Everyone today is exposed to electronic devices in one way or another.  The computer revolution is a good example.  Everyone can benefit from additional knowledge of electronics.  Even a quick scanning of this page will help.  A study of electronics starts with electricity, magnetism  and basic electronics.  This includes Ohm's law and other basic principles of electricity.  Obtain and study various books on electronics - this is really a must as each author will explain things in a little different way to help you grasp the concepts.  

All the links found on 101science.com were screened to provide you with the BEST the internet has to offer on each subject.  This will save you many hours of searching for good educational material.  This site is for everyone from the beginner to expert electrical engineering professional.  There is something here for every level in the world of electronics.

Maybe you already know some basic electronics and want to test yourself to see exactly how much you do know.  Or, you want to have a test so you can see your progress.  Whatever your needs are here is a free, online, ready to take now, that you can download and take on your schedule.  BASIC ELECTRONICS TEST HERE.

You must have a good basic electronics text book in your hands that is easy to read and easy to learn and includes everything to get you started in the right direction.  Our recommendation is the book, "Basic Electronics" by Grob.  This is an excellent textbook used by many high schools, vo-tech institutes, colleges and universities throughout the United States.  This book is easy to understand by anyone on their own.  The illustrations are clear and include worked out problems. 

Best first electronics book - understand electronics in simple plain language.  Has the math too if you want it or ignore it and learn electronics in its simplest plain language form. A great book everyone interested in electronics should have.

HOW DO YOU LEARN BASIC ELECTRONICS? 

First, browse quickly through all of the red numbered steps to learning basic electronics form the main electronics page.  Don't try to absorb it all at once.  Just briefly review them then go back to step one, here, and look at a few of the links provided about electricity.  Again, don't try to absorb everything all at once, just let it roll in and what you understand is fine and that you don't understand will come to you later.  Just relax and enjoy browsing around.  You will be amazed at how much sinks in.  Later you can study areas that interest you in greater detail.  There are many great books you can purchase to help you in your studies.  

Please review some of the links below then go back to the main menu and select red #2 in the index table for the next section of your basic electronics session.  Follow this in turn through all the red numbered items.  Also, feel free to investigate any of the other indexed subjects that you may be interested in.

ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM BASICS - This module will introduce you to many of the basic concepts involved with Electricity and Magnetism.  It is suggested that you review the MATTER  module in the Chemistry section first.  We will introduce you to static charge, moving charge, voltage, resistance, and current. You will be able to discover Ohm's law. We will learn about the properties of magnets and how magnets are used to produce electric current.  Exactly what is electricity? Click HERE.

RESISTANCE - is the opposition to current flow.  The practical unit of resistance is called the ohm.  A resistance that develops 0.24 calorie of heat when one ampere of current flows through it for one second has one ohm of resistance. 

Ohms Law Calculator with Watts: http://www.anderson-bolds.com/calculator.htm

To learn about Ohm's law click >>HERE.    I = V/R, V = I*R, R = V/I, and P = I*V are the fundamental formulas of Ohm's law.  (The * means to multiply the two quantities together).  Where V is the circuit voltage in volts, I is the circuits amperage in amps, and R is the resistance in ohms.   As an experiment you can set up a circuit by connecting  resistors in series with a battery, measure the voltage across the resistors with a voltmeter, measure the current in the circuit by placing an ammeter in series with the resistors and battery.  If you know the voltages and current in the circuit you can use Ohms law to calculate the resistance.  With the resistor out of the circuit you can measure it's resistance directly with an ohm meter.  The multi-meters today can measure ohms, volts and amperes (usually miliamperes)  all in one piece of test equipment.

Confused?  Take a look at the resistor circuits next and that should help. Then come back to ohms law and it should make more sense.
