GCSE Physics - Intro to circuits #14

In this video we cover:
- Some components commonly used in circuit diagrams
- What's meant by the term 'potential difference'
- What's meant by the term 'Current'
- What's meant by the term 'Resistance'
- Which way around a circuit current flows

thankyou some much for such a simple explanation that really made sense. I’m struggling to understand it at school and you really cleared it up for me. My gcse physics are all because of you...

[minjunkim]

You've just taught me more physics in 3 minutes than my teacher has in a whole term

This convention ruined an entire week for me.

I was studying chemistry and the topic was how ores are extracted and purified / refined . I had kept the convention in the back of my head that current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal and I thought that electrons flowed from the anode to the cathode.

I read the whole chapter and made the notes. Then in the end I was all confused because the physics of the ions just didn't make any sense. I researched a lot and then I found this video. I really appreciate your effort. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart ❤️.

Been cramming 5 gcses in 6 months after taking a year's break. Gotta finish everything for the summer exams getting preferably 7s for maths and physics. You might save my life. You make everything sound so simple. I am eternally gratefull.

I just wanted to say thank you for the hard work you put into this video I was literally crying because I couldn’t understand Current electricity but I came across this video and I now understand and I am ready for my test tomorrow so thank you and keep it up

[chillbreeze]

I found this video by accident and it might have just saved my GCSE physics, THANK YOU!

[itsree]

Thank you for these videos! I was unclear about some of the topics before and I think I'm confident now!! :)

[sharkyeditzcc]

This is so helpful the fact that i have a test in 3 hours is still haunting me

[sallyalpachachy]

Thank you sm!! One thing that i was confused on was when you said the shorter line on a cell diagram is negative. I remembered my teacher telling me it was positive and negative was the longer line. Other than that, i think you video is great and it will help me a lot for my stressing exam tomorrow!

[annymus]

Wow! Thank you very much!
This was really helpful! :)

[rerereuj]

I'm a little bit annoyed by the whole "it goes from positive to negative" thing. I don't really understand how after they disproved that theory they still kept it. Imagine if other areas of science did the same thing, like if astrophysicists decided to keep the geocentric model just because it was used in the past

[alimalhi]

at the end for the exam part didnt you mean that you should just remember that currents flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal

[abdullahsheikh]

may God bless you bro, tomorrow is my phy sendup and i have done 60% the rest i will do from your videos.
Thanks man for upload these videos

[chloranzee]

i only slept during my physic class and now i have exam tomorrow and i don't know shit about anything, you literally saved my life

[FruityTruity]

I'm here because I have an exam, anyone else?

[khoi_]

Tysm cognito you’ve saved me so many times in the past year pls make more videos they’re genuinely so helpful

[kindlystyles]

you explained it so well this helped a lot thank you so much

[jediknight]

Who's here cause they got a big test tomorrow and your teacher didn't teach you anything 😂

[鹽顏]

thanks Cognito for all the gcse video ☺️ theyr’re easy to understand and high quality!!!!
