About this ebook

What you will learn

Learn what the common parts in an electronics kit do, how to read their markings and how to connect each one safely. You will use Ohm's law to choose resistors, find the legs of LEDs, diodes and transistors, power a project from batteries and a 7805 regulator, and read a datasheet before you build.

Who it is for

Students building science projects, robotics and electronics.
