The document discusses an electronics self-teaching guide that presents material in a numbered problem format. It recommends reading the chapters in order and working through each problem by answering questions and trying experiments before checking the answers, in order to learn effectively. Reviewing previous sections or material is advised if many questions are missed in a row. Doing all the experiments is also encouraged to reinforce learning, even if just reading about them.

depends on concepts and skills covered in earlier chapters.
All New Electronics Self-Teaching Guide, Third Edition, is presented in a self-teaching format that allows you to learn easily and at your own pace. The material is presented in numbered sections called problems. Each problem presents some new information and gives you a question to answer, or an experiment to try. To learn most effectively, you should cover up the answers with a sheet of paper and try to answer each question on your own. Then, compare your answer with the correct answer that follows. If you miss a question, correct your answer and then go on. If you miss many in a row, go back and review the previous section, or you may miss the point of the material that follows. Be sure to try to do all of the experiments. They are very easy and help reinforce your learning of the subjectmatter. If you dont have the equipment to do an experiment, simply reading through itwill help you to better understand the concepts it demonstratesdown to about 5 torr. These methods are based on the relation of heat conduction and radiation from a heating element to the number of gas molecules per unit volume in the low-pressure region, which determines the pressure. Ionization gauges can be used to measure pressures down to about 2 torr. The gas is ionized with a beam of electrons and the current is measured between two electrodes in the gas. The current is proportional to the number of ions per unit volume, which is also proportional to the gas pressure.
