Preface
Chapter One: If you don’t know what a resistor is, don’t know hot to read a schematic, and wouldn’t know a 10uF capacitor if you collided with one, Chapter 1 is for you
Chapter Two: A survey of how and where to find parts at reasonable prices

Chapter 1

A Little Theory

If you really want to get into theory, libraries, book stores, and electronic stores all have books about basic electronics. But for now, let’s simply take a quick look at four important concepts: voltage, current, resistance, and capacitance.

Figure Example

American schematics; when a resistor value includes a decimal point (i.e., 2.7k, 1.2M), the k or M is inserted where the decimal point would normally appear. Here are some examples of American nomenclature and the metric equivalents…
