Basic Electronics
This is an introductory course in analog and electronics, with an emphasis on applications commonly used in experimental physics. Through a combination of electronics theory and “hands-on” experience, you will be able to understand, calculate and construct electronic circuits with real-world application.
In the course, you will be introduced to a variety of common electronic circuits, including passive resistor networks, AC filters, operational amplifiers, digital logic, analog/digital conversion, and semiconductor devices such as diodes and resistors. You will learn to both analyze and calculate the circuits’ behavior, and to construct and measure them in the lab.
