Course description

Basic Electronics is designed to provide foundational knowledge of electronic concepts, devices, and applications. The course covers electric current, voltage, resistance, Ohm’s law, and the use of basic components such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, and light-emitting devices (LEDs).

Students learn to read circuit diagrams, build simple circuits, and understand the flow of current and voltage across components. Topics also include AC/DC electricity, basic measurements using multimeters, and safety practices when working with electronics.

Through hands-on experiments and simulations, learners develop practical skills in assembling and troubleshooting basic circuits. The course is particularly relevant for careers in electrical engineering, computer hardware, mechatronics, and technical maintenance.
