Course: An Introduction to Electronic Engineering

Every second, millions of tons of charged particles like electrons and protons shoot out from the surface the sun at speeds of the order of a million miles an hour. …

Before we consider the work undertaken by the SERENE group at the University of Birmingham, we’ll look at a much larger-scale spacecraft, China’s Tiangong 2 Space Laboratory. Tiangong 2 Tiangong …

Electronic Engineering in space We’ll look at a satellite as a closed volume in space – an electrical system. The diagram below shows some of the inputs and outputs. (Click …

We’ll split this article into two sections – Sensors and Actuators. All the while that we’re talking about sensors, let’s not forget that since transduction is all about generating one …

Now that we understand basic electronic components, let’s scale up our thinking and consider an entire sound reinforcement system at a concert and think about all the systems processes taking …

Now that Tim has explained the design of the circuit, watch how the electrical pick-up circuit can be built with easily purchased electrical components. This demonstration is not intended for …

In this article we’re going to take a closer look at the processes taking place inside an electrical system. For this example, we’re going to consider a sound reinforcement system. …
