Overview

This course introduces the principles of electronics and covers various topics such as the electronic structure of atoms, pure and doped semiconductors, diodes, and transistors, and their properties. It introduces the student to the factors affecting electronic circuits, their properties, and ways to develop them, as well as the basics of designing and developing signal amplification circuits, and the electrical and optical properties of electronic materials.

Intended learning outcomes

By the end of studying this course, the student will be able to:1- Explain the electronic structure of the atom according to Pauli theory.2- Compare the types of semiconductors and methods of doping them with impurities.3- Explain the idea of diode work.4- Distinguish between a positive crystal and a negative crystal.5- Distinguish between a bipolar transistor and a field effect transistor.6- Analyze Bipolar P-N-P and Field Effect Transistor circuits.7- Design a signal amplification circuit.8- Solve problems and exercises related to the course.
