"I am not good at circuit analysis but I enjoy it! " -
Hah.. finally I found a great man who explains what's really going on the circuits!

I am going through the process to become a pilot in the RAF, in Britain, and these videos create a really nice foundation for understanding electrical comprehension. Thank you

[QuanBabyG]

@9:30 can you explain how there are 2 voltages? and why you subtract them?

[aristomaselli]

Those a probably the best electronic tutorial you can find on this site. Simple, clear and useful. Very good job

[cthuluke]

This was amazingly helpful and i cannot overstate how helpful the analogies and focus on intuitive framing have helped me! Amazing channel!

[nikteckreviewsandtips]

Where has this channel been all my life in school, 😭😭,
Good work, great video, thank you sir..

[NelsonAI-gynx]

At about timestamp 08:00 you have 15v-5/ 20 Ohms = 10V/20 ohms why not 15v+ 5/20 ohms= 20V/20 ohms?

I like your videos, they are easy to understand and I learn a lot with them. Regards form Argentina.

YouTube is amazing. Your channel is also amazing. Where else can a person get a free education? Thank you for these videos.

[joshualopez]

I like your videos, I'll be sharing them to supplement my instruction! I'll be teaching basic electricity and electronics principles. :)

So, the thing I don't think has been covered up to this point that became implied at 3:20 ish is that Amps are the way current is measured. Up until now in these videos, both terms have come up, but I don't believe they've been explained as being the same. If they are not the same, then I have misunderstood something. But Amps are the measured unit of current across a device or circuit? And those Amps are calculated using Ohms (the measurement of resistance), and Volts (the measurement of Voltage)?

Thanks for this, it was helpful revision for me!

[thebosss]

your channel is incredible, it's awesome, very high quality video and very clear audio and very clear explanation

please make a video about igbt (insulated gate bipolar transistor), there are only 4 videos explaining their internal structure and none have your animations that is very nice

[markpereira]

who cares about handwriting,
the thing is I understood something ! and that's a blessing from lord.😁

[tangocharlie]

Very well done, thanks. I’m not a formal student of electricity, but a trying to understand the basics for purposes of putting together a solar array. I think you’d do well to offer a 101 course in solar power. I think the thing that confuses non-professionals such as myself is a lack of feel for “normal” volts, “normal” range of Amps, etc. I bet you could deliver.

[FECentbytes]

Wish you were my college professor, 10 hrs of my college sir is shit, while just ur 1 min of the video is much interesting and understandable .

[hikaroto]

no matter how strong my source (imagine a huge capacitor) is, if i have that voltage and that resistance, i will get the calculated amps?

[ryanharriss]

All videos are so well presented and explained. I generally use the letter R instead of omega, not that I have anything against the symbol, just easier 🙂♎️

[hassanzahin]

I have a question. Does that means bigger the load (resistance) will give more battery life?

[calebmanuel]

even my College Proffesor won't teach like this
