The second edition enhanced that experience, and now this third edition includes all-new diagrams throughout, new photographs, and completely rewritten text. Learning by Discovery is a system developed by Charles Platt to enable an experience that is fascinating, fun, and memorable. You learn by building your own circuits--and by making your own mistakes. In fact, mistakes are an important part of the experience. The book encourages you to \"burn things out and mess things up\" to find out for yourself the limits of electronic components. You'll blow a fuse and watch an overloaded LED, and you can cut open a relay to see how it works inside. Affordable Component Kits are available from independent suppliers (on Amazon), or the book explains how to shop online yourself.

I am also including some of the amazing projects that readers have developed after reading my book.” Difficult concepts such as displacement current and self-inductance are now demonstrated with experiments that reveal the flow of current. An entirely new section has been added, comparing microcontrollers. All the full-color pictorial diagrams illustrating circuits have been redrawn for greater clarity. Now more than ever, Make: Electronics provides the easiest and most comprehensive introduction to electronics.
