Textbook in PDF format

Growth in electronics has been ust A and thisin turn has changed the life style of people. The ease, precision, sophistication and flexibility provided by electronies in all kinds of modern systems such as communication, computer, control, automation and entertainment has made it a very important subject. of study for engineers of all specialisations. Electronics has, therefore, been made a Core subject in engineering curricula of all disciplines including those not specialising in Electrical Engineering. This book on ‘Basic Electronics’ has been written as a text book fulfilling the needs of first year engineering curriculum. It aims at developing fundamental concepts, imparting a basic knowledge of the working of devices and explaining how the devices are used in circuits and systems, Any student having a background of Physics and Mathematics at the Higher Secondary level and an exposure to one course in Electrical Circuits can use this book effectively. It is also suitable for self reading and it is hoped that the practicing engineers will find it useful for refreshing fundamentals of electronic devices and circuits, Greater emphasis has been laid on concepts rather than rigour and circuits is included only to support. the physical ideas, Quantitative treatment of circuits and devices and a large number of worked out examples have been used to illustrate the concepts. The review questions at the end of each chapter are included to help.the student guage his own depth of understanding and are meant for self testing. Some problems are also included and should be worked out at home to give a good grounding of the subject
