This guy explains electricity much better than my undergraduate physics lecturer. Thanks bro.

This video and the one on amps were awesome! Very well explained. It's rare to find such clear explanations on YouTube. Thanks for making these!

[PapaGleb]

Keep the basic stuff coming. Your teaching methods really make it easy to learn.

As I've gotten older (36 to be exact) I’ve become far more interested on understanding the everyday world around me that we so often overlook and take for granted. I have recently had an increased fascination with electricity and I am wildly hooked on your videos. Thank you for publishing quality content with great explanations!!

I am so glad there are people like you teaching us for free just for the sake of it. And you are far better in explaining things than most of my teachers back at school time.Really, really appreciate your work!

Thanks to some excellent feedback from fans, I edited out the potentially misleading information about EMF and reuploaded the video.

I’ve been an Electronic Tech for almost 40 years. This is by far one of the best explanations on Voltage. The only problem is that every video I’ve seen explains Joules per Coulomb but never shows how to actually create a joule per Coulomb just like the first instruments did. I’m sure Volta didn’t jump up and say “Voila, here is one Joule per Coulomb!” (In Italian of course)

Your tutorials are hands down _the_ best I've found on YouTube. They are clear, well designed, conveniently arranged into appropriate playlists, and explain the topics so that they sink right in. I tip my hat to you, sir.

[manojkumardahiya]

simplest explanation of complex things ever. this video cleared my confusions of 6 years about what actually voltage is.
From deepest part of my heart, Thank you master

[ShadowScotsman]

My deepest thanks to you. i have watched countless videos on youtube, spent hours on google and bugged my father for an explanation (who is an electrical engineer) and you are the first person who has managed to explain the purpose/difference of amps and volts in a concise way that is easy to understand, specificly that part around6-7 mins in with the motor was what got it to click with me, volts is a measure of electrical force, and amps is the speed at which that electrical force is moving at, it makes so much sense now, truely i cant thank you enough xD its really been bugging me that i havent been able to understand that until now. i knew subbing to you was a good idea :)

You’re the absolute best! Helping electronic engineers who are novice, become experts by guiding us to more information through the basics and more! You’re helping us get jobs as well as helping us to become more capable of learning new skills

Thanks Afroman. Somehow I got through an electrical engineering degree and worked in the industry for 40 years and never really understood this until studying your video.

[mrlittlefinger]

Clarity of accent, vividly expressed concepts, explicitly defined terms and easily understandable diagrams and animations. What else a physics student wants!!!! Wonderful dude👌. You're awesome in explaining stuff on physics.

[jamesgrimwood]

I understood all this video, apart from the bit where you make cups of tea using a microwave.

My British mind finds that a strange thing to do ;-)

[engadi]

You are the only one in like 30 videos who really made me understand this really well. Good job and thank you!

[Enrique_Osorio]

I'm so glad you are making videos again. I have learned a lot from your videos. I am currently studying electrical engineering and the concepts you put forth help me a great deal.

[neomayad]

This just blew away 2 weeks worth of explanation videos. Great job. Subscribe earned.

[ochiorbus]

You are mind blowing me all the way !

You present information in a very logical and easy way to understand using analogies where needed, animations, examples also being funny until the end... Just imagine if our teachers used these techniques to teach

This vid was amazing. Not overly simple, not too hung up on concepts, actual example presentation, explanations of the effects. That was AWESOME, thanks for the excellent work!

[hankus]

As always, clear and concise.  Well done.
