circuit knowledge
i recently began working on some things. never went to school for electronics, but self learn on web. i printed out a schematic for a power supply, and for the first time, constructed a functional replica on breadboard. this was a first, and quite the accomplishment for my utter lack of fundamental skills.
anyways, i wanted to move onward by just replicating another circuit. a small fm transmitter. but i can't seem to get a functional result. i don't even know how to determine the value of my Misc. Capacitor GrabBag pruchase.
what bothers me most is the whole concept of an electrical circuit. ya series, ya parallel. ya series-parallel. but how can you conceive a circuit from an idea? how can you calculate corresponding components' effects to produce an certain result? i'm stuck.
i'll see capacitors and resistors in a circuit that connect to the same ground as many others on the same path. how do each of these contribute to the output when they are like limbs on a tree, not tied back in.
oh i'm so confused, lol
can anybody help me out here?
