CHAPTER 2
Components and Schematics
To begin, I will familiarize readers with various components used in electronics. For this chapter, only selected components such as wires, batteries, capacitors, resistors, inductors, and some semiconductors will be explored. Other devices not covered in this chapter will be presented in subsequent chapters. For example, in this chapter, bipolar transistors will be mentioned, but field-effect transistors (FETs) will not be covered here. However, Chapter 6 will cover FETs.
One idea in writing this chapter was to limit the scope to components and to cover the rest of the different parts elsewhere in this book. ...
