Drawing Circuits When designing circuits it is not practical to draw physical likenesses of the components you wish to use. In place of each component a symbol is use to represent it. For example:

Semiconductors Semiconductors are quite possible one of the most important things in the modern world. The are made from crystals and can act as conductors or insulators in different circumstances.

The Basics Electricity is essential not only to life but to every element we know of. It is one of the build blocks of atoms, and that is the best place to start to understand electricity. In case

Diodes Diodes are one of the most common semiconductor devices. As we know from the last page, both N and P type silicon conduct electricity. The conductivity (or resistance) of both is by how doped

Switches The are many types of switches but in this section we'll just go into mechanical switches. Switches allow or stop the flow of current or control which path it is to take. The simplest swi
