Electronics labs for beginners - to get started with electronics

ISBN-13: 978-0-9896278-5-6

Dr. Veronique Lankar

Those are hands-on labs I have developed for an outreach program for high school students. We will go over the basics ideas of resistors, poentiometers, diodes, inductors, transformers, capacitors, photocells, photoresistors. We will build simple oscillators, a simple motor and a simple generator with magnets.

About the Book

Those are labs I have developed for an outreach program for high school students. They are hands-on experiments to get started with electronics/electricity. We will start with turning a DC adapter to a DC power supply (3V to 12V) and to learn how measure voltage and current. Then we will investigate Ohm's law, basics of circuits in series and in parallel. We will use a breadboard and jumpers to build small circuits starting in unit 3. We will go over the basics ideas of resistors, poentiometers, diodes, inductors, transformers, capacitors, photocells, photoresistors. We will build simple oscillators, a simple motor and a simple generator with magnets. Do not buy the materials all at ounce. By them as you go along the labs.

Table of Contents

Unit1 : Measuring voltage and current /simple circuits in series/calculating power/ switches and potentiometer as a voltage divider/ building power supplies with an AC adapter (120VAC to 3VDC, to 12VDC) and an USB plug

Unit2 : Resistors/Ohm's law/potentiometer as a variable resistor/build a simple  electromagnet and coil gun

Unit3: Circuits on the solderless breadboard/audio jack/transformer Step up and step down / oscilloscope/electricity from the grid

Unit4: Circuit in series vs in parallel/photoresistor (LDR)/ build a simple motor

Unit5: capacitors/diode/inductor/build a simple AC generator

Unit6: relay/transformer and induction/switching transistor/ simplest motor

Unit7: capacitor to control a switching transistor / LDR to control a switching transistor/blinking LED with a LCR oscillator / next step: Op amps.

The Leanpub 60 Day 100% Happiness Guarantee

Within 60 days of purchase you can get a 100% refund on any Leanpub purchase, in two clicks.

Now, this is technically risky for us, since you'll have the book or course files either way. But we're so confident in our products and services, and in our authors and readers, that we're happy to offer a full money back guarantee for everything we sell.

You can only find out how good something is by trying it, and because of our 100% money back guarantee there's literally no risk to do so!

Earn $8 on a $10 Purchase, and $16 on a $20 Purchase

We pay 80% royalties on purchases of $7.99 or more, and 80% royalties minus a 50 cent flat fee on purchases between $0.99 and $7.98. You earn $8 on a $10 sale, and $16 on a $20 sale. So, if we sell 5000 non-refunded copies of your book for $20, you'll earn $80,000.

(Yes, some authors have already earned much more than that on Leanpub.)

In fact, authors have earned over $14 million writing, publishing and selling on Leanpub.
