What is robotics? Well, it is amalgamation of science, engineering, and technology and has changed and revolutionised a countless number of industries such as healthcare, manufacturing and agriculture. For these machines to work, the core is the electronics which run and bring these machines to life. Understanding the basics of electronics is crucial before trying to learn the depths of Robotics. Voltage, Current and Resistance: These are the three most fundamental concepts of electricity which is essential for the working of a machine. Voltage is the difference in electric potential between two points. Voltage is the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes electrons through a conducting loop, which enables them to do work. Voltage is measured in Volts. Current on the other hand is the movement of electric charge through an electric conductor. Current is measure in amps. Resistance is the measure of opposition to the flow of charged(current) in an electric co
