This is a very good introduction and just at the right level - I particularly like your diagrams.

The only thing I would change (and it's fairly minor) is the paragraph on electron flow vs conventional current. Conventional current wasn't chosen because it is analytically easier or so it wouldn't cause confusion. It was chosen before the electron was discovered and it never occurred to anyone that it was the negative charge that moved in a circuit.

Its all relative at the end of the day, [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-4f056a42-06a1-4779-9619-c3587aa7b221/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

What's the problem with needing a large energy to move an electron? Electric forces are huge.

Hi Cosmin

Thank you for the good information and the very academic presentation. I look forward to the remaining tutorials that you mentioned. Your section on the oscilloscope was of particular interest to me. I very much appreciate the electronics review and continuing education.

John

Good post Cosmin, but you should have read my book first.[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-4f056a42-06a1-4779-9619-c3587aa7b221/contentimage_5F00_4751.png:16:16]

I have shown that instead of electrons flowing from atom to atom, you are actually moving photon/ETONs from electron cloud to electron cloud.

The energy or voltage potential to move an entire electron is very large.[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-4f056a42-06a1-4779-9619-c3587aa7b221/contentimage_5F00_4722.png:16:16]

The energy needed to cause photon/ETON movements between atoms is very small.

It is this photon/ETON flow that causes the conductor impurities in the resistors to emit IR photons when they absorb charge carrying photon/ETONs from the adjacent electron clouds.

Other than the scale of charge carriers, everything else is the same.

You just stopped too soon. You need to be and pico and smaller level to see the real charge carriers.[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-4f056a42-06a1-4779-9619-c3587aa7b221/contentimage_5F00_3.png:16:16]
