Need help with series-parallel circuits research paper

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on writing a research paper about series-parallel circuits as part of an electrical technician degree. Participants confirm that referencing books, such as "The Art of Electronics" by Hill and Horowitz, is acceptable, and emphasize the importance of original thought in research. It is clarified that the paper should be informative and structured to teach readers about series-parallel circuits, rather than merely summarizing existing literature. Additionally, including a bibliography to cite sources is recommended.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of series-parallel circuit concepts
  • Familiarity with research paper structure and requirements
  • Basic knowledge of electronics literature
  • Ability to conduct online research effectively
NEXT STEPS
  • Read "The Art of Electronics" by Hill and Horowitz for foundational knowledge
  • Explore high school-level electronics textbooks for additional insights on circuits
  • Learn how to properly format a bibliography and citations
  • Research online resources about series-parallel circuits for diverse perspectives
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for electrical technician students, educators in electronics, and anyone tasked with writing research papers on technical subjects.

Hello everyone, i just started a electrical technician degree at a tech school. right now were about to start with series-parallel circuits...but we need to write a research paper on it. i have never done a research paper not even in high school. so my question is can i read a book or two on series parallel circuits and then write the paper in my own words and use the books as a reference? from what i heard from some friends is that i am supposed to do this as if i was learning it ... should this paper be written as if i was going to read this paper and learn series-parallel circuits from the reading?

if not does anyone have any web links >?thanks

What you are indicating is not a research but a project. Research is something that is original and discovered/invented by you, not copied from any book.

For your purpose, you can surely refer to a book. A good book on electronics is The Art of Electronics by Hill and Horowitz. But you can find series and parallel circuits in any high school book. Also do a google search; there will be hundreds of sites providing you with good information.

Generally in such a project, a Bibliography is attached at the end where the references are mentioned. If you're not sure, you should have a word with your course instructor.
