I just want to thank you for how straight forward and easily helpful this was. SO THANKS

For timing circuits I always chose 3 TC (roughly 95%) as the trip point. With all the variants of battery voltages, resistor and capacitor tolerances seemed to give may designs a little more functional design reliability. Then again my efforts was done with graphpaper and pencils.
I enjoyed your presentation and graphics. Good job.

This reminds of the time a physics teacher marked my answer on a test as wrong... the question was about the time constant. I took into consideration the 5 TC need to reach almost full charge, the teacher was stubborn that you only needed one TC. In the end he had to admit in front of the class I was right but at the price of him giving me attitude the rest of the semester.

Reveal all the nuance information that is generally hidden or not explained.

Appreciate you guys very much. When I got money to.spare I will be making a handsome donation.

[jacobmichael]

This is honestly brilliant, well done 👏

[mahesh]

Thanq for providing the video at correct time

[Dj_JohnMac]

It's explained good in this video, keeps it in a nice easy to digest format

[selfmade]

Thanks. Keep simplifying engineering for us!

[marcfruchtman]

Thank you very much for this video!!! Great stuff. Would love to see a similar video for Inductors with a resistance in series as well!

[electronicssciencebysherry]

You are really God's given and blessed one thank you so much.

[flyball]

Good, accessible description - but you might want to edit the last graphic since you appear to still have the battery connected when you discharge the capacitor which is not going to turn out well (except the odd arsonist maybe) :)

Nice explanation of how caps work. Always was curious how they break down and deteriorate in performance from new to aged. When do you pull the plug and replace one? Does it become noticeable if one is being used as a filter in a speaker crossover?. What would be the symptoms in hearing, as opposed to just measuring with a meter? Love all your vids.🤷‍♂️

[RandomlySelectedUserName]

Thanks for free and amazing easily explained videos ❤️ appreciate it.

[guitarizta]

thnx 4 this explanation again about caps bro..always curious if what exact amount of capacitors i mean what is exactly formula of capacitance and voltage of a capacitor from the voltage source?

[pavanu]

Hi, we have a Formula for Capacitor Charging and Discharging Time... Kindly include that in the video

Thanks

[tvdylan]

surely the charge and discharge curves are different shapesfor different types of capacitor !!

[kylemasten]

Great video!! Think you can do one on UV lights and how they work?

[thunguyenvan]

Thanks you for this video. My English is not good so could you add the auto translate modes to easy understand for me. Thanks you so much.

[DrZygote]

There's something extremely familiar about this. Is this a remake of an old video?
