capacitor is similar to a battery. so when there is a need for more "power" it draws from it. microfarad is used to measure the capacity of a capacitor.

The capacitor saves energy in electric fields. Capacitance, measured in Farad, is just well... capacitance. I wonder why they use 3300μF instead of 3.3mF though

Bulk capacitors would light you up. They're not kidding with that 250V on the side of them. And you have to double that because they're in series. Has to do with how the voltage doubling circuit works in a PC PSU. The switch on the side for 120-240 VAC input. When you switch it into 120 it doubles the voltage to bring it up to 240.

The proper term for that transformer is a step down transformer (for those curious) which means it lowers the output voltage compared to the input.

This is just for those who are less educated in electronic components who are curious.

LMG goes weeks between concept, writing, shooting, editing, and airing. Even live events are pre-planned and scripted. GN did a good intro to power supplies, with a focus on their intent to test power supplies with their equipment more so than the grade 9 introduction to electricity. LMG has also done a good piece on power supplies in line with a series of pieces they have done on parts of your computer at a good grade 9 introduction to electricity and grade 10 introduction to switch mode. There are easily two dozen other youtube videos on this same topic as well, search and you will find many from this grade 9/10 level to digikey employed engineer level.

[@ahmetrefikeryilmaz4432]

This is grossly unfair to your professor. What he was explaining is probably everything about rectifiers, all the math pertaining to their operation, specifics that arise from the material used to build the thing and probably a lot more than I can think of right now. Do you need all that to be able to make a circuit? No. But that's the difference between a technician and an engineer, and there is also the physicist of course. Chances are your professor could make a crude rectifier completely from scratch using only household objects. You might think you don't need that kind of information and you might be right but more knowledge is always better if you can hold all that in and will come in handy sometime. I experience that every day.

[@375-Productions]

@@ahmetrefikeryilmaz4432 I think what they said was true with a lot of Education though, if your school, college or university teach you something and you still don't understand it, there are thousands of youtube tutorials to get you to understand it, and you usually will, much faster than school teaching you

"in parallel to these mosfets is a capacitor..." *capacitor explodes in the background*

[@trs5127]

For anyone wondering, the phenomenon of using a coil to generate EMF (electromotive force) in another coil is mutual induction. The current in primary coil is used to generate a magnetic field that produces an EMF in the secondary coil. This EMF then produces current in the secondary coil. Now, the EMFs of both the coils are in the ratio E²/E¹ = N²/N¹ (where E² and E¹ are the EMF of secondary and primary coil respectively and N² and N¹ are the number of turns in secondary and primary coil respectively). Now if the number of turns in sencondary coil is less than the number of turns in the primary coil, the EMF generated would be too, and vice versa. This is how transformers help in lowering (step down transformers) or increasing (step up transformers) the voltage supply. Bonus tip: the type of Transformer Linus showed is a core type transformer. There's also a shell type transformer, where both the primary amd secondary coils are wound to the same bar or soft-iron core. Those are relatively efficient.

Gamers Nexus was less educational and more amateurish in their presentation; they tried to educate and then review a psu in one video. Patrick's explanation of how the psu works was a quick whirlwind of technical jargon being thrown out without going into how they work. Steve and Patrick are learning as they go and try to put out a good review on a psu by supplying what data they can without checking the video over with experts in the PSU industry. Linus's video here focused on the educational aspect of how a psu works, and took advantage of the access they had to experts in addition to providing references for interested viewers.

@@loeffel999 the ones the get power to sata devices. and there are still many things that still use molex for power. and with 3.3v and 5v coming from the board it needs connectors to supply these devices with power.

During 2010 to 2018 approximately I went through three PSUs which stopped for no apparent reason. Since they are easily replaced I preferred this problem rather than some random mobo problem. Never buy a cheapo one, you need to spend $200-$400 on a good one. One big fancy looking Coolermaster had this annoying intermittent problem, some days it worked fine and some days the mobo would switch on and then switch off. Sometimes it might start on a later attempt. After a few months of this I bought an Antec and had no further problems. One went bang with a flash after operating normally for several months. A replacement worked fine. No problems with the mobo. FYI it was a X58 mobo with the Intel 980 overclocked to 4GHz which I used for ten years. It outlasted several PSUs

I thought Electroboom was gonna magically come into video the first time Linus said “rectifier”

WTH, It went from a Gigabyte to an HP Odense. Liz Lemon would be disappointed.

Having been working in electronics for the past 19 years, from what I recall the most common voltages used are the +/- 3.3V (low power logic), +/-5V (common for logic), +/- 12V, +24V (relay switching), +32V, +48V(telecommunication systems) and +52V(audio) though anything 24VDC and over is usually on specialized electronic equipment such as military systems (RADAR, SONAR etc). Military systems also get into some highly unusual voltage levels as well and the supplies for those being highly customized, I have worked on systems with DC voltages as high as 4250VDC.

I am watching this video while my physics teacher is teaching about conversion of ac to dc current... Linus did it better.. but I was like "universe want me learn this😂"
