Hi Martin, I watched the whole video and thought it might drop few words here for you. Funny thing is that I'm a Computer Engineer myself who have no clue whatsoever on basic electronics (even though I studied all of this back in college). Watching this video reminds me of all the useless teachers at the university who are there just because they have a brilliant curriculum; yet they lack of the very basic teaching skills (i.e. clear and concise language, use of analogies for visualization, etc.). I'm very happy I came across your channel, you're very talented and your videos highly instructive. Keep it up and all the best!!

Just in cause anyone is wondering: there is a small mistake in the video. The AA battery reading is 1.191, not the 1.91 that's read out. The former is reasonable for a somewhat discharged battery, the latter is much more than a single 1.5V battery would deliver. Considering the video is intended for those with less experience, people might get confused, so I thought it's worth pointing out.

For anybody wondering about the question: DC is almost always more dangerous to workers, not because it's inherently more powerful, but because of the difference in physiological effects between AC and DC. The nice sine wave of AC current, indicating that the current reverses periodically, means that when you become a current path, your muscles will contract when the current nears either maxima, and relax as it approaches 0. That means that whatever you were doing that caused you to become the current path, you can stop doing (drop the wire/tool). With DC, your muscles just contract and that's it. You have to just hope that your life doesn't depend on being able to release something, because that ain't happening. I haven't watched the next video yet but I'd bet that's more or less what is said.

50Hz in Australia, pretty sure 60Hz in America. AC alternating from +180 degree / -180 degree of the sine wave at 50/60 times PER SECOND....... AC is always more dangerous. Taking holding on to the conductor out of the equation, it is the pulsing that completely fucks up the human body. A very simple google search can confirm this, the number of people saying DC is more dangerous is worrying and i hope you aren't all in the electrical trade.

The human body has a higher impedance to DC currents than AC, so this means that humans are able to withstand the effects of an electric shock arising from DC exposure much better than when exposed to AC Alternating current (A.C) is five times more dangerous than Direct current (D.C). The frequency of the alternating current is the main reason for this severe effect on the human body. ... At this frequency, even a small voltage of 25 volts can kill a person.

+Thatoneblackguy258 I don't own one myself but I need on for mechanics and the ones they use in college are pretty reliable. I will probably get mine from halfords(uk) for like £20. they sell them on Amazon

Very good analogy of voltage and current. Great tutorial. Thank you!

Both are equally dangerous. Most DC circuits do not exceed 100V so we don`t necessarily think them as being as dangerous. Either way current kills and both AC and DC have the potential of deliver fatal amounts.

Amperage kills, not current.

Yes, meant to say voltage.

A/C is more dangerous. Let's not be silly here with the facile equivocations.

DC voltage is frequently 300 to 800 volts and beyond.

He asked "which is more dangerous?" The answer is obviously they are both equally dangerous. They will both kill you. A wise man once told me, as I looked in amazement at an electric fence and read '10,000 volts': "Son, it ain't the volts that kill you. It's the amps." Alternating Current, otherwise known as AC current is just a more efficient way to carry power without loss. It doesn't mean it's more dangerous. Always take proper precautions when dealing with electrical situations. Remember, even a little 12v battery has enough power to stop your heart, given the right situation. Have fun juicing :)

Excellent video. I have not gotten full use of my meter and your videos are showing me other ways I can use for testing equipment and appliances, etc. Thank you. Dan.

i have used your video to help educate RV people that need some basic information..... well put together all my friends have appreciated this educational video.... unfortunatly a lot of people who get into RVing have no clue between AC and dC ...much less trouble shoot...nicely done
