Preface
Chapter 1: Electrons and Electronics
Parting with its atom the electon gains its freedom
Current can flow not only in a meta l but also in a gas, liquid or vacuum
Inside the tube there are also electrodes
The grid made a revilution
Chapter 2: How were waves discovered?
No empty space around charges!
Electrons work collectively
Without motion there is no induction
Chapter 3: Electrons, waves fields
Here oscillations are born
There are different kinds of waves
Capacitor safeguards against accidents
What is the purpose of curvature
Thus the image is formed
Electronic eye sees everything
Magnet can also serve as lenses
Beam cuts metal
Chapter 4: Up the frequency scale
All waves are necessary
A different kind of triode
The electron finds its way into the magnetron
Field is a cold fire
Atoms instead of tuned circuits
In space and on the Earth
Chapter 5: Elements of "wise" machines
The two scales of a balance
Simple gives birth to complex
What memory is made of
Electrons and holes meet
P-N junctions re required
With the aid of semiconductors
Thus miniature size is achieved
Electrons will prolong your life
