Electronic book for complete beginner?

In summary, the conversation is about a beginner looking for a book to learn about electronics. The person recommends checking out different books at the library and suggests one with examples. Another person recommends a free downloadable book called "Electricity - Basic Navy Training Courses" for those serious about learning electricity and electronics. The book is described as a basic reference for enlisted men in the Navy and includes worked out examples and quizzes. The conversation ends with well wishes for the beginner's learning journey.

I found this one to be quite helpful when starting my degree, although each person may have a different recommendation as it is largely dependent on what you find best. If your at uni or near a library, have a look at a few different ones and see which is best. One with examples will help too :)

Hi Kenny Bala! Welcome to Physics Forums!

“This tutorial is a brief introduction to the concepts of charge, voltage, and current. This tutorial is not as long and tedious as a college textbook, yet it contains more information than students are likely to find in an elementary schoolbook.”

I first learned electronics in Navy schools, so I am a little biased. So, if anyone is serious about learning electricity and electronics, this free downloadable book is the best choice possible!

“Here is the "Electricity - Basic Navy Training Courses" (NAVPERS 10622) in its entirety (or will be eventually). It should provide one of the Internet's best resources for people seeking a basic electricity course - complete with examples worked out (links to quizzes at end of chapters).

PREFACE
This book is intended as a basic reference for all enlisted men of the Navy whose duties require them to have a knowledge of the fundamentals of electricity.”

I wish you good luck along your path to more knowledge.
