teachers/professors should just play these videos during their classes to avoid confusing their students.

[@user-rn7ng6zv1j]

@Alter Kater sometimes no amount of theory can explain you what a 30 sec visual can .

[@user-rn7ng6zv1j]

@Alter Kater That's your way of putting technology down, i respect your opinion nonetheless but all i meant was that people had no choice earlier but now we do . upgrading with technology is not bad, however i do not question those who still want to learn conventionally. :)

[@giorgiolelmi8175]

Exactly

[@SoloRenegade]

@@VinnieBlackLodge That's just it isn't it? Why pay for college when there are people online teaching the same material for free. I too learned 95% of what I know on my own. Tech College being online makes no sense, unless maybe it was programming/software. Tech requires hands-on. Even the big fancy engineering degrees are suffering from a serious lack of any practical hands-on skills and applications. I tutor students and interns in engineering, and I have to spend significant time teaching them basics, stuff they should have know already. Stuff I knew long before graduating from any sort of program, things I learned in high school.

[@Mstrofpup]

​@Alter Kater There is zero correlation to decreased learning ability due to 'visuals.' This is pure nonsense.

[@shlumpywumpy]

I love how it starts with a capacitor blowing up

[@thesmallestminorityisthein4045]

Sometimes learning what not to do is quicker.

[@syedhusein4515]

I have blown many capacitors during my college days. Hahaha

[@cpK054L]

Either put the polarized capacitor in backwards. Or use a voltage that is above its rating. Scary thing is a lot of supercaps have low voltage ratings... and a very massive capacitance... they'll literally burst into flames

Imagine if they forgave all student loans and just had put the money towards forwarding THIS technology instead of scamming everyone into leaving their homes and move to a brainwashing university :( What's sad is that this STILL wouldn't be as widely available if it hadn't been for Covid and the myriad of people at home with nothing to do :P

Thanks for this. It's the first video I've found that actually explains how capacitors work in a circuit and how to calculate the desired capacity as well as info about configuration, which a newbie would certainly find useful. Good job!

[@PhilJonesIII]

I was 25 when I went back to uni to do electronics. I was expecting to work hard but, didn't expect to be doing homework until 2 am for stuff that some others (19-20 yo) were completed during the lecture. This was especially true for maths. Still, I ended up with a good career and have no complaints. I never stopped studying after that. Once you get back into the 'learning/thinking' mindset, it starts to get easier. Don't ever stop, man.

[@NumberOneScientist]

@@PhilJonesIII ......... AND OTHERS ......... I was born in the 1940's --- EVERY DAY I am studying, learning SOMETHING --- If one does not USE IT ( YOUR BRAIN ) --- one will lose the ability to do most things --- such as LEARNING , REMEMBERING things --- one MUST exercise that " muscle " between ones ears --- I am still quite able to keep my memory working just as well as I did in my early 20's when I stepped into my own laboratory --- STILL learning, still puttering around my laboratory today ......... USE IT --- or --- LOSE IT ......... End of story --- PERIOD.

[@PhilJonesIII]

@@NumberOneScientist Couldn't agree more. Most people finish school and rarely pick up a book again. That is unfortunate because that is the same population we use to measure mental performance with age. The result: mental performance, as measured in the general population, declines with age. Like an athlete that stops training and goes to seed, the mind has to keep exercising. It absolutely does not have to be that way. It also helps a lot if you have friends with the same mindset.

great video showed a lot of explanation , may I ask you to make a video on different types of passive filters please

[@mnleber]

I have been dealing with inductors, transformers, capacitors, transistors, resistors etc for over 40 years in DC and AC applications in maintenance or very basic trouble shooting. My quandary is I can never seem to grasp what they are doing in real life applications such as power control via inductors OR capacitors in AC equipment. The videos are amazing on a basic level that I never could grasp in high school electrical and electronics and then in Engineering in University. Transformers application is somewhat of a black art that even many electrical engineers don’t truly understand and the result in design is often trial and error. GOOD job I hope I can find more info that will help the light bulbs in my brain become brighter!!,😃😃

[@TapeGone]

great explanation, thanks a lot!

[@LeonardoStaAna-cf8ll]

Thank you. Very informative.

[@elkhayder]

We would love if you added the Capacitor voltage general formula : Uc = E . e ^ (-t/T) , where Uc: Voltage across the capacitor E: The voltage across the battery T: time constate ( T = R . C )

[@DavidPysnik]

Thanks for adding this. My only complaint about the video was not giving the formulas for where those percentages came from. Now I see with E = 1 and T = 1, the discharge percentage remaining is obtained by e^(-t) and the charge percentage with 1-e^(-t).

[@geeache1891]

'We' don't. It is actually more illustrative to focus on explaining what an exponential curve means in practice. Only in addition to mentioning the reduction percentages to learn, it could have been mentioned that of each next time period is the actual voltage value multiplied by 0.368, as a donkey bridge, even though that may already refrain viewers from learning the percentage by heart.

How do you size a decoupling capacitor on a DC circuit that is installed to prevent inrush current (I think), let say on a toggle switch leads? Or at the VCC pins of a dropout regulator? (sometimes you see 10uF and 1uF in parallel, instead of just the big one)

I wish they taught us like that is school. Instead if this they filled our heads with useless abstract formulas in trigonometry and forcing us to solve engineering level problems in physics. At least now I can really understand how the things work.

[@MaxC_1]

@Alter Kater doesn't look like raising sheep is going too well though. No need to share your bad advice with others

[@jamesusespivot]

Theres a very short route from learning about capacitors to having to use trig to calculate impedance in said capacitors once you deal with ac. So if you can’t do trig, just knowing what a capacitor is won’t get you very far. Reason teachers don’t teach this way is either cause they’re not very good at connecting the math to real world applications or they just assume you already know, after anyone interested enough can easily look up what a capacitor is online or at a library.
