I'm Just a Beginner in Electronics; I need Some Help Here!!!

[Lupus2003]

I'm still stuck with 1.5v batteries and little 9.0v motors and teeny
light bulbs. All I know how to use is wires, low-voltage batteries,
small motors and bulbs, and resistors. I don't even no how a capacitor
is! I was searching for a forum where some one could explain this
stuff to me.

It's actually not a terribly bad idea to get one of those
Gazillion'n'One project kits from Radio Shack or similar. Gives you a
place to start and some directed lessons.

You'll need a multimeter but you can find OK ones for $20 and pretty
decent ones for $100. I don't know if they still have it but
www.web-tronics.com recently had a deal where any purchase over $50 they
would throw in a free multimeter. I've got a couple; they're OK.

Its a bit more than can be generally explained in a forum.
Answering specific questions is one thing, teaching AC/DC
theory is another.

Radio Shack sells a number of books, including beginners.

The truth as I perceive it to be.
Your perception may be different.

Yup. Hands-on is a real teacher.
I started with an even simpler basic electricity kit
which, among other things, had a compass and a coil of wire in it
to use as a galvanometer (simpler than a DVM).
This was when RS was still a mom-and-pop operation
and Lafayette & Olsen were common names.
