Description:

Electronics: A First Course starts with the basics of electricity and component types, and introduces students to practical work almost straightaway. No prior knowledge of electronics is assumed.

This is a complete introductory textbook intended for courses leading to GCSE Electronics. It also caters for the Electronics sections of GCSE Design and Technology (Electronic Products), for the Electricity and Magnetism sections of GCSE Physics, the GNVQ unit on Electronics for Engineering, and the Intermediate GNVQ unit on Electronics Principles and Applications.

Most of the text is divided into numerous short Topics, presented as double page spreads. These cover the topics common to the majority of the specifications at the level of the Foundation Tier (FT). The topics are dealt with thoroughly, with simple explanations and plenty of examples and illustrations. This double-page presentation has two advantages. It allows students to confine their attention to the particular topics found in a given specification. It also presents the student with self-contained, easily assimilable and readily testable segments of knowledge.
