Welcome to the World of Electronics!
The book starts from the very basics, answering questions such as what is electricity? What is voltage? What is current? and so on. You will then learn about simple electronic circuits and the symbols used in circuits.
Learning electronics is not as difficult as it may seem.
No previous knowledge of electronics is required, only some simple algebra is needed for some simple calculations. Circuit simulation is introduced at an early stage to enable you to experiment with different circuits right away.

Electrical test and measurement tools
Microcontroller development boards: Arduino Uno, ESP32, Raspberry Pi Pico, and Raspberry Pi 5
Electronic component selection and reading data sheets
Electrical EMC and EMI and norms and regulations
Many tested and working projects and simulations are given in the book to make you familiar with the construction and testing of the basic electronic circuits given in the book.
The Practical Electronics Crash Course Kit of Parts
A kit of parts allows building the examples in the book on a breadboard.
The Practical Electronics Crash Course book is complemented by a kit of parts containing most of the components used in the practical examples. This allows you to try out these circuits on a breadboard and see how they behave in the real world. Of course, you can also use these parts to design and build your own circuits.
