AC Basics Capacitors in AC Circuits

[georgeh]

Spot on, watched this video as a refresher exercise to what I learned in the 70's.

Best electricity lecure I've ever seen.

[deanbelk]

Finally a great explanation after years of kinda knowing

[SaintAngerFTW]

Sir. You are the best teacher of electronics on the internet. Thank you!

[randyanders]

Crystal clear board work, awesome...
Brilliant lecture Sir

[JonathanLang-nulx]

you have no idea how much this has helped me, thanks!!!

[mouseman]

I could always parrot the answers, but now I understand the how. Very cool. Thanks

I was lost. I looked for Big Bob. I found him. He found me. There for, I was found. Thank you Big Bob

[fsiserir]

Thank you for giving us an opportunity to understand deeply how the circuit of charge and discharge of a capacity works?.

[randhircheema]

Perfect explanation without bring ODEs into the discussions.I was always struggling a bit with this concept. Thank you heaps!

[PatNolan-kl]

Very good Bob. A lot of detail crammed into this 36 minutes, very well explained.

[Lada_Niva]

Absolutely dream lecture - thank you very much!!

[faustogonzalez]

Absolutely Outstanding !! You are a Great Teacher and the Visual Aids Awesome...keep up the great Work

[austinskilling]

Very helpful. Cleared up the confusion I had from my textbooks!

Arnold Scwartzenager said “ any rep is a hood rep”…
THIS LECTURE IS…DELICIOUS….
In high school I attended “Vocational Training” / electronics in my junior and senior years… ( 1972-1974)… and resistors, capacitors and inductors… and therefore LRC circuits …and therefore “ right triangles”…. Were…the…. Peak of our mountain tops….

I am interested in reviewing the concepts … just because…. ( and I have some old tube and transistor amps)… I can clean pots, switches and tube sockets all day… but eventually we need to remember how to trace volts … know what to expect …and how to do it safely when sometimes there is 400 volts in the circuit.

Again… GREAT…SERIES…of lectures…
( one of my first benchmarks when I saw that I was from a previous generation…. My younger ( by eight years) sister… while holding my slide rule…I asked… “how do you use this?”…. And then my even younger sister ( ten years).. asked.. “ what …IS…this thing?”

Only explanation that didn't leave me more confused

[ecananth]

thank you so much for this wonderful video.

[gwynsea]

Fantastic explainer, thanks very much

[natekwong]

Thank you Bob this is the best explanation on yt!

Hello sir. I love the video but I have a question. If the capacitor in the dc circuit discharges its voltage in the opposite direction to that of the battery's voltage then doesn't that make the capacitor voltage negative too just as the current? I know that the capacitor voltage just exponentially decays until it reaches zero but it still goes in the opposite direction to the battery voltage. I would appreciate it if you could answer my question thanks.
