Background
Knowledge
Electronics is a subfield of physics and electrical engineering which uses active
Subject devices such as transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits to control and amplify the
Description flow of electric current and to convert it from one form to another. Electronics
engineers design and develop electronic equipment, including broadcast and
communications systems, such as portable music players and Global Positioning
System (GPS) devices and also computer hardwares. Basic electronics forms the
foundation for more advanced topics in electronics and is essential for anyone
interested in working with electronic devices or pursuing a career in electronics
engineering. This course comprises the minimal “electronics components” that
includes resistors, transistors, capacitors and diodes to make up a part of everyday
electronics equipment. This course provides the student with the fundamental skills
to understand the basic of semiconductor and components like diode, transistors,
operational amplifier and logic gates. The students can learn the basics of the
electronic devices and components used in design of electronic circuits via this
 subject. It will build the mathematical and numerical background for design of
electronics circuit.
