Calculating Current in a Parallel Circuit.mov

[@Cosmic-it5nb]

also for anyone here studying for a test or exam, best of luck!!

[@Iseeyou0165]

thanks i rlly need that ahah

[@Aye.F]

Sir, I must say.. My teacher was explaining how to calculate current in a parallel circuit this whole day and still, i didn't understand what was going on. But in this 11 min video i learnt what my teacher tried to teach me for four tiring hours. So i Thank You. God bless :)

[@hockeydudeblues4]

ANTUSization you learn more watching an 11 minute videio then going to class for an hour and a bit... AMEN

[@ProjectMario03]

Took the words out of my mouth honestly!

[@ISLAMguidanceful]

a slow and late warranted death to traditional learning, the internet is the reason why we learn and teachers don't get that.

[@drivehardearnhard6574]

The way he's adding amps is not 100% accurate. But close enough to get the job done.

[@saiashamgari5404]

Drive hard Earn Hard explain plz

[@brockolious]

This is a fantastic video for a newbie electrical/electronic student and hobbyist like me, thank you so much, Grant.

[@moeyissa4028]

Thank you soo much man because of u I passed my test ! We need teachers like u thx a lot

[@2012isRonPaul]

ok, we have all calculated the result.... what now ? O___O

[@TheFoneGuy]

thank you very much. just started an electrical class and for some reason i couldnt get pass this until i saw the video. now it all makes sense. thanks again

[@fablon]

This is the clearest explanation I have come across! Much appreciated

[@epluribusunum9236]

Thank god I found you. you made this easy, all my instructor does is confuse the heck out of us

[@misamisatv]

My instructor sucks too!! :;(

[@djelementstx]

No kidding. He confuses the whole class and ends every sentence with “right?”

[@jenkiersmith8861]

I just watched four great videos and learned what has been scaring me for years. You just very simply added another piece to my puzzle. Great video, and thank you very much sir. Now I may have a fighting chance to pass these tests.

[@grantcox1057]

Thanks Auburnhill! I hope you do well.

[@pabloandresgallegos2179]

Thank you so much not only have you helped me understand parallel circuits but you've also helped me pass my physics final! Thank you again.

[@greghill2368]

ive never seen a better production value on a video. this is great.

[@719robbie81005]

Just started this in class last night, racked my brain. This helped a lot , I know what to do now. Thank you.

[@michaelnunez1006]

Your the man ! I'm an Automotive Student going for an Associates in Automotive Technology, and this really cleared up a lot of confusion with the Parallel Series Circuits

[@MrHandymanServices]

Awesome Video....I spent a LONG time in class trying to make sense of this and your video was very clear easy to understand an put everything in perspective for me. Thanks!

[@harrypotter6432]

I was having trouble today in class with this, but not now! You explain much better than my teacher.

[@zenegg99]

Better than your Arithmancy teacher Septima Vector? I THINK NOT! I still like the video though :P

[@dianedavidson5283]

@@zenegg99 hee hee hee

[@yoshistaplez803]

Ahhhh, please come back Grant, this the clearest I've ever understood a circuit. 😢😢

[@brianmckeown7883]

Thanks for this video! I was having trouble with this in my intro to engineering class and this made it so much more clear and simple to understand.

[@byob1423]

you are an absolute legend, my teachers been teaching me this for 3.5 months and i still didnt get it but i watched this and i can solve any parallel circuit :D thank you so much

[@hydrogeddonn]

I had this today in class and I had series down pat, but then I entirely forgot how to do parallel. Thank you for the helpful and clear instruction, now I can go to sleep!

[@joeljohansen9161]

Wow, finishing my electronics class 15 years ago, I'm starting back at zero and relearning on my own. Thanks for posting this.

[@rebeccasteele3378]

This has helped me to solve a problem that i had previously spent hours working on with complicated equations!! thank you!

[@kkaufman9]

Excellent teacher as well as a harmonica player! Good combination!

[@ApostolicCherub]

I am an electro mechanical tech student in my first semester of school. I am in DC fundamentals class and this video explained what an instructor (who was an actual ENGINEER before teaching) could not articulate in a 4 hour class. YOU sir should be an instructor! Thank you for such a great video!

[@grantacox]

Thanks for your comment!

[@maryrenz2412]

Extremely helpful. Your video explained it much better then my physics professor.

[@donnieleeman8817]

Loved the way you explained it...! Could you do a series/ parallel complex circuit? Thanks

[@hammerhead6537]

Thanks for the easy to understand lesson. I believe most electronics teachers try to impress students rather than just teaching the subject. Maybe an ego thing.

[@leenelson7]

Never thought to use total circuit values for finding resistance. This helped a lot, thanks for less stress on the upcoming test I have!

[@andrewcipriano2890]

ALL PAY HEED TO THE GREAT GRANT. I have an exam tomorrow. Thanks for the upload.

[@BritRockable]

Studying for a exam ; and this cleared everything up for me man appreciate it!

[@Cosmic-it5nb]

these 10 min youtube videos are better than an hour class, and they are from 7 years ago!!

[@risquecat]

Hello! I'm taking certified electronic technician class and I am having the hardest time with "SOLVING COMBINATION CIRCUITS" especially with, example, R1 is 1.2k ohm, R2 is 2.4k ohms, R3 is 1.6k ohms.. and so on, have to add R1 and R2 together to get combine Ohms. Then I have to get the total Rt, Et, It, and total power... Geez, hope you understand this. I love the way you explain, I can actually understand it.

[@AcogSucker]

I've watched so many videos, and only you made me understand this 100%, Thanks bro

[@BrennaHobsonOFFICIAL]

Ah it all makes sense now! Much better explanation than what they taught us at school. I think I'm going to pass my end of year physics test now!

[@ApexVibez]

thank you i have a test tomorrow and my teacher doesn't explain well but u helped me out

[@rogermccloud4018]

Great instruction, one of the best I've seen. You made it very simple.

[@kevinlester]

Very well tought. I am about to learn this in basic electronics next week. Now I have a decent general idea. It helps to make notes of this video.

[@aminrad3077]

Best video I have seen so far. Thank you

[@elliereii]

thank you so much!!! wish me luck for my exams tomorrow!!!

[@aleenahjames8887]

this was perfect. thank you. I already learned all of this about 4 years ago but I honestly forgot most if not all. This serves perfectly as a refresher course!

[@meadowdelorto9216]

Thanks so much this actually saved my grade. Thank you!!!

[@ertreri]

It is actually quite intuitive if explained properly. The thing this video is missing is giving the following intuition: each parallel branch acts like a new access path to depleat your power source. The more parallel branches the more resitences you have in your system - true - but in reality smaller the overall system resitence since you have so many concurrent paths to depleat your power supply. Assuming the current of the system is not being limited. So more paths means overall less resitence. On the other hand the more resitence you have on a single path chunk - series circuit - the more you slow down the charges on that path. So in a chunk of a circuit in series the more resitences you have in there the more the overall resitence. Once you get this it is very obvious how to look at a circuit and identify a chunk of a circuit in series and add the resitences together. And find a chunk in parallel and determine the lower equivalent resitence... But yeah very good video

[@21AznInvazn]

Man thanks a lot have physics next period and didn't understand it at all till now. Great video great explanation

[@dogstar167]

i cant believe you can do it this way, less chance of mistake converting to fractions less mess in math much easier and as you mentioned much more intuitive thanks a lot.

[@garolittle]

Excellent overview. I am a beginner so this was very helpful.

[@kellyolszewski6224]

amusing, entertaining, AND helpful!

[@eXoniiTV]

Thanks man! this is great help right before a test tomorrow morning 8am :)

[@DerickTvdubai]

I like your explanation. Now i can understand better this ohms law.

[@johnsonrick6207]

Thanks really helped Better explanation than my my teacher and what my textbook and notes provide :)

[@Vgk36]

Good stuff!!! thanks for taking the time to post this!!

[@LolS0lar]

Great video! This really helped me understand the underlying concepts.

[@markhawes6639]

I get this far better than what I was taught in college.

[@DamianKenny8]

Best teacher on youtube

[@Arsinoe_]

Thank you! Saved my grade on my final tomorrow!

[@serrio1387]

You are a great help, More videos please. Thanks

[@lasonabreithe]

It's so clear to me now. Thanks this is amazing.

[@pmurph618]

Awesome!! and super professional looking!!

[@rabisgirl]

Thank you for this perfect video! You have that voice that makes me sleepy though... I'm going to pass my lab because of this upload. :D Thanks.

[@KillerNyanCat]

Thanks, This made learning this a lot easier!

[@sankagrero2042]

love the production value

[@DougLand]

This was an amazingly simple way to solve the parallel circuit. Love the knowledge, I just hope you get a better and brighter camera for the next lesson.

[@srijanalama8583]

That makes sense, the battery was used to find the total current by using ohms law! Like it or not the answer is "true ". I think it all depends on the length of the shape of the resistance coils potential on the flow of current :)

[@whynotanyting]

I know this video is old and that this advice might not be of any use now, but it would help out to have a lamp in front and to the left so that shadows aren't covering the material.

[@rodcollado5968]

Big Help!! Confused and struggled just trying to figure out which one to divide and multiply.

[@dannydanny6689]

This is a very informative video. Thank you for breaking this process down in an easy to understand format.

[@JasonfromMinnesota]

So helpful thank-you for your time how do you know the voltage drop is 100 percent from one end of the battery to the other?

[@slimfitalfonze13]

Thankyou so much, now I wont fail my engineering test.

[@hunterthompson5877]

YOU HAVE SAVED ME!!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@vivianrichards7274]

wow thanks dude u really breka down it inthe simpliest terms for me

[@Andywantsanswers]

don't you have to find the Rt ohms to find the (I) first before finding the total voltage? im lost.

[@vernandocody]

This is very helpful. thanks Mr. Cox

[@Uedukai]

Much obliged. I am working with a trash textbook with poor information, and explanation. This helped quite a lot.

[@anishp.baldota7140]

Very well explained but, you used wrong terms in some parts of the video, like calling voltage (potential difference) energy. The video was very helpful and you explained really well.

[@LisaSmith-jo5hw]

Love the harmonica. Total rock star! It's a process, but thank you for the tutorial.

[@rivelemerald44]

Thanks for this video! It was a lot of help!

[@chadwalker8859]

Thank you for this easy to understand lesson, great video! You helped me tremendously!!

[@amandhaliwal7091]

this was so helpful for finals

[@tomm599]

thanks to this video I understand parallel circuit. thank you:)

[@sea5205]

This was really helpful thanks a lot wish you explained where you get your formulas and numbers a bit more though

[@kaitlynroyalty9916]

I'm writing physcis tomorrow..hope this will be very helpful

[@zgarrettCH64]

Very helpful I now understand parallel circuits

[@kryacu29]

You make learning fun :3 Kudoooos! :) Thanks.

[@AlfredoPelaez]

This was really helpful, thanks!

[@jamestaylor9856]

Thank you for making this, big help!

[@Rider2608]

That was AWESOME! I've been struggling with this and now i know the answer! The other thing i'm struggling with is Power and Energy Formula. Can you do do this? I've got 2 weeks to understand it.

[@KaiMagee19]

you explained really well and i understood but the current leaves the negative side of the battery

[@grantcox1057]

Yes, you're right. The standard convention (even though not really correct) has current leaving the positive side, so for better or maybe worse, I stuck with that convention.

[@DanielPerez-pt5wr]

Good video you made it real simple for me thanks for the help

[@Risingnshouting]

Fantastic video. I just subscribed and then unsubscribed when I saw how few videos you have. Please make more videos, you have a great mind for teaching, and I gotta learn a lot of stuff . . . Soooo yeah - make more videos :-)

[@sartsman]

Where was KZbin in 1984 when I was learning this stuff?

[@davids7627]

Great upload. I could understand method 1, where you used the 60 volts to get the overall result. I've never been able to grasp the reciprocal formula, method 2. Why is 1 divided by the resistance? Does the 1 represent the 60 volts used in method 1? I ask because the reciprocal seems to be the method that teachers and trainers always use.

[@emaduddin1212]

Excellent explanation.

[@Nikolaos34]

i have those two little magnetic dogs on my fridge! found them in an old barn. neat toy!

[@DfromBoston]

Pt= Vt * It= 60v * 18A = 1080 watts, that's a lot of power in that little circuit!

[@grantcox1057]

Yes, true! Maybe a little bit unrealistic in that regard, or at least atypical.

[@rndmukn]

excellent explanation. thank you.

[@grantacox]

Thanks for commenting. A 100-volt battery would always maintain a 100-volt energy difference between its positive and negative terminals. You can sort of think of a battery like an escalator - it always takes electrons up the same height (energy difference) , no getting off halfway. Hope that helps.

[@asedcopf]

despite using a potato, some sticks, and glow in the dark fungus to film this vid - you have a very clear way of explaining the calculations/concepts. - only thing I would suggest is maybe don't skip over the reciprocal calculation, for the noobs among us.

[@grantacox]

Enjoyed and appreciated your comment. I was not nominated for any cinematography awards! Was robbed.

[@jakehealthx]

That harmonica sounded bad ass.

[@vinaygupta2436]

I wish, I could have gone through these videos when I was doing my Graduation.

[@Aostreyko]

You did a great job! Thank you!

[@shamalamma45]

Great vid! Thank you for uploading.

[@vivianhernandez8550]

Thanks!!! this was such a helpful video

[@betyouwontpussy]

sometimes its easier to use the triangle voltage/I*R
