<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Demystifies electricity and teaches how to build electronics projects. Covers how circuits, voltage, and current work. Each part of the book focuses on different fundamental electronics concepts with hands-on projects"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Why do the lights in a house turn on when you flip a switch? How does a remote-controlled car move? And what makes lights on TVs and microwaves blink? The technology around you may seem like magic, but most of it wouldn't run without electricity. <p/><i>Electronics for Kids</i> demystifies electricity with a collection of awesome hands-on projects. In Part 1, you'll learn how current, voltage, and circuits work by making a battery out of a lemon, turning a metal bolt into an electromagnet, and transforming a paper cup and some magnets into a spinning motor. In Part 2, you'll make even more cool stuff as you: <br>-Solder a blinking LED circuit with resistors, capacitors, and relays<br>-Turn a circuit into a touch sensor using your finger as a resistor<br>-Build an alarm clock triggered by the sunrise<br>-Create a musical instrument that makes sci-fi soundsThen, in Part 3, you'll learn about digital electronics--things like logic gates and memory circuits--as you make a secret code checker and an electronic coin flipper. Finally, you'll use everything you've learned to make the LED Reaction Game--test your reaction time as you try to catch a blinking light!With its clear explanations and assortment of hands-on projects, <i>Electronics for Kids</i> will have you building your own circuits in no time.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Øyvind Nydal Dahl</b> built his first circuit at 14 and has been passionate about electronics ever since.
