When it comes to learning anything new, the first thing I try is to see if I can find something FREE on the Internet. A few years ago, while searching for electronics know-how, I found some very good information. And it happened to be free also.
Tony Kuphaldt spent many years compiling lessons on AC, DC Digital electronics and more, and gave it all for free.
It is called ‘Lessons In Electric Circuits'. Over 2,500 pages in 6 volumes of simple and easy to learn information that is available to download in HTML or PDF for free. It is here:
(Sorry, I can't post external links yet, so this is what I can post for now,) Maybe a moderator can fix the links?
www.ibiblio.org/kuphaldt/electricCircuits/index.htm And it is also here:
www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbookAnother website that has TONS of free information is here:
www.talkingelectronics.comtalkingelectronics has some stuff for sale, but there's no need to buy anything. You can download PDF's of almost anything on the website. Or for $10 he put the complete website on a DVD and mail it to you.
Another great website that is free is here:
www.electronics-tutorials.ws I have found a lot of good information about electricity and electronics on those websites.
