ESC-101 Introduction to ELectronics

AI Thread Summary
To improve in ESC-101 Introduction to Electronics, focus on mastering foundational concepts such as Kirchhoff's Law, source conversion techniques, and Thevenin theorem for circuit simplification. A strong understanding of passive components and their I/V characteristics, along with the application of superposition in linear circuits, is essential. Many students struggle with op-amps and transistors, so utilizing resources like Sedra's "Microelectronics Circuits" can provide clarity on these topics. Additionally, practicing problem-solving and exploring alternative texts like "Electronic Design" by Carpenter and Roden can enhance comprehension through real-life design examples. Engaging with these materials and seeking solutions to challenging problems will facilitate better understanding and performance in the course.

Just started studying course of ESC-101 Introduction to ELectronics...but did not do well in first mid semester...any suggestions on how to improve in Electronics
Most Welcome
Thx

To improve, the best way is to brush up your basics by having more practice on solving circuits problems.
1. Kirchoff's Law is a must to know
2. Source conversion techniques
3. Thevenin theorem application for simplifying complex systems
4. The I/V charactersitics of passive elements such as resistors, inductors
and capacotors.
5. Superposition application in linear system (circuit)
6. Knowledge on amplifiers such as op amp design and BJT/FET amplifier
design
 
the above 4-5 topics are clear to me but what really created a problem for me is op-amp and tranisistors and i am not able to grasp them well..
 
I recommend Sedra book on Microelectronics Circuits 4th/5th Edition
This book has a comprehensive explanation on the basic and intermediate concepts on amplifier design like op amps, feedback control on op amps, and BJT amplifiers.

Read books to deepen your understanding as well as practice on those problems to gain further insight on how to solve amplifier problems and design amplifier circuits.

if u people have the solution manual of microelectronics of sedra smith 5th edition then please email me at friendgee4s@yahoo.com...i need this badly...i have to solve the problems ...n these r very difficult...please if anybody have then please send me...

I'm recommending Electronic Design by Carpenter and Roden, the best book in electronics ever. This book has a different approach then Sedra's book. Starting with theory of operation moving towards a MASSIVE amount of real-life design problems/solutions where solutions are supported by complete theory description.
 

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
