The Internet provides you with all the graphics and text about electronics that one can imagine. My site and e-books are special, because they provide not only free books, but the books include FREE virtual circuits to observe and troubleshoot. You get virtual circuits with out the expense of Brick and Mortar bread boards. Industry does not need technicians that have simply read about electronics circuits, that is why electronics schools have laboratories in addition to classrooms. I provide laboratory manuals combined with virtual circuits for you to troubleshoot. That makes this site and its free downloads different, if not unique. Please bookmark my site and download some or all of my free e-books and simulations. If all that you are looking for is information or tutorials about electronics, Click Here!
I (Bill of Science-ebooks.com) have a BS degree in physics and over 30 years experience in electronic system troubleshooting and a few years experience as a writer of technical documents. I also program in assembly, JavaScript, and Basic (VB and Power). I have never even attempted to write a text book for publication in a bookstore. That is a task for PhD's and better writers than myself. I write eBooks and e-manuals that teach the skills necessary for one to become an effective troubleshooter. My courseware publications are unique because they not only teach fault isolation theory, but include free virtual circuits for students to practice on. I teach troubleshooting techniques that will enable students to troubleshoot circuits of the future and older circuits still in use today. In 2011, I will focus on the development of truly interactive simulations. They will consist of data generated by virtual logic analyzers, computer displays, or computer memory dumps. Modern systems present data in this format for engineers and technicians in order to assist them in fault isolation. Note, that the kit metaphor does not change, except for the substitution of truly interactive simulations for the animations that I used in the 2009/2010 kits.
There is an abundance of free Internet tutorials about electronic theory. The reason that all students and teachers should bookmark my site is that: it is one of the few, if not the only site that teaches and tests the readers ability to fault isolate electronic circuit or system malfunctions to the component level. If you like the analog troubleshooting in this online eBook, I recommend that you download Kits in right column.
In 2010: science-ebooks.com published many free virtual electronics laboratories complete with virtual circuits and laboratory manuals. Laboratory kits and my e-books are now available for free download as Zip folders that contain virtual circuit animations and PDF format manuals. See laboratory kits at right. Not only do the laboratory kits at right contain an e-book (PDF) manual, you will note that I have produced several free e-books aimed at teaching electronics troubleshooting. Of course you don't have to download anything to practice interactive troubleshooting, you are free to use this online "eBook"

Science-ebooks.com is a desktop publisher of
free eBooks and simulation software for electronic technicians and high school
physics students. We simulate sets of working and faulty circuit
animations. The faulty circuits provide students with a truly interactive
troubleshooting experience. In 2009, we will focus on producing free
virtual electronic kits with a lab manuals. The kits are in the
format of a folder containing GIF or MPEG circuit animations and a
Laboratory manual (PDF) eBook. The advantage of downloading our animations
is that today's modern media players such as QuickTime play GIFS and MPEGS
better than browsers in that they permit students to freeze frames. Teachers can download kits and use
them indefinitely offline as part of their curriculum. These FREE
kits are perfect for students using self
teaching books about electronics. Our JavaScript
circuit and physics simulations will remain on our Web sites.

Attention High school Students:
The most difficult aspects of becoming a system or electronics technician are taught in High school. Take all the algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and physics courses available in High school and you can be taught electronics in a half year. I attended army schools that did just that. Once you mastered these subjects you could learn electronic troubleshooting from reading books or Web material. My site provides you with free simulations to test and develop your troubleshooting skills.
Teachers:
Inserting faults in circuits to provide students with troubleshooting experience is a time consuming and difficult task. It is difficult to insert faults into circuits that will not easily be found by inspection. Furthermore, it is usually easy for a student to troubleshoot a circuit that he or she designed and/or assembled. My circuit animations provide virtual troubleshooting experience for students. I would like to hear from teachers who use my site. Positive or negative feedback will be appreciated. Use email address at bottom of page. Free Courseware: Click Here!:

In 2009 science-ebooks.com
focused on the distribution of free kits containing animations and
simulations of electronic circuits. Today
students have a wide variety of choices of free books about electronics. They
can get paper books from the public library or choose from a broad list of
online tutorials. My animated eBooks about physics or electronics have been well
received, but have had to share the Internet market place with many other
electronics internet sites. My research has shown that there is an ample supply
of tutorials about electronics on the internet. Therefore, I have decided to
switch from creating virtual animated books to producing free virtual circuits
and laboratory kits. In many cases my virtual circuits are better than brick
and mortar electronics laboratory experiments. Building real circuits on
bread boards is a good exercise, but soon becomes a repetitive waste of time.
The purpose of my Kits is to provide a virtual interactive electronics
laboratory experience for technical students. Students studying electronics from
a book should find this extremely useful. My virtual electronics animations and
simulations clearly demonstrate the principles of circuit operation. Virtual
troubleshooting is the best feature of my software. I insert faults into many of
my virtual circuits, so that student can practice their troubleshooting skills.
This allows students teaching themselves electronics to practice troubleshooting
without the benefit of expensive test equipment. Schools can use my kits
consisting of virtual circuits and save the cost of stocking electronic
components. When I taught electronics at a technical school, I spent lots of
time checking and replacing the parts missing from lab kits. Students wasted
time bread boarding circuits that were really already designed in their
textbook. Teachers spent lots of time inserting shorts or opens in circuit that
the students had bread boarded. My animations are free and the faults
that I insert cannot be found by visual inspection. The advantages of virtual
troubleshooting are:
1.0 Low cost of virtual
circuits.
2.0 Student cannot find the
fault by inspection.
3.0 No time consuming fault
insertion required.
4.0 Supplements Teach
Yourself Electronics Books with a virtual laboratory.
5.0 The Hands off fault isolation techniques that I teach are becoming ever more prevalent.
6.0 Standalone curriculum.
Teachers can download kits and use simulation off line. Forever* * Animations
can be used indefinitely even if my site shuts down.
The disadvantages
of my virtual troubleshooting exercises are:
1.0 They do not teach SAFETY.
Virtual circuits cannot shock and do not contain Hazardous materials.
3.0 Cannot duplicate the full
range of physical phenomena that one encounters in real circuits.
4.0 Technicians do not learn
to solder, wire wrap, and operate test equipment.
In short my animations and
simulations only
support hands off troubleshooting. Much of modern troubleshooting is hands
off and only involves analysis of data displayed on a screen. When I began
troubleshooting in 1964, I used meters and scopes to analyze faults to the
component level. When I retired in 1998, 90% of the time I analyzed electronic
system data that was displayed on CRT in order to fault isolate to the module
level. Troubleshooting to the component level was accomplished on an external
module test fixture. Today cars are troubleshot in the same manner. Cable TV
companies also generate data displays for their service technicians. If I press
the right sequence of buttons on my cable TV remote control, I get displays
showing the decibel level of input signal over a range of frequencies. How
Can Animations be interactive? The slider control of the media player allows
for both forward and backward movement in time. By sequential frame by frame
filming of one of my simulations while turning a knob on this simulation, an
animation is created that appears truly interactive. The slider control that
operates in the time domain appears to be operating in the frequency domain. The
slider control can also mimic the control of a variable resistor or other
adjustable device.
