The principles of basic electronics include those of basic electricity and the transition between the two subjects is facilitated by selecting "Tuned Circuits" as the first chapter in Basic Electronics. This training course next discusses the operating principles of vacuum tubes and their action in power supplies, amplifiers, and oscillators. The central portion of the text includes a discussion of modulation, detection, transmitters, receivers, antennas, and radio wave propagation. The text concludes with a discussion of electronic test equipment and an introductory chapter on radar

Beginning with a broad picture of the electrical constituents of matter, the book proceeds with a discussion of static electricity, electricity in motion, and electrical circuits. It explains the uses of Ohm's Law, and the Power Equation, and makes applications of formulas involving Kirchoff's Laws. Emphasis is placed on various types of circuits--series, parallel, and series-parallel--and on the theory of induction as applied to electrical apparatus. The essentials of generators and motors are fully explained. The closing chapters include discussions on vacuum tubes, transformers, and...
