Grob's Basic Electronics

by Mitchel E. Schultz

"Grob's Basic Fundamentals of DC/AC Circuits" is written for the beginning student pursuing a degree in electronics technology. In covering the fundamentals of electricity and electronics, this text focuses on essential topics for the technician and the all-important development of troubleshooting skills. This highly practical approach combines clear, carefully-laid-out explanations of key topics with worked-out examples and problems to solve. Review problems that follow each section reinforce material just completed making this a very student-friendly text. It provides the student with complete, comprehensive coverage of all of the fundamental concepts of DC and AC circuit theory. This first edition combines the tried and true "Grob's Basic Electronics" with more specific study in DC/AC Circuitry. For the first time, instructors can choose between Grob's Basic Electronics 10th edition, with its additional coverage of devices or this new, concise Fundamentals of DC/AC Circuits. The focus on absolutely essential knowledge for technicians, including troubleshooting failed circuitry, keeps this book completely practical.

This is a pretty dense book, but I am reading it out of interest.

A very good book for beginners in electronic. Easy to understand without flooding reader with too much technical knowledge.

This book covers three semesters of electronics. I've made it through one semester. It's structured pretty well with enough overlap that you can pick and choose what you want to focus on. Lots of opportunities to test yourself, or pause for reflection :)

As this is the only electronics book I've ever read it's hard to review.

I will say that the difficulty picked up around chapter 6. I recommend all school students to study the first 6 chapters obsessively to get down the basics and ace the early tests so you can coast through the increasingly difficult ones thereafter. Me? I gave up on the self study as I couldn't reliably absorb the material thenceforth. But I lay the blame a deficient brain, not the book. The book I'll rate 4 stars. Go, book.

I just wish I was up to the challenge of learning electrical schematics. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

what edition is this?

An ideal reference book for my 13 y.o. son

I studied this book back in the 80s. I think it was the 3rd edition.
Now that I am retired from electronics (mostly Avionics) I am reading and studying it again to keep my brain sharp.
I also have about 30 other basic electronic text book.

So, my review in a nutshell....
"I DARE YOU TO FIND ANOTHER BASIC ELECTRONIC TEXT BOOK BETTER THAN THIS ONE!!!!!!"

It is step by step, starting at the very basic all the way up to operational amplifiers.

You will have to go to another textbooks for digital electronics (like Malvino) and electronic communications (Shrader) and i also recommend Basic Mathematics for Electronics (Cooke)

NOTE: I started working through the 12th edition, as stated at the start of this read, however, I happened to come across and am finishing up with the 13th edition,which contains a new chapter on three-phase AC power systems along with some technical updates.
