That river flow analogy for the Resistance in Parallel Circuits is so smart! Thank you so much for your help!

I'm 29 and taking a GCSE equivalency exam in combined science (I didn't go to school in the UK) to do my teacher training and this is literally THE BEST SOURCE OF SCIENCE LESSONS on Youtube. I appreciate your work with all of my heart. Great job!

Your videos are INCREDIBLE! Thank you so much for making them.
I'm in an HVAC program in Arizona (I don't even know what GCSE is!), and these have been the best videos I've found online to explain many electric, heat, and energy concepts. I wish my whole curriculum was here! The color coding, the thought behind each video, the organization -- your hard work is apparent, and its result is easier transfer of knowledge. Wow. I'm telling my classmates to use your videos!

Cognito is talented man explained everything i probs need to know in gcse about parallel and series circuits in 3 mins bro imagine if i watched him for an hour everyday i would be Einstein

[THREAL]

I understand this dude more than my teacher💀

[funfactsfunworld]

This channel deserves at least 5 million subscribers

[nstar]

Thank You I finally understand what the resistance is for parallel circuits. :D

[ArturMINIMAL]

Thanks. I am learning welding remotely. Very big help towards the exams. You know how to explain things so I could understand and your voice is very relaxing which helps too.

[iivyu]

im revising for a science test the day before it, and this channel certainly explains a lot of things in ways that i can understand well instead of just accepting what it is is what it is, so thanks!

[washamhaider]

Super underrated and just too good to be real! Sir you just saved me at the last minute preparation of National Finals! Thanks alot😊

[znrdn]

Thanks for providing the examples and analogies, they helped me understand the concept much better.

[zaaiiola]

you make everything so easy to understand i love your videos so much especially the examples for complex ideas you’re the best channel ever!!

[someone...]

the resistance bit for parallel circuits is proper good, especially the river analogy. As soon as you mention the added loop and that water flows more easily, it instantly just clicks in the brain. Just what i needed. Keep it up my guy:)

[bigchungus]

Last day before my GCSE physics, whish me luck

[Phkyo]

Bro I’m watching these vids on electricity at 1.5x speed cause I have an exam and I can’t remember 😭it’s in 30 mins this vids are helping sm

[damooooo]

You are just the best. I can’t understand the open uni but I can understand a man on YouTube. ❤

[evanmainali]

he deserves more love and subs he's too good

[mosee]

Your amazing and SO underrated, you are the source of my good grades! Thank you, I hope you feel appreciated!

[laishaahmed]

my exam is in an hour so im binging all your videos *cries* they actually saved my life fr *cries some more*
