Electronic Concepts

Hybrid e-book:
This e-book teaches electronics theory with focus on fault isolation. It is a very short book, yet it covers
basic networks, transistor circuits and integrated circuit operation. Each chapter in this book links to our
online circuit animations, and online tutorials. The book is designed to be a quick read. It is not intended
to be the must comprehensive book ever written, but is intended to be the best free interactive Internet
orientated e-book available today. This e-book is unique in that it teaches fault isolation in parallel with
basic electronics. It is short because it does not include calculations to complex to perform while
troubleshooting. I also have not included any topics that pertain to the brick and mortar world, such as
safety, using tools or operating test equipment. For those of you who wish to specialize in electronics much
more study will be required. Click number 33 to see a large selection of online resources. Also, don't
forget that most public libraries usually have a good selection of electronics books. This book is special in
that the text of book works in conjunction with Web graphics and animation to provide a true multi-media
experience.
Interactive Performance Orientated Education:
Students' performance is measured by their ability to perform realistic troubleshooting and circuit analysis.
I have left testing of student by having them perform calculations on paper to conventional textbooks.
However, I do teach how to perform calculations using JavaScript. See my online JavaScript site Click
number 35! Each time I introduce a new electronics concept, I try to illustrate its usage with circuit
animations and troubleshooting simulations. This teaches future technicians how to apply these new
concepts to circuit troubleshooting, and teaches future engineers how these concepts are applied to circuits.
Troubleshooting a circuit is the best way to test your comprehension of electronic topics. Simply reading
about electronics can often be a bit boring, this can result in poor comprehension and concentration.
Having student apply newly acquired knowledge to fault isolation assures meaningful learning.
Virtual Training (The new reality.)
Many aspects of electronic troubleshooting require the use of tools, test equipment and
physical contact with Unit Under Test (UUT). Some faults can be seen or smelled. My
simulations only include voltage, frequency, and current data. However, more and more
of troubleshooting consists of interpreting data on a computer display. At times,
automobile mechanics use computers to troubleshoot modern cars. Thus, virtual fault
isolation is the new reality.
