is there something you cannot do sir? You always amaze me. I am very thankful of your hard work. I wish you all the happiness!

0:38 Calculate Current
1:16 I = I1 + I2
1:48 V = I x R

3:22 3 Parallel Resistors

5:50 2 Parallel Resistors.

My physics final exam is tomorrow and you came at the right time! i wish you a good day and happiness.

On problem 6A and R1 5 ohms and R2 10 ohms, I calculated the equivalent resistance by product over sum as 3.3 ohms. From this calculation 20V is the approximate voltage. The voltage is the same in a parallel circuit as shown. Did the math for the amps.
at each resistor and agrees with your math. I omitted all math operations for simplicity for the comment. Thanks for your excellent valuable videos.

i just started getting into batteries and what it takes to run stuff with it, and your videos have been the MOST helpful of all. Hope Solar power will be in this series and how they run. Thank you sir.

😲 you finally made me understand it, I've been through this concept 20 different times this year, thank you for explaining it out very clearly.🎉🎉

[sazokuotsutsuki]

I'm skipping physics classes, you explain things way way better. Thanks a lot. Love <3

[gabrielnunezcruz]

Thank God for this person. If it weren't for him I wouldn't be able to do my physics work

[shallen]

Finally! I have been scouring the internet for an easy explanation to findig the partial currents of resistors!

It sounds like justin timberlake just taught me how to measure circuits.

[MacdarlynKemo]

You are very helpful Sir your explanation ate very clear thank you so much 🎉

The fact this man only has 7.9 Million subscribers is diabolical he deserves more

[jonathanflores]

Thanks man this help me with my homework and School thank you

[mattralph]

thanks, coudnt figure it out for ages, watched the video, instantly understood, thanks

Sir! You always amaze me. I wish you all the happiness!

On the first example, I simply combined the two resistances into one using 1/R_tot = 1/R_1 + 1/R_2 -> R_tot = 12/5 Ω then just used V=IR -> I = V/R = 12 / (12/5) = 5 A. I think it's a lot easier to just simply the circuit and then determine the current rather than using Ohm's law 3+ times on each path.

Hey sir, please when you get back to chemistry do a comparison between the basicity of complicates heterocyclic compounds

[tylermorris]

No stupid intro no ads no asking for likes I respect it

[albertoramos]

I got an A on my exam by just watching this video. Thank you!

[abouella]

Omg bro thank you much. I was worried about my quiz
