electronic principles malvino rapidshare

i would recommend sedra and smith and then directly to art of electronics...
by then you would have found your way...

Hi

I am new to electronics and circuits, and I want to learn about them:?:.
Can any one tell me what's the best and easiest book to learn from.
I don't know any thing about electronics, nearly a white sheet, please help.

Thanks alot.

If you want learn electronics, you should read Electronics Principles by Malvino. Read books by Boylestad.

electronic principles malvino english rapidshare

Start with basic circuit analysis.Then go for electronics.
It is better to know electrostatics to understand device physics.

best indian book on electric circuits

Electronic Devices and Circuit Theory by Boylestad & Neshlesky is a good book. You better try it.

best indian electrical circuit books

g.k mehta is for a very beginner who feels electronics difficult...
apart that g.k mithal is also ok...
once u understand fundamentals...better shift to millman and halkies..

Get a book on technical mathematics, as it'll give you some math background, where you'll need, mostly, Algebra but some Trigonometry. ...Calculus will follow later...

Go with Boylestad or Malvino. Learn DC (direct current -- all voltages fixed) circuit analysis. Particularly you want to learn Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Voltage and Current Laws, the Voltage and Current Divider Rules, Nodal, Mesh, and Superposition.

Then move to AC (alternating current -- voltages change) circuit analysis, where you'll find that everything you learned with DC applies to AC, BUT with the addition of some Trigonometry. --- So get it all with DC first!!

Then, once you've done these things, move to Electronic Devices, things such as diodes, Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT's), Field Effect Transistors (FET's), Metal Oxide Semiconductor FET's (MOSFET's), Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCR's) and such. These are all non-linear devices, but, if you got the DC and then the AC circuit analyses, then it's much easier to bridge into these devices.

Likewise, while you're studying the things above, thoughout it all, slowly build yourself an inventory of parts and equipment. First, before you start, get yourself a variable DC power supply. It needn't be anything fancy. Just get something that goes from zero to, maybe, 15 or 20 volts, with a current of up to 500mA (mA = milliamps = 1x10^-3 A) or so. Plus, Radio Shack sells a grab-bag of 1/4 Watt resistors ($12-13) and breadboards ($12? -- a white plastic board with holes, for quick and easy changes of components). Get a bag of these and at least one breadboard. Get a hold of some telephone wire, as it is the perfect guage for breadboarding circuits. Finally, you'll need a multimeter, so you can measure resistance, voltage, and current. Lowes sells some pretty good ones -- make sure your meter is fused, because you will make mistakes!!

Do the above and you'll be answering your own questions for the most part.

And of course, stay tuned to this site! There are some really good people here. Also, if you're so inclined, buy a subscription to Nuts and Volts magazine.

Ohm's Law: Learn it, use it, love it! It is the key!! E=IR -- voltage = current x resistance. Never forget it. Burn it into your soul.

Many books our friends introduced.

In my opinions, The Art of Electronics is a good book, but it is too big, too long, and somewhat out-of-dated, and not suitable for a beginner.

Re: Give me Advice

the best books to learn abt electronocs are
1. integrated electronocs by millman and halkies.
2. micoelectronic ckts by sedra and smith
3.electroncs by boylested

Re: Give me Advice

First a textbook with examples so you learn basic passive elements and learn how to solve simple circuits. Starts with electrostatics and then electrodynamics, if those are correct terms in english. After that you should read about active components like transistors, diodes etc. basic active elements in short (also examples, solve them!). Then you should learn about feedback theory. After you understand all that, you do have a good starting point and you can start reading the already mentioned "Art of electronics" book. Great to begin with, lots of ideas there. That's a lot of work, but if you are interested, it will be fun.

About mathematics involved: diferential equations (multidimensional too) are a must, so are Fourier and Laplace transforms. After a while you should take a look into numerical mathematics just to get the feeling what is behind SW used to simulate circuits. If you are planing to venture into DSP you should read and understand basic about it too (Matlab is great for experimenting in DSP, btw).
