A workbook of practice problems has been created to help you learn the basics of electronic circuits.
Listed below is a playlist of some short introductory video lectures to lead you through fundamental topics in electronic circuits. A solid understanding of basic concepts will serve you well going forward. You are encouraged to watch these videos repeatedly until they are second nature.
Other and more detailed videos may be found online. However, many tutorial videos on YouTube were created by people who are not expert, fully informed, and/or knowledgable. Be very discerning in the tutorial videos you watch. Be sure to know the background of the creator. The best and most accurate videos on technical topics are created by educators and highly-experenced practicioners. In general, videos created by university students contain many errors.
