Complete Electronics: Self-Teaching Guide with Projects
Are you ready to keep up with the rapidly evolving world of electronic products? From smartphones and tablets to MP3 players and digital cameras, this resource will build your understanding of how the latest electronic circuits work. You'll dive into hands-on projects and walk through the calculations and concepts for key circuits to get you up to speed. As you progress through the chapters, you'll learn how to build the circuits, and then observe or measure how they work so you can apply the information on your own.
Learn how to control the flow of electric current
Design a transistor circuit, and compare the switching action of a JFET and a BJT
Explore the use of resistors, capacitors, and inductors in bandpass and band-reject filters
Use BJTs, JFETs, and operational amplifiers in amplifier circuits
Find out how an oscillator works, and then design and build one
Discover how a transformer converts AC voltage to a higher or lower voltage
Calculate the values of components that produce a specified DC output voltage for a power supply circuit
The book's website (www.buildinggadgets.com) provides project pages that include links to suppliers and are kept up to date with supplier part numbers for components you'll need.

Thoroughly sound but extremely basic. It covers only the simplest amplifiers, oscillators and transformers, yet it expects you to have an oscilloscope and a signal generator. The student would pass her exams but she wouldn't enjoy it.

It's easy to read and easy to follow. It's got useful question and answer sections to keep you actively learning. It keeps the language simple and slowly guides you into more and more complicated subjects.

The author hasn't done any of their own experiments and makes up the data you 'should' get. They couldn't be bothered to even try.
