Capacitance circuits
Another book for Gadget Masters
Like London buses, you wait a long time for one good book and another shows up straight after. Following on from “62 Projects to Make with a Dead Computer by Randy Sarafan”, another book has crossed my desk, Basic Electronics for Scientists and Engineers.
