Why I do not know anything about how this works. I thought myself how to code but each time I see this stuff I struggle with the feeling that I can't seem to find a reasonably DIY knowledge builder for basic science branches like this.
How do you start? Help please.
- DanBC 12y agoA while ago I would have told tou to buy "the art of electronics", and the student manual that accompanies it, and some cheap electronic test equipement and power supply and a bread board and a selection of useful components, and to then spend an hour or so each week ploughing through the book. Today there are probably better ways.
- mikeyouse 12y agoDepending on the depth you're interested in, Khan Academy has some pretty good videos on the topic: https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/electricity-and-magnetism https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/electricity-and-...
- larrydag 12y agoThere are some great Arduino tutorials on basic microcontroller usage. They give you an idea on the basics of electronics.
- facepalm 12y agoWe were taught this stuff in school, although I didn't think of that application then :-) I mean that current running through a coil induces a magnetic field. Maybe just start with a physics school book? Edit: in fact current running through a wire induces a magnetic field (actually, just electrons moving, with or without a wire), I guess the coil just gives it direction and kind of amplifies it (it's been a while).
