Electronic/Electric circuits and schemes & DIY projects

In summary, the conversation involves a person looking for resources to learn about building electronic circuits and projects, including books and online sources. A few links are shared, including a website with information and projects and a site with lectures from Hunter College. A book recommendation is also given for a book that explains how to build electronic devices using operational amplifiers.

Hello,
I want something were I can find electric/electronic schemes and circuits to built by myself, starting from basics to complicated ones (with explanation, why and how it works).

P.S. I'm also interested in books which involves other fields (eg. chemistry) and DIY projects

Here are a couple of links:

A load of DIY projects, mostly related to radio, though:

Site with info and projects:
http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/

I may have some more links, but I have to check my stash and get back here...

1. What is an electric circuit?

An electric circuit is a path or loop through which electrical current can flow. It typically consists of a power source, such as a battery, wires or conductors, and components, such as resistors, capacitors, and switches, that control the flow of electricity.

2. What is the difference between AC and DC circuits?

AC (alternating current) circuits use electricity that changes direction periodically, while DC (direct current) circuits use electricity that flows in one direction. AC circuits are commonly used in household outlets, while DC circuits are used in devices such as batteries.

3. How do I calculate the resistance in a circuit?

Resistance is measured in ohms and can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that resistance is equal to the voltage divided by the current. This can be written as R = V/I, where R is resistance, V is voltage, and I is current.

4. What are some common components used in electric circuits?

Some common components used in electric circuits include resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, and switches. These components can be combined in different ways to create various types of circuits for different purposes.

5. Can I build my own DIY electric circuit?

Yes, it is possible to build your own DIY electric circuit using basic components and tools. However, it is important to have a good understanding of how circuits work and to follow proper safety precautions when working with electricity.
