How Resistor Work - Unravel the Mysteries of How Resistors Work!

In this video, we're going to learn about how resistors work! We'll explore the different types of resistors, how resistors work in circuits, and how to calculate resistance.
PCB WAY offer expectational value on circuit boards, 3D printing, injection moulding, CNC and sheet metal fabrication. DO CHECK THEM OUT!

Been using resistors for 13 years in my projects but you just taught me so much more. I hope you turn this into a series and do this with all electrical components

[vjm]

You responded 2 years to a question I had about the "physical" relationship of power, current, and resistance, in the form of this video. You even directly linked my question.
Good sir, thank you.
Life update: I now work in the superconducting field, so even though this knowledge is invaluable, I effectively try to achieve the OPPOSITE of this concept lol. Thanks.

[Robert_Byland]

My electronics tech degree was 20 years ago. This was a FABULOUS refresher course! Well done! 👏👏👏

I couldn’t resist clicking on this video

For all the years I've been dealing with resistors, I never know about the spiral cut. Thanks for sharing. Great channel!

Back in the late 1970's, I put in a whole semester learning about resistors, and learned about 90 percent of that semester in this video! Plus the resistors back then were the carbon variety, unless you worked with industrial (1 percent) resistors. They were blue colored with black value numbers on them.

[mikenelson]

I was hesitant in watching this thinking I knew everything already. I quickly found out that I had so much more to learn, and I even went back and watched portions over and over again. What can I say? I just couldn’t resist! Instant subscriber...

[markkram]

Breaking everything down in bullet points and clear cut explanations is why these are fantastic educational videos, my man. I know absolutely nothing about engineering, always had a interest, and this indeed helped a lot. Keep it up brother

[FreihEitner]

This is amazing! I have long understood the very basics of why to use resistors but not the details, not _how_ they work or how to read their markings. Incredibly useful information for a newcomer to electronics, thank you.

My Borg step parents always taught me that ‘resistance was futile’

[pauladeleke]

I learned and worked with resistors and circuits about 22 years ago and it was never clearer. thank you for the comprehensive and clear illustrations.

[bertlzansinger]

This series is what I looked for desperately. Everything included to educate properly from noob to base knowledge. Cheers!

[MarioGoatse]

This video was perfect for me (a complete layman) to get a good understanding of exactly what they do. They can be extremely simple, somewhat complex and smart, but absolutely necessary in so many cases. Side note; What a beautiful world we live in. The deeper you look at something, the more you want to find. But the more you do find, the more interesting and exciting (and often complex) it gets! There’s so many pools of knowledge and information in everything around us if you have a look. One day I’m extremely interested in a video about the engineering and evolution of a soda can, and the next it’s a resistor.

[TheDigitalAura]

By far the most comprehensive video I have seen on resistors. Good Job!

[paparoysworkshop]

I've explained how resisters work to people many times in my life, but never as well as you have here in this video. Fantastic job.

[dubaifatimaali]

You have no idea how much I learned from this video.
The quality of this video is truly on the other level.

[kakolusi]

As a civil engineering student it was so great to learn how an engineer from another field make things work ; )
Kudos to you engineers!!!

Hello Sir, What a teaching Talent you have, i went through the 200+ videos in 3 weeks, so much value, iam so grateful to you, and appreciate you effort.
Wanted to ask if you could make more videos on Data Centers main components like Power distributions Units(PDUs), and unrepeatables power supply (UPSs).
Hero, more people like you should be on this world.
