# Electronics, from your first LED to a computer you built from gates

Current and voltage you can see, then transistors, op-amps, filters, power and PCBs. Every circuit runs in a real circuit simulator in your browser.

The track

## Zero to expert, one course at a time

This is the electronics underneath everything else on Mokxi: what current, voltage, resistance and time really do in a circuit. You build each circuit on a simulated breadboard, measure it with a meter or a scope, and the simulator checks the result.

It starts from nothing, with a loop you wire by hand, and climbs through the circuits engineers use every day: dividers, RC timing, transistors, op-amps, rectifiers and regulators, filters and frequency response, then logic from a single NAND gate up to a working CPU, and finally a board ready for manufacturing.

Questions

## About the electrical track

Can I learn electronics online for free?

Yes. Every course in this track is free and runs in your browser, with a circuit simulator that measures voltages and currents the way a real meter and scope would.

Do I need math to learn electronics?

Only arithmetic to start. Ohm's law is one multiplication, and the lessons show the numbers on a meter as you go. The later courses use a little algebra for gain and filters, explained when it comes up.

Is this the same as an electrical engineering degree?

No, but it covers the circuits a first and second year of one does, hands-on, so it is good preparation for a degree, a technician job or your own projects.

Do I need parts or a kit?

No. Every circuit is built on a simulated breadboard. When you want to build one for real, the same parts and wiring work on a bench.
