Practical Electronics Tutorials

Series of Tutorials that teaches practical aspects of electronics. So we introduce you to fundamental electronic components, how they look and what they do, and their correct usage in your projects. We familiarize you with tools and also train you on their proper usage. We also do hands on experiments and projects so that you become expert on the subject.

Tutorial 1: Setting Up an Electronics Lab

A list of tools you should gather to make a comfortable lab in your home ! See what each tool does and how to use them.

Tutorial 2: Resistors

Resistors are one of the most basic and widely used electronic components so we start our series on components with Resistors. Let us see how they look and what they do.

Tutorial 3: Capacitors

After resistors, come the Capacitors. How they look, what they do, how to solder them everything in this part.

Tutorial 4: Diodes

There are huge varieties of diodes available and numerous applications like conversion of AC to DC, voltage regulation and many others.

Tutorial 5: Printed Circuit Boards

Learn everything about PCBs. How they are useful in modern electronics.Whats are pads, tracks, silkscreen.

Tutorial 6: General Purpose PCBs

General purpose PCBs, as their name suggests is the generalised from of PCB. By generalised we mean that we are free to make any kind of circuit as we wish using this PCB. This makes it useful for small scale production of electronic devices and also for testing out new ideas before production.

Tutorial 7: Breadboard

Breadboard is an advance tool for test circuit fabrication without any soldering and has the ability for easy modification and corrections.

Tutorial 8: Transformers

Transformers are at the heart of power supply units for any electronic device that is to be powered from household wall power plugs. They help step down the higher voltages to lower voltages suitable for electronic circuits inside the devices.

Tutorial 9: Relays

Relays are very interesting and useful electronic component. They are a kind of switch, like those we use everyday in our home and offices to turn on and off electrical devices like bulbs, TVs, fans etc. The function of relay is to control the switching of a relatively heavier load which demands high voltages (like 240 V AC mains) or high current, from a relatively low voltage control signal (like 5v or 12v)
