Why does this dude know everything? I was learning trig from him yesterday, and algebra the day before, and now this? This dude is a legend.

[@jaafaromar8570]

Same thought dude hahaha he is so amazing!

[@modros6755]

This is basic electricity knowledge lol.......

[@BadPractices]

@@modros6755 So? Having such a wide variety of educational videos is an achievement regardless of how advanced it is. Buzz off, neckbeard.

Just had my final year exam with good grades. The Organic Chemistry Tutor has contributed to 60% of my success. Following these videos were of great help. I'm so grateful. Keep up this good job. Hope my college tutors will be like you.

[@Milan-wc9te]

So how's your college tutors like? I'm guessing they're not similar to the organic chemistry tutor 😅

[@faithakanga]

@@Milan-wc9te A number of them are, while the others aren't. They're just doing the job for the pay they receive 😅 Not all of them tho

[@reference_realistic]

Congratulations 👏. I'm just starting the process here😅

You are such a legend, man

[@markhosea8613]

Thanks! The drawing was very useful in helping me understand how the cylindrical potentiometer works

[@Festus2022]

@9:58 You say turning the knob Clockwise toward A INCREASES resistance, but in all the drawings you showed in the beginning, turning toward A is Counterclockwise, and if done all the way to A , you have eliminated all the resistive material and the brightness should be MAX. Please clarify.

[@annamand1790]

Thank you so much. I learnt more in this one video that in a whole year of college. God bless you.

can you make a tutorial for audio distortion circuit ?

Also, does he go over the difference between these and the other one, the rheostat?

Ooh, nice to know how the inner mechanisms of controllers work. Neat video!

@Luke Roman just another scammer youtube comment xD

[@michaelspurlock9575]

Does a potentiometer only do series circuits or can you parallel circuits with them too?

[@baerster]

I have a question about why a potentiometer used as a volume control needs to have three lugs. It seems that in an audio circuit, the first lug goes to the input signal, the middle lug (wiper) is the output (coming out from the pot) and the third lug goes to ground. I assume this means that the balance of the current (the current that does not go out the wiper) goes to ground, unless the wiper is all the way at the "max volume" end and in that case all current goes out the wiper. Is that correct? What would happen if there was no connection to ground, and the current could go only out the wiper but not down the rest of the track and out to ground?

[@J.C...]

If you don't ground the lug, then it's not a voltage divider. That is, it's not putting a constant load on the pot and not acting like a real volume control. It's become a variable resistor in line with the output, which is essentially a tone sucker. No. Don't do that.

[@brucemorgan9758]

Thank you so much !

[@amirulasyraf9900]

What is the difference application between the two arrangement of the circuits? (one by using all 3 pins of the potentiometer and another only uses two pin). It seems to me that both have the same function of varying the resistance. Or is there any other thing I missed?

[@Cricis11700]

Seems like A B C are used for turning up your volume or turning it down A and B applications where its only 2 are used in dimmable lights, so that you can go from 0% on 50% on them the max 100%

[@elizabethadnew5216]

You the best

[@successthruknowledge]

A very thorough explanation however the last example was difficult for me to visualize. I think that it would be nice if he created a real world physical example using the potentiometer in the same way as did a real world example with capacitors and diodes. Anyway great explanation.

[@musaadigun4072]

Thanks Bro!

[@thetraindriver01]

Nice, thanks 😊

[@yuvaltal6417]

Multiplication of total resistance by the V in will give us the V out? Can you explain this further more please? Thank you!

[@Anarchsis]

So which would I use to control the output from an air blower on a coffee roaster? Or temperature into the roast chamber? I’m a simple man please answer in simple terms. I think they’re both the voltage one, but I’m probably wrong.

[@vidisha8467]

Thank you 😊

[@0.Abdulrahmannn]

If the circuit is connected from point A to C, I think the resistance should be the same no matter what you do to the nab. is that true?

[@muhammedanzal722]

Thank you sir

[@rodolfonuyda5757]

Thanks for the info,i want to know the diffent type of pots : Log, typeA,typeB, ETC. for example my audio amp. has a volume cont. 10k A , i cant find 10k A,i buy a 10k B if i intall type B, will it affect the quality or loudness of my amplifer? Tnx

[@daruscole1586]

To control a small (like used in models/toys) brushed DC motor, would you use it like the light dimmer or like the other to control voltage?

[@Nomine_Pater]

The higher the *wattage*, the higher its resistance has to endure the potentiometer....

[@westbay5858]

My setup calls for a 35K ohm pot. Can I use a higher value such as 40 or 50K. If I do, what will happen? Will I prevent signal from leaving amp and damage components in my amp? Thanks.

[@RosieDaCherrie]

Can I use some of the concepts described in this video for a video on controller aiming? I will link the video in the description and provide proper citation.

[@lollel1490]

Why do variable resistors only have 2 pins and potentiometers have 3? Why does a potentiometer need that extra pin?

[@rabbitazteca23]

Hi! Why can't the vout be between points C and B?

[@PLF...]

it can. just switch the wires and everything will be mirrored.

[@thanaa6401]

Does that mean that potentiometers are tripoles?

Thanks for the video. Btw, it's pronounced po-tench-e-ah-me-ter.

Can I solder a normal 100 kOhm resistor to a 100 kOhm multiturn potentiometer in order to get to 200 kOhm? Can't find a 200 kOhm multiturn potentiometer!

[@marklowe7431]

Great video just it's pronounced potenti o meter

[@dianajanediansay7882]

5.56 i think u got it backwards . Swing to A should direct towards 12 V

[@brahimtchouk5957]

That's true.if you move towards point A this means you are bypassing the resistor,which leads to a brighter light-bulb and vis-versa.l think he has reversed the situation.

[@J.C...]

My friend, it's "puh·ten·shee·aa·muh·tr" 6 syllables Not Po-ten-cho-meter It's "po-ten-che-ahh-meter"

[@mihirchandran]

Potentiometers are adjustable resistors and are not variable resistors. The difference is that potentiometers or adjustable resistors have 3 terminals and variable resistors have 2 terminals.

[@sunnyjd3354]

Who is watching this to figure out how a PS4 and Xbox potentiometer work

[@Joshua-kt5by]

Definitely learned about potentiometers because of that curiosity. The controllers use two linear potentiometers to make them travel on a plane.

[@PoopSockles]

At 8:14 you say the brightness of the lightbulb is directly proportional, maybe I'm misunderstanding but did you mean inversely proportional? Since if one value is changed down, the other goes up? I thought directly proportional meant if one value is changed up, the other value goes up, and vice versa. Thanks for this video! I'm not even in class, but I still learned something.
