Fundamentals of Electronics

This book enables readers to become familiar with the concept of basic electronic circuits. First, basic electrical circuit elements, including resistors, capacitors, and inductors, are introduced. Additionally, examples of independent and dependent current and voltage sources are provided. Various examples illustrate solid-state electronics. Ideal and practical diode circuits are discussed with multiple examples. DC and AC analyses of amplifiers based on bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) are also be covered.
This book provides readers with a solid foundation in basic electronics concepts and offers over 140 detailed examples to reinforce understanding. The clear, straightforward language makes complex topics easier to grasp, and the inclusion of numerous problem-solving exercises helps students and researchers develop practical skills they can apply in real scenarios.
·Introduces readers to key fundamentals of circuit analysis and amplifier design
·Uses over 140 examples to explain concepts being introduced
·Uses simple language to make the content accessible by readers with varying backgrounds
