Computer animation is used to make basic electronic components come to life in this very informative training video. The principles of semiconductor materials, transistor operation, transistor construction, transistor types, diodes, and other basic electronic components are illustrated with very interesting experiments and computer animation. This is a "must have" for courses in electronics, electricity, motor controls, technology, air conditioning, auto mechanics, physics, science, etc.
