Master the Fundamentals in electronics using inductivity and capacitance

Are you curious about how electronics work but don’t know where to start? This beginner-friendly course is designed for anyone with no prior knowledge or experience in electronics. Whether you’re a complete novice or simply exploring a new interest, this course will guide you step-by-step through the essentials of electricity and electronics in an engaging and easy-to-understand way.

What You’ll Learn

This comprehensive course is divided into five structured sessions, each building on the last to give you a solid foundation in electronics:

Session 1: Introduction to Electricity and Basic Circuits

• Understand the core concepts of electricity, including voltage, current, and resistance.

• Explore Ohm’s Law and the relationship between these fundamental quantities.

• Get hands-on with EveryCircuit simulation software to visualize how circuits work.

• Learn to use a multimeter to measure voltage, current, resistance, test diodes (including LEDs), and utilize the continuity feature.

Session 2: Alternating Current (AC) and Electromagnetic Fields

• Dive into the world of alternating current (AC) and its unique characteristics.

• Discover electromagnetic fields and the principle of induction.

• Learn how kinetic energy is transformed into AC, including the generation of the classic sine wave.

Session 3: Inductors in DC and AC Circuits

• Explore the behavior of inductors in both DC and AC circuits.

• Use EveryCircuit simulations to monitor voltage and current in real-time.

• Understand the impact of frequency on current and the phase shift between voltage and current in AC circuits.

Session 4: Capacitors in DC and AC Circuits

• Investigate how capacitors function in DC and AC circuits.

• Leverage EveryCircuit to observe voltage and current changes in capacitive circuits.

• Study the effects of frequency on current and the phase shift between voltage and current.

Session 5: Practical Applications of Inductors and Capacitors

• Build and analyze real-world circuits, including a smartphone charger and a resonator (the foundation of a radio receiver).

• Use EveryCircuit to develop these circuits step-by-step, reinforcing your understanding of how inductors and capacitors work together.
