This course provides an introduction to electronic circuits commonly used in experimental physics. It aims at providing hands-on experience on what electronic components and circuits can do. You will be building electronic systems from scratch, then debugging them and demonstrating that you understand how they work. Topics include: circuit analysis, diode circuits, rectifying circuits, transistors, operational amplifiers, and logic circuits. Each topic begins with an overview of the fundamentals, followed by laboratory exercises for practicing the concepts. The course ends with a short project. The course is essential for performing experimental works in senior projects and postgraduate studies. The course assumes no prior experience in electronics. (Not for students who have taken ELEG2202)
