This course provides an easy-to-understand breakdown of the building blocks that make up most of the electronic, solid-state controls and devices in use today. From the basic theory behind semiconductors, to diodes, transistors and more complicated electronic devices, this course pulls back the curtain on an often-misunderstood subject area.  (Course designed by ESCO Institute.)

In this course, you will learn to:

• The properties of silicon and precautions as conductor of electricity.

• N-Type and P-type materials creation.

• Construction, function and operation of diodes, transistors, and diacs, triacs and bilateral switches.

• How diodes can be used to construct rectifier circuits.

• The properties of a thermistor.

• The differences between an NTC and PTC.

• The function and operation of a transducer.
