Getting Started: Your First Circuit
Welcome to Zero to Zener! In this inaugural episode, we dive into the basics of electronics by building your very first simple circuit. We'll cover essential components like resistors, LEDs, and batteries, and explain how electricity flows through a circuit.
Understanding Ohm's Law
Ohm's Law is the foundation of electronics. In this episode, we break down the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in simple terms with practical examples and experiments you can try at home.
Capacitors: Storing Electrical Energy
Dive deep into capacitors - what they are, how they work, and why they're essential in electronic circuits. We'll explore different types of capacitors and their real-world applications.
Diodes: One-Way Streets for Electricity
Learn about diodes, the electronic components that allow current to flow in only one direction. We'll cover different types including LEDs, rectifier diodes, and yes - Zener diodes!
