In this informative video, we dive deep into the world of electrical circuits to uncover the secrets of resistance, reactance, and impedance. Join us as we unravel these essential concepts and how they impact current flow, voltage behavior, and overall circuit performance.
We start by exploring the relationship between voltage and current, emphasizing the differences between direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). Learn how voltage changes influence current flow, and why AC circuits exhibit unique behaviors.
Discover how electronic components affect current behavior in both DC and AC circuits, with a focus on resistance, inductive reactance, and capacitive reactance. These components play crucial roles in shaping the current's response to voltage changes.
We use relatable water analogies to explain complex concepts, making it easier to grasp the fundamentals of electrical circuits. See how resistance resists the flow, and how inductive reactance and capacitive reactance introduce delays in current response to voltage changes.
Explore how impedance, the total effect of these factors, affects current within a circuit, providing a comprehensive understanding of these essential electrical principles.
Join us on this journey to demystify the world of resistance, reactance, and impedance, and gain valuable insights into the behavior of electrical circuits. Don't miss out—watch now to enhance your knowledge of circuitry!

I’m 60 years old and I have seen hundreds of videos on electronics. This is, undoubtedly, the best explanation I have ever seen. Subbed.

[levoleynik]

As Noah's 4, 234 year old son, I have never seen an example as clear as this! Struggled understanding the concept before, now I can go and build the second tower of Babel without any difficulties. Subscribed!

[WoobyMe]

Im an ancient 493 year old man, and this is by far the great explanation i have ever seen across the centuries I have roamed this earth. Liked, subscribed, and rang the bell.

[bennitoooo]

In my 4 years of studying elecrical engineering, never seen such a excellent example like this

[AFatWhiteShark]

For someone that genuinely never understood electrical engineering as a whole -honestly not even 1% of it- ...Thought it was above my capabilities.
Thank you, for sure a new sub!

[vikingwind]

I am 72 years old, hold a 2 year degree in electronics and was a product manager for 28 years for RF and DC calibration products sold directly to NIST. I wish your videos were around when I was a young student. Learning would have been much easier. Great presentation! Thanks!

[BBS.]

By far the best video on this topic, period. Brilliant explanation, brilliant analogy, brilliant animation. The world needs more people like you. Hats off to you and your team for working this hard!

[joelonderee]

Excellent. All stuff I knew 50+ years ago as an engineering student, but forgot. Great re-education for me.I cannot wait to see more of your videos. The diaphragm and water wheel did the trick to making it understandable.

[paules]

This brought me back to my electronic engineering class! We were taught using the same analogy way back in 1980!

[Sanjay-ebfe]

If a picture can speak a thousand words, a video speaks a trillion. And this video in particular proves that these statements are true. Thanks 👍

Nice explanation. Many moons ago when I was in the Navy electrician school they taught us "ELI the ICE man" to help us remember. Voltage leads current in an inductive circuit = ELI and current leads voltage in a capacitive = ICE. Of all the things I did forget that was one of the things which stuck.

Being an electrical undergrad, I appreciate your analogy of inductor and capacitor. The whole duration of this video never had an breaking point of the understanding.

[theodorecalvin]

45 years later, and I finally grok capacitors (in signal circuits, specifically). You did that. Thank you.

[imaratimemes]

At minute 1:30 so far so good I am starting to get excited

[sudhirpatil]

Man- you made thing's so simple for me to understand!

Given the much complex nature of stuff to grasp - your animations really are worthwhile n efforts r laudable!!! 👍

[gadgetaddicted]

By far the best explanation of this topic I've ever seen, in terms of clarity, simplicity and completeness.

[Robert-zlyi]

I'm a ghost from 1845, never in my 178 years of being dead have i seen a better explanation than this, thank you so much.

[xiaogangdasha]

By far the best video in this topic I have seen in 20 years. Much helpful and appreciate.

[notjesusfr]

am Jesus and this is undoubtedly the best video on whatever concept this is

[freddievargas]

This is probably the most straight forward, concise and precise explanation of the topic. Amazing pedagogical material.
