Capacitors Part 1 - Introduction

What are capacitors and how are they used.

[@alvindzaki6085]

it is a shame that this channel did not get much spotlight, many of your videos answer many of my question about electronics.

ive seen a lot of youtube electronic teachers english is not my lamguage . and still your the best teacher than the one teaching electronics in my own dialect

[@RC_Cola2020]

Thank you. The first five minutes, explained what I was looking for. Every other video jumped into taking capacitors apart, but nobody explains what they actually do.

[@d3nt391]

Best electronics teacher of all time

[@turbulent-582]

I wish I had teachers like this gentleman to teach , instead of academic bastards who can not explain anything without a bunch of meaningless Maths. Teaching is an Ability that only 1 in a 100 have like this gentleman....Bravo

[@seaworthylearning8458]

thank you so much for this! your whole channel is really excellent there's not enough organized EE information for people trying to learn on their own

[@markusserafin]

very good explanation. I really do appreciate your job! Like someone else said before, it's a pity that such good content has so little views (compared to overall KZbin's crap)

[@DDProductions-rz7or]

Extremely good information,. Keep it up!

[@seshachary5580]

very educative. Thank you regards

This is the first time i listened to your topics and so far your explanations are great ! Regarding Capacitors, i have read hundreds of textbooks trying to explain how capacitors work and they all pretty much say the same verbiage but nobody explains how these capacitors work and the explanation is easy to understand. You come along with an ingeneius explNation using the Compressor analogy. Using this compressor idea helps explain why the calacitor eventually stops pushing ectrons flow and the voltage becomes the same value of the battery voltage. So you seem to have a gift in explaning weird components so they are easy to understand. Thank you for the clarity ! I hope most young electricity/electronic students get a chance to see your videos because they will learn the basic technology very quickly and not struggle with it, as has been the situation in past generations of ztudents in electronics. Thanks again. Gerard

One Coulomb of thanks for Sir. Really, really nice explanations .

[@dennisking3844]

excellent video - the series explains many of the insightful details that are often taken for granted

[@rolanddejesus8685]

thank you very much sir... very clear explanation.

[@John-uo5ro]

You make reference to former videos.... In what order should I watch all your playlists? I guess I can just go to Videos, scroll down to the bottom and watch all of them from the bottom up and that's the intended order?

[@markn7419]

actually I should have said that a tire will only be fully inflated when its volume is completely filled. Can a capacitor be filled when the voltage source is at different voltage levels? Is it just a matter of more or less time?

[@markn7419]

great explanation, will a capacitor always charge to its rated voltage or is that dictated by the circuit?

[@danieljurgill1681]

Very early in explanation, there is an insulator between 2 plates. You drew a line from the negative side of the capacitor and said current was flowing...but how could it flow if there is an insulator between the positive and negative plate ? In the air tank example there is no such negative side of the air tank back to the pump suction.

[@kirchofffontaine6845]

Hey Bob, if we put a capacitor in DC voltage source with no resistance that means voltage of a capacitor equals voltage of the dc source and does that mean capacitor charge instant and no current flow in the circuit anytime ?

[@mikesradiorepair]

There is always a charge time in real life. Power supplies have output impedance (resistance) and even a battery has a internal resistance. Even the wires and leads connecting the capacitor to the power supply or battery have resistance.

[@kirchofffontaine6845]

Yeah, got that .Thanks.@@mikesradiorepair

[@TechnologyRules]

Thank you so much for your videos. Are you an actual teacher in real life?

[@LostInLeiden]

what happens in the circuit at 07:32 if both switches are closed simulatenously? So C charges via the battery but at the same discharges through the bulb?

[@farshidhz1174]

actually in both close SWs the batt charge Cap and turns on lamp and caps keep charging until gets full and when bat sw is open cap discharges in lamp.in real time we speak about 1uS and caps can remove ripples from our circuit Good Luck

As age goes up people cannot remember things. Statement of a supid. Today i realised and will change myself

[@xelth]

No electronics engineer has any idea what capacity is... You know that? Then tell me what the capacitance of just one plate of this capacitor is ... ;)
