content: I just started out learning electronics.. i bought the book name electronic devices conventional current version by floyd. the only thing i have learn right now is about atoms and current in semiconductor. do you guys have any suggestion for what else should i read for beginners in electronics. i'm looking for some sort of physics book that can help me learning in electronics.

content: There's a sticky at the top of the forum for 'primers'.QuoteI don't think I would want to spend more than 5 minutes on the physics of the deal when I can't actually DO anything with that information. I want to get into Ohm's Law, Thevenin's and Norton's Theorems and Kirchhoff's Laws. DC circuits, that's the place to start!I would probably start with "Getting Started In Electronics" by Forrest Mimshttps://www.amazon.com/Forrest-M.-Mims-III/e/B003UGHJVE%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_shareI might spend video time at Khan Academy in the EE programhttps://www.khanacademy.org/science/electrical-engineeringOr maybe at the Digilent "Real Analog" programhttps://digilent.com/reference/learn/courses/real-analog/startYou eventually need to understand the physics of semiconductors but it comes later. A lot of electronics can be done without this level of detail. A certain amount of physics is traditional.Everybody else will recommend "The Art of Electronics" and "Learning The Art of Electronics" (the lab manual) but I'm thinking they are oriented to a more formal program.Here is a much newer version of the book I used in undergrad back in '69. It's still relevant but it does spend the first chapter on physics. Things get started in Chapter 2 "Current and Voltage"https://www.alibris.com/Introduction-to-Electrical-Circuits-Herbert-Jackson/book/35314301It cost $10.95 in '69 dollars! About 3 hours work!

content: Hi, if you are looking for college level books:For circuit theory => "Engineering Circuit Analysis" by Hayt & KemmerlyFor semiconductor physics and circuits => "Microelectronics" by Jacob Millman(Anyone of the older books from Millman is also very good)
