Introduction to Phasors, Impedance, and AC Circuits

In this video I give a brief introduction into the concept of phasors and inductance, and how these concepts are used in place of waveforms.

Note: At 2:28 I should have said "the more COUNTER-clockwise of the two is the leader".

Aren't the diagrams the wrong way round for lagging and leading voltage?

I came here and was like "Is this 3blue1brown?". Great video! Exactly what I needed to grasp the subject a bit.

[aviral]

please continue this series, your style is amazing

[SuperNewPirate]

You really made me understand my 2-hour course in less than 4 minutes.

[marchstoneytony]

Thank you! So many poor videos online that fail to properly explain this in 20 minutes. Yours did it in 4 minutes.

love to see the shoutout to 3B1B. love that channel. but also great to see someone continuing in his awesome style! and doing it well!

[narutouchiha]

You described these concepts really well, and it was backed by some wonderful animations! Nice job, and shoutout to 3Blue1Brown.

[OriginalOsO]

Just what I was looking for... accurate, precise, short explanation. Excellent job!

[BenLam]

Do more videos which go in depth on phasors please!! Its the first time I actually found a video on electrical this visually appealing :)

[Danielser]

This was the most intuitive video I've seen for under grasping phasor concepts, it was a nice refresher to me.

It's so strange getting to this point in my engineering education (ENGR 202, nothing crazy yet) where before this point, all we knew was DC and capacitors and inductors were basically just abstract elements that we learned the mathematical properties of. But now in AC you can see what they do to a circuit! so exciting

[johnishikawa]

This is a superb video. I have not looked at material like this for many years - decades actually - and this little discourse brings it all back in a quantitative way.

[lucasmeira]

amazing. subscribed. I'm an electrical engineering student. Love the 3b1b tool! Keep on doing this great work

[kameelamareen]

3Blue1Brown, is that you ? EDIT: Just completed the video, amazing work !!

[nicfishman]

This was really interesting. I'm a physics student, so this take on circuitry was completely new to me. It's very cool, looking forward to more videos.
One criticism: leave stuff on the screen longer. Just another .5-1seconds makes a lot of difference and allows a viewer to digest the content.

[cimachu]

AWESOME! You totally nailed both 3Blue1Brown's style, and his ability to explain a topic in a very easy to understand way. I've been watching lecture recordings on repeat for hours and they don't hold a candle to this 4 minute video.

[ALLENGAO-qpsw]

Explanation: 10. Music: 10. Overall Learning Experience: 10. Love the content, thanks for the immersive experience Charles ✌🏻

[diasmashikov]

I am begging you man to make more videos on this topic. I really like this work, and I hope you will continue because you help so much. Please

[Ndakala.Chaka]

This was really really helpful😭😭thank you, and super interesting too, was looking for more videos on AC on your channel, but didn’t find any, wish you had more, you’re really good at explaining 😊thanks for this video super helpful you have no idea

[macmos]

Please make more videos like this! I can definitely see you gain a following and supporters. Thanks for the video concise and informative, loved it.
