The field of electronics has seen an unparalleled growth in the last 60 years, from the invention of the transistor to the making of the processor. In this ever evolving field, the modern day student has been observed to jump to complex circuit designing without having a firm understanding of the internal circuit elements and the tools that are used to analyze them. This book is an attempt to redress these shortcomings by providing an apt and concise description of basic electronic components and apparatus and how to work with them practically. Theoretical description is followed by specifying the practical considerations so as to cement the student?s understanding of the component/apparatus. This edition contains a more detailed component description with focus on real life usability. We have included many pictures showing the different shapes and forms of each component that are available. A set of questions has been included after each practical so as to challenge the students...
