Capacitors (Full Lecture)

[@thethiefman2681]

Wow. Theres a lot to unpack here. Thanks for letting me know what i was missing out on! Love that free information exists for me to watch. I recommend you to friends and coworkers any chance i get

At 13:11 I'm using the wrong greek letter for permittivity. It should technically be "epsilon" and not "mu".

Great lecture sir!

A great comprehensive lecture on capacitors. I especially loved the end where you address "does current flow through a capacitor?" Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this very valuable component.

My understanding improved when I started looking a power flowing in the circuit rather than considering voltage/current independently. Capacitors and inductors take in power over time, i.e., energy, then release it but shifted to the other element of power. Caps take in voltage over time at a rate controlled by current limiting elements between the power source and the capacitor, but can release it as current suddenly limited only by current limiting elements between the capacitor and ground/return. Inductors do similar but store current and release voltage surges.

That is actually an excellent way of visualizing the transient charge/discharge process!

@@bigbadtech I could always do to the math having learned electronics as part of my Physics undergrad. I was never comfortable that really understood intuitively how caps and inductors worked. Your explanation of capacitors in power factor correction really helped me. First explanation that I run across that didn't have a lot of hand waving.

super appreciate the simple explanation at 42:20

god bless this man, SERiously wow

Every time you say 'can you dig it?', I imagine Booker T saying 'Sucka' :).

With a scissor kick to the back of the neck!

Welcome to Kanya Africa it is os desert a lot for all

Just wanted to give a piece of feedback for this lecture, since I know you're updating certain videos in this and other playlists. I do want to say that while this lecture is awesome at conveying information in a way that's easy to process, while also being challenging in the right ways at the right times (in my opinion, at least), the run time is a little bit long in my opinion. Past about the 30 minute mark, especially being that these lectures have the pause-to-evaluate component, it can start to feel a little bit like an endurance test, at times. I hope this doesn't come across as non-constructive criticism by the way, because in general I do find these lectures to be a SUPER helpful and useful way to get a strong command of DC circuit analysis, and I would say that I feel confident in the basics of circuit analysis mainly because of these lectures, I just wanted to give the input for future uploads, since you're still doing those :)

[@bigbadtech]

Yes, that's one of the principle reasons I'm going back and redoing some of the earlier lectures. Rather than having theory and examples in one long lecture I'm breaking them up into two smaller parts. This seems to be working out much better. This being said ... the transient DC response of capacitors and inductors is a heavy weight to move. Either way you look at it, there's a lot of material!

[@GovernmentAcid]

@@bigbadtech Gotcha, gotcha. I think that's a good approach, and I'm also glad you're keeping your content updated, and updating your lecturing style as well. There's a noticeable difference in overall flow between your videos uploaded from 2015, and uploaded today, and that's really great to see from an educational channel that's dedicated to lectures in this way. I've seen so many truly kick-ass lectures on youtube communicated so intuitively, often on mind-krogglingly complicated and notoriously difficult subjects, but the channel's last upload (and many times only upload) was in 2012 or something similar. Look forward to seeing your updated lectures on your other playlists!
