Electronics > Beginners

The Art Of Electronics book is awesome!

StillTrying:
All you need to know is that:

Voltage is a relative value across any 2 chosen points, and has a direction.

Current is an absolute value flowing through any single chosen point, and has a direction.

1 Volt across 1 Ohm causes 1 Amp of current to flow through it.

That's all there is, there's nothing else. :)

I forgot: :)

1 Amp flowing into 1 Farad causes the Voltage across the capacitance to rise at 1 Volt per second.

1 Amp flowing into 1 Henry
1 Volt across 1 Henry causes the Current to rise at 1 Ampere per second.

That's all there is, there's nothing else. :)

HobGoblyn:
Well I feel like an idiot

After all my checking, I still ended up with two copies of "The Art of Electronics" Second edition.

I presumed as I ordered two different ISBN numbers, I was getting the first and second edition (should have googled each ISBN number, I knew they weren't the 3rd edition number)

I ordered ISBN 9780521370950  and ISBN 0521370957

What actually happened is the Second edition has both an ISBN 10 number and an ISBN 13 number, I ordered one of each :)  (I didn't even realise there was different ISBN numbers)

So if anyone in the UK wants a free second hand copy, you can have it. 

Edit, I know Lesley said

   I stupidly read that as one ISBN for the first or one for the second :)

HobGoblyn:
I hope I've now ordered the correct first edition (Abebooks has it)

ISBN-13: 9780521231510, ISBN-10: 0521231515

Will find out in 11 days :)

 :palm: sorry, my bad for not being clear enough. I thought you were only after the second edition, not the first! I only got the two numbers off the listings, and quoted them for folk to find the cheaper second editions. I thought your confusion earlier was over the Main book and the study guide. It didn't occur to me that you were looking for a first edition book!  :) I hope you get the right one in a few days.

Things I learned here and to be clear to folk following this.

1) there seems to be TWO ISBN numbering systems, a 13 digit one, and a 10 digit one.
2) The numbers I quoted from the listings, are the two ISBN numbers relating to "The Art Of Electronics, Second Edition"
3) The latest is the Third Edition , but it is considerably more expensive than the 2nd edition. (About 10x in my case)
4) There's a lab manual which is separate, and may be useful. And Also a new X Chapters being released.
5) I'm curious as to what the differences are between the First, Second, And Third editions.

Anyway, apologies @HobGoblyn, for the confusion.
