Basic practical electronics HC387 / F09
Summary
This course will teach you how to recognise and use basic electronics components, and will also cover the use of test equipment, including the oscilloscope, signal generator and multimeter. The emphasis will be on the practical, though some appropriate theory will be covered. The course will cover resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors and integrated circuits. You will also learn how to solder correctly and to use a range of tools. You will learn the appropriate skills and knowledge to master the controls of the oscilloscope. It will cover the fundamental terms used when describing waveforms (ac, dc, amplitude, period, etc.).
This course is recommended for all who wish to learn basic practical electronics, including the use of basic test equipment, and learning the effective use of the oscilloscope in the laboratory or workshop. Novices are welcome but it would be an advantage to have some basic knowledge of electronics.
