Course Description

Welcome to "Beginner Electronics," a comprehensive course designed for those embarking on their journey into the world of electronics. With a total duration of 5 hours and 27 minutes, this course is meticulously structured to provide you with a solid foundation in basic electronics principles and practices.

The course falls under the Professional category and specifically caters to aspiring Electricians in the Electrician subcategory. Our course has received high praise from students, boasting an impressive average rating of 4.84 out of 5 stars, reflecting the quality and effectiveness of the content delivered.

The journey begins with an updated Introduction, setting the stage for what will be covered throughout the course. It advances into understanding the differences between Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC). As you progress, you'll delve into the concepts of Closed and Open Circuits, Flow and Resistance, and the critical role Resistors play in electronics.

From there, you’ll explore Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and learn to calculate the necessary resistance for circuits. Your first practical experience comes with the construction of your First Circuit, followed by discussions on essential tools and components needed for a successful electronics practice.

The use of Breadboards and Multimeters is essential for anyone working in electronics, and they are covered comprehensively. You will also get an insight into reading and understanding Schematic diagrams, Switches, Circuit Design, and measurements.

Fundamental theories such as Ohm's Law, and the relation between Power and Wattage are clarified. The structure of Series and Parallel circuits, and the function of Potentiometers and Buttons are discussed in detail. Capacitors, Diodes, Relays, and NPN Transistors follow, each with practical applications and theoretical insights.

Advanced topics include Relay Oscillators and Speakers, the workings of Integrated Circuits like the 555 Timer, and an introduction to Microcontrollers and Arduino. Furthermore, the course explores Logic Gates, Floating Inputs, and Binary concepts — all cornerstones of modern electronics.

To wrap up the curriculum, you will delve into Binary Arithmetic, understanding Binary Half-Adders, Full-Adders, and Binary Subtractors, providing you with a rounded understanding of digital electronics fundamentals.

Whether you're aspiring to become a professional electrician or simply fascinated by the field of electronics, this course offers a robust platform to build your knowledge and practical skills. Join us in “Beginner Electronics” and illuminate your path to expertise in the electronics domain.
