AI Thread Summary
Self-teaching resources for electrical engineering (EE) basics can be found at the NEETS website, which provides a comprehensive overview of essential topics. It is recommended to focus on foundational subjects such as Basic Circuit Theory and Digital Electronics, as these are accessible for self-study and can be practiced at home. Additionally, students may find that math and chemistry pose greater challenges than EE courses. Gaining hands-on experience with electronics can also enhance understanding. Starting early with these resources will provide a solid foundation before entering college.

Hello,

I am going to college in a couple months (next semester after summer). I want to know where I can self-teach myself some basics to get a head start.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

I would start here to get a general idea of what information needs to be studied: http://www.hep.uiuc.edu/home/sibert/NEETS/index.htm

Look at your classes - the hardest ones are probably not the EE classes - Math & Chemistry were my challenges. But then I had been playing with electronics since I was 12 yrs and had two years of electronics in HS ( I went the vocational route - until I realized it was not challenging enough).
As for EE related - study the foundation topics - Basic Circuit Theory and perhaps Digital Electronics - they are pretty easy to learn on your own - and experiment with at home.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
