'''Simple electronics''' aims to be a succinct and easily understood introduction to practical entry-level electronics, as well as being a useful reference. The best way to learn about electronics is by doing practical experiments.
 
Line 6:
Although each is self contained, the top level articles listed here are written to be read sequentially, each topic leading to better understanding of ones that follow.
