Actually I start a course in September, but I had a "taster" session, got really interested, and am trying to get a head start ;) Books seem to be the answer for most problems, eh? :D ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eoin Ross" To: Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 9:53 PM Subject: Re: [EE] Will the questions never end?! ;) (small attachment) I don't want to be a stick in the mud ... but it sounds like you would be well served taking night classes at a local community college in basic electronics (or even try buying one of the secondhand textbooks for the courses) A textbook I have that covers those theories and AC is called "Electric Circuits" Author is "Bogart" Published by "Glencoe Publishing Co" Not too cheap but you might score a used one. http://tartanstore.sinclair.edu has it for $85 used >>> misterfugit@HOTMAIL.COM 07/11/02 04:00PM >>> Huh, that changes things a bit. How would I then obtain a lower voltage relative to ground? Also, my book doesn't cover thevin, nortons theorems or node voltages! Just basic components, resisitors in parallel/series, capacitors... Could you suggest a book? My second post regarding operating higher-voltage loads is still begging for an answer too ;) Thanks -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
