Don't they cover even an itty-bitty amount of electronics in high school
physics-or maybe the advanced physics track?

One does not learn the relationships of a circuit in high school
physics level cursory coverage of electron theory. Doh!


Perhaps *you* didn't. DimBulb, don't presume everyone else had
your paltry education.

No, dipshit... sorry, but a high school physics course doesn't cover
enough electronics to make any fuckhead ready for a course in EE, or
EET. It is a cursory overview, at best.

You're already demonstrating serious learning disability with your

He sounds pretty sensible to me, and good-natured besides; not a bad

thanks John, Really guys no one is here to trample on any one else or maybe
if you are then I am in the wrong newsgroup. I actually came here to learn
from professionals, not play chat games with children. For those of you,
that have attained a great wealth of electronic information, please the me
the honor and remember how you got there! If you were born in this world
already knowing, then why are you in the sci.electronics.basics newsgroup, I
dont mean to be rude, but please act as professionals and show everyone some
respect! I for one am here to learn and endeavor upon the attributes of
pioneering electronic professionals. Thank you for all your expertise

Personally, I'd have used a club on the bastards.

I remember writing to this group that one of the few reasons to top post
was
to say that you consider the whole thread to be a pile of old monkey dung.

Here we go again, the children are squabbling and calling each other
names.

You people are supposed to be engineers or aspirant engineers and this
group
is supposed to help those new to electronics to learn from those who have
knowledge of the subject. Reading through this thread, where I can
without
becoming nauseated by the petty bickering, I am amazed at the wasted
effort
that you're all willing to spend on a subject which has nothing to do with
the purposes of the group. Your behaviour of some of you would get you
fired from any serious engineering company.

You are perfectly well aware of who you are and what you are doing. It's
probably not going to change your behaviour, but let it be known that your
behaviour is an insult to electronics and engineering in general.

To put it into words that even the children among you will understand the
answer to "The proper way to post to a group" is "Politely". Apart from
that, does anyone really care?

snip...snip...snip...

John -

I'm astounded that so many otherwise intelligent people would let
themselves get sucked into the trap of responding to Dark Matter the
Insignificant. I fell for his b.s. once but hopefully, never again...but
then again, I try never to say never! ;-)

Shaun,

there are just a few crabby types here who seem to be perpetually
angry at the world. Just ignore them; they must have their own reasons
for being bitter.

But seriously, it's hard to get the basics of electronics off the web,
and impossible from a newsgroup. Read some physics (the
electromagnetics part, just the basics) and an introductory "circuits
and systems" EE text, then *work some problems* and build a few
*simple* DC circuits, with emphasis on understanding the voltage and
current flows, both instinctively and numerically. Ask questions here
if you get stuck on a concept.

Win's book, Art of Electronics, is a good read, if you follow the
introductory stuff carefully (he goes pretty fast!)

Where will you be going to school?

John

As John Larkin has said:

...it's hard to get the basics of electronics off the web,
and impossible from a newsgroup.

...build a few *simple* DC circuits,
with emphasis on understanding the voltage and current flows...

Combine these 2 concepts
and seek out a magazine with an interesting project
or a website which has a COMPLETE how-to for building a device.
Gather the components (an important portion of the learning process),
build it, and see if it works.

John's correct again when he says:
[After doing some legwork yourself]

Ask questions here if you get stuck on a concept.

We don't mind helping,
but there are times when it feels like babysitting.

Maybe nobody got it except Alanis. There's a certain irony about a song

Troll that is, skippy whipper, pencil neck geek!

The first thing you know he says he's an engineer..
His folks finally said "move away from here".
So he loaded up his helmet and his new set of knee pads.
And flew to San Diego where he became frustrated..
Rubber helmet, knee pads, ball gag!

And now it's time to say goodbye to Tard Boy and his fits.
This tube steak parasite will have to finally give it up..
He's whinin' bout top postin' cuz' he "does not have a life"...
