/R time constants, real power, apparent power, power factor, complex numbers, resonance, filters, and three-phase AC power systems. Chapters 13–27 are considered the AC chapters since the voltages and currents used in analyzing the circuits in these chapters are primarily AC. Chapters 28 through 34 cover the basics of electronic devices, which include semiconductor physics, diode characteristics, diode testing, half-wave and full-wave rectifier circuits, the capacitor input filter, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), zener diodes, bipolar junction transistors, transistor biasing techniques, the common-emitter, common-collector, and common-base amplifiers, JFET and MOSFET characteristics, JFET amplifiers, MOSFET amplifiers, class A, class B and class C amplifiers, diacs, SCRs, triacs, UJTs, op-amp characteristics, inverting amplifiers, noninverting amplifiers, and nonlinear op-amp circuits. These seven additional chapters covering electronic devices may qualify this text for those who want to use it for DC fundamentals, AC fundamentals, as well as electronic devices
