Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the need for example problems in electronics, specifically for a course titled "Electronics for Scientists." Participants express concerns about the lack of examples in the course materials and seek resources that provide practical applications of the concepts taught.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests websites or books with electronics example problems to aid in understanding course material.
  • Another participant criticizes the initial request as vague and suggests elaborating on what is meant by "electronics examples."
  • A participant points out that the forum is not intended for requests for learning materials but rather for sharing links or actual materials.
  • Further clarification is provided by a participant who mentions the specific textbook being used, "Basic Electronics: An introduction to electronics for science students," and notes that the course covers circuits, including concepts like Kirchhoff's laws.
  • One participant recommends "Schaum's Outlines of Electric Circuits" and "Schaum's Outlines of Electronic Devices and Circuits" as resources containing necessary examples.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the vagueness of the initial request, with some seeking more detail while others provide resources. The discussion does not reach a consensus on the best approach to finding example problems.

Contextual Notes

Participants highlight the limitations of the current course materials, specifically the absence of example problems and the expectations set by the instructor regarding the application of formulas.

Anyone know of any websites or books that have lots of electronics example problems? I'm in an Electronics for Scientists class and the book has zero examples it goes through to show you how to apply the stuff it tells you about in the chapters. The teacher doesn't go through any examples similar to questions we'll see on homework or tests, he just gives us formulas and expects us to know how to apply them to each situation we're given. So it would help if I could have example problems to look at that would show me how to use each of these electronics ideas.

I would have put this thread in "math and science learning materials" but for some reason I can't create new threads in that forum.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You are extremely vague. You should elaborate on "electronics examples".

That's because those forums are not for requesting learning materials. They're for links to such materials, or the actual materials themselves.

Yes. I think that it also might be helpful to specify the text that is being used for the course.
 
Yeah I guess that is vague. But the book we have is "Basic Electronics: An introduction to electronics for science students".

The class is all about circuits. So it extends from the very basic stuff we learned in Physics 2 about circuits, such as Kirchoff's laws and stuff.

Oh ok, I was just about to post the thread and found that forum and was happy I was going to post a thread in the right forum for once, and then I wasn't able to.
 
Schaum's Outlines of Electric Circuits
Schaum's Outlines of Electronic Devices and Circuits

All the examples you need.
 
Thank you very much.
