PHYSICS & ELECTRONICS
Physics & Electronics: 50 Free Pages
Fifty short, original pages that connect school physics to the electronics on your breadboard: light, electricity, magnetism, induction, modern physics, then transistors, capacitors, diodes, Boolean algebra, semiconductors, the 555 timer and soldering. Every page has its own original diagram.
Physics vs Electronics
Reflection and Refraction
- Laws of ReflectionHow light bounces off a smooth surface.
- Image Formation in Plane MirrorsWhy you seem to stand behind the glass.
- Concave and Convex MirrorsCurved mirrors, focus and the mirror formula.
- Refraction and Snell's LawWhy light bends when it changes medium.
- Total Internal ReflectionWhen a boundary acts as a perfect mirror.
Electricity
- Electric Charge and CurrentThe moving charge behind every circuit.
- Potential Difference, EMF and ResistanceEnergy per charge and what opposes the flow.
- Ohm's Law, Series and Parallel CircuitsThe physics view of a simple relationship.
- Electrical Power, Energy and Heating EffectHow circuits turn electrical energy into heat and light.
