Electro-Magnetism
(From http://www.ausmicro.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9456)
"I thought this would make a good subject, and it's not so hard to describe it without using formulas. I hope it's not too heavy reading for some of the younger guys. If they are re-winding their own motors and actuators, then it might be of some use to them."

How To:

"Link to a great easy to read guide on How-To Solder"

Resistors (Ohms Law):
(From http://www.ausmicro.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9453)
"One of the basic fundamentals of eletronics is called "Ohms Law". It is just an official name for how eletricity behaves.
As mentioned elsewhere eletricity in wires behaves a lot like water does in pipes."

Capacitors:
(From http://www.ausmicro.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9468)
"Capacitors are another simple device. They store electricity !
Similar to a battery, but their charge and discharge times are much shorter. There is lots of complex maths to describe how they work, but there are some nice simple descriptions too."

Inductors:
(From http://www.ausmicro.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9477)
"As current flows in a wire, it creates a magnetic field around that wire. If we wrap the wire around on itself, we can concentrate the magnetic field into the center of the coil."

Using LEDs:
(From http://www.ausmicro.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12028)
"I was wondering what the correct wiring up of LEDs is. I've noticed there is usually a resistor in the curcuit, but I usually just wire them straight up, making sure I stick to about 3V."

General Info:
(From http://www.ausmicro.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9539)
"FET's are another one of those mysterious little black things you see on your circuit boards. There are a few varieties, so I'll keep it simple and work up from there."

General Info:
(From http://www.ausmicro.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12088)
"Transistors come in many shapes and forms. So we ll keep it simple and look at only bipolars, and only one way of using a transistor."

General Info:
(From http://www.ausmicro.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9464)
"Diodes are like one way streets for electricty or a valve for water. They let cerrent flow one way and not the other."

"Well I would have thought that somebody might have added another tutorial for something useful or interesting. I hadn't considered doing one for batteries. I was just cruizin through the wired world when this critter caught my eye."
