Electronics Foundations: Basic Circuits

As is the case with many technical projects, it's possible to assemble an electronic circuit without really understanding the different parts involved—you can just connect components together to match an electronic schematic. That said, in order to debug an existing circuit—or design your own—you have to actually understand how the individual electrical components work and how to use them together. In this course, electrical engineer Barron Stone shares the knowledge and tools you need to do exactly that. You’ll learn how to build basic circuits using resistors, capacitors, and inductors, how each component works, and common circuits that use them. The course also explains the difference between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC), how to use an oscilloscope to view electrical signals, and how to build passive filter circuits to remove unwanted frequency components from signals.
