Re: Where to Learn Electrical Online

A book like this

http://www.amazon.com/Robot-Building.../dp/1893115445

also can help as it has practical explanations of the electronic components that you add to the simple robot as you build it. For example, lots of time is spent explaning resistors, and playing with them with a voltmeter, and learning how Ohm's law works with real life examples

The how stuff works page looks like a big help!
