What is considered the best electronics books for physics undergrads who want to learn the basics of electronics? I would go and buy the art of electronics but many say that is more of a reference book than a textbook.

The microprocessor bit is out of date, it doesn't cover high frequency (wifi/bluetooth) and it's annoying that it doesn't tell you why some of the bad designs are bad - but it's still the best.
edit - it seems there is a new edition due next year, but they have been saying that for the last 10years !
The best electronics textbook for beginners is "Practical Electronics for Inventors" by Paul Scherz and Simon Monk. It covers all the fundamentals of electronics in an easy-to-understand manner, making it perfect for those with no prior knowledge in the subject.
Yes, "Electronic Devices and Circuit Theory" by Robert L. Boylestad and Louis Nashelsky is a comprehensive textbook that covers both digital and analog electronics. It is widely used in college courses and is a great resource for understanding the principles of electronics.
"Microelectronic Circuits" by Adel S. Sedra and Kenneth C. Smith is considered the go-to textbook for preparing for competitive exams such as the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). It covers a wide range of topics and has numerous practice problems and exercises to help students prepare.
Yes, there are many online resources for learning electronics, such as "All About Circuits" and "Electronics Tutorials." These websites offer free tutorials, articles, and interactive tools for learning electronics. They can be a great supplement to traditional textbooks.
The most up-to-date electronics textbook is "Fundamentals of Microelectronics" by Behzad Razavi. It covers the latest technologies and developments in the field of microelectronics and is a popular choice for both students and professionals. The book also includes online resources such as lecture slides and interactive simulations.
