This document provides an overview of the topics to be covered in a basic electronics course at the University of Pennsylvania, including electricity, voltage, current, resistance, Ohm's law, capacitors, inductors, semiconductors, mechanical components, and digital electronics. It defines key electrical concepts such as atoms, conductors, insulators, charge, and batteries. It also explains voltage, current, resistance, and Ohm's law in more detail through diagrams and examples. Capacitors and inductors are introduced along with their units of measurement. Hands-on exercises are outlined to help students apply and measure these fundamental electrical concepts.
