Abstract
OF the many text-books introducing the subject of electronics, the one in hand, written by three chemists, approaches the matter entirely from the experimental angle. The extensive demand for this text indicates the success of this point of view ; no student can, however, afford to neglect the more rigorous theoretical treatments in this field. In brief, the student is taken through many experiments on simple valves, photo-electric cells, and various multi-grid and gaseous tubes. Practical applications include D.O. and A.C. voltmeters, photo-tubes, and various types of amplifier and oscillator. Many references are given at the end of each chapter, together with relevant problems, the more interesting of which include applications to practical problems not discussed in the text.
