Course content

2 sections • 25 lectures • 2h 0m total length

  • Brief introduction to Voltage, Current, Ressistance, & Capacitance.4:26

    Discover the basics of voltage, current, resistance, and capacitance through water analogies. Learn how these quantities interrelate and how they are measured and used in circuits.

  • Multimeters4:34

    Explore how a multimeter measures volts, amps, resistance, and continuity. Understand how ranges improve accuracy, how to connect probes in parallel for voltage and resistance, and in series for continuity.

  • OHM's Law2:47

    Master Ohm's law by relating resistance, current, and voltage, using the Ohm's law triangle to calculate any variable and substitute equations for circuit calculations; distinguish omega and non omega devices.

  • Buttons & Switches (Plus poles and throws explained)4:15

    Explore buttons and switches as fundamental interfaces, learning open and closed states and the default resting position. Compare momentary and maintained switches and how poles and throws shape circuit connections.

  • Test #1
  • Resistors3:27

    Learn how resistors limit current with ohm's law, read color band values for carbon, metal, and metal-oxide types, and use them in series, parallel, and as pull-ups for microcontrollers.

  • Transistors4:50

    Explore how transistors act as fast digital switches in semiconductors, with emitter, base, and collector enabling on/off control of high power loads, underpinning binary computing and low power operation.

  • Diodes5:29

    Discover how diodes steer current with forward and reverse bias, illustrating anode and cathode concepts. Explore uses like half-wave rectifying, reverse-polarity protection, and flyback circuits.

  • Capacitors5:06

    Learn how capacitors store electrical charge and discharge quickly, governed by capacitance and the dielectric, and how they smooth power, filter DC, and power timing.

  • Inductors4:55

    Explore how inductors store energy in magnetic fields created by current, resist changes via back emf, and shape dc and ac circuit behavior for filtering, sensing, and power transformation.

  • Oscillators4:24

    Explore how oscillators generate ac signals from a dc source, define frequency in hertz, and compare sine, relaxation, and non-sinusoidal types, with LC, RC, crystal, MEMS, and 555 timer examples.

  • Test #2

Requirements

  • Absolutely 0 prior electronics knowledge is needed.
  • An passion & interest in learning how electronics work and how to use them in your projects!

Description

This course is the extension to my popular "Electronics crash course" YouTube series with over 43,000 viewers in the last 5 months.

This course was designed with a singular goal -- to make learning electronics fun, and approachable for everyone. Electronics are at the heart of the 21st century from robotics, automobiles, automation, communications, security etc. This course will be your best friend in helping familiarize you with the history, theory, & use-cases behind the core electronics that power our world.


What makes this course so unique?

Before we dive into the details of this course, I want to share with you what makes this course special. When I started learning electronics, all the courses, and guides I found were overly technical, too long for my attention span, and far too boring. This course fixes all of that. Each lesson is roughly 5 minutes long, uses animations to explain complex concepts, and I use real world analogies to help you understand complex concepts. Plus this course has zero boring PowerPoints or slideshows.  We also touch on the history and fun facts about the why of each electronics that keep the lessons more interesting.

Furthermore, each video lesson is paired with a very deep video article that dives much deeper into the concepts if you want a deeper knowledge, and each video has a quiz to make sure that you are able to understand the concepts being taught! This approach makes it incredibly easy to get a breadth of knowledge and also a depth of knowledge.


Lastly, new lessons are added each week so you can keep learning!

Do feel free to check out sample lessons via the preview tab. 

Who this course is for:

  • Absoulte begginers who want to learn electronics concepts in a non-technical manner with bite sized video lectures
