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

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.

I love how it starts with a capacitor blowing up

[@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

[@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.

[@ArcanePath360]

One of, if not the most useful channel to learn this stuff from. I'm having a hard time with electronics. The more I learn, the more I realise I don't know. I really don't want to spend money on an oscilloscope but it seems like I'm heading in that direction. Electricity is a hard beast to tame

[@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!!,😃😃

You made me understand what a capacitor does in less than a sentence(and visual aid) i didnt understand it until now, thank you!

[@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.

[@jumijc]

I have been looking for this explanation for a while. Thank you Paul.

[@Chillingworth]

13:09 "The voltage will never actually reach 100%". In reality, it actually does reach 100%! The theoretical model depends on the fact that you could have an infinitely small charge, but in reality, the smallest charge possible is just one electron, so once that last electron enters, you're at 100% and it's fully saturated. (I think I remembered this from Electrical Engineering 101 by Darren Ashby.)

[@Songfugel]

Yes, people then to forget that mathematics are theoretical and do not accurately represent the physical real World. It just approximates it very accurately, the real physical world does not have infinities or paradoxes, since it wouldn't be possible then. In the real world there are constant (c = lightspeed, h = Planck's constant ) values and absolute quantized (h, Planck time) boundaries that mathematics is not limited by, this electron case is a perfect example of it in action.

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.

[@Cheesypockets]

Trig is not useless. It's actually useful in game dev and architecture/building. It's more of a matter in which field you want to go in.

[@jensschroder8214]

Tantalum capacitors have a mark or line on the positive side. These capacitors are very small and have a small internal resistance. But if you connect this the wrong way around, or the volts get too high, then this will burst. Electrolytic capacitors have the mark on the negative side. There are different types of voltage up to 450 volts, but the internal resistance also increases with the voltage. There are also capacitors for fast switching power supplies with low internal resistance. There are also non-polarized electrolytic capacitors for audio applications. Depending on the application and space, you have to choose the right type.

[@benlee3545]

Dear Experts, at 9:34, the capacitor is storing charge at the positive side which is different from the beginning. So for AC which is alternating, will it damage electrolytic capacitor with polarity?

[@scottk3292]

at 3:49 wouldn't the voltage drop across the bulb reduce the voltage stored in the capacitor? So they would add up to 1.5? Or does that only happen with current? No - wait - of course the voltage will spread and even itself out. So the bulb simply slows down the rate at which the capacitor will charge?

[@thegreatzoom5073]

@@sonugupta147 It's really extremely similar. You can even describe diodes using fluid flow as being spring loaded ball valves, where the pressure necessary to compress the spring and allow flow is the same as the forward bias voltage needed to turn on a diode. Fluid pressure in pipes works the same as voltage as well: with no current/flow you have no difference in voltage/pressure and fluids flow from high to low pressure just as current flows from high to low voltage.

[@sonugupta147]

@@thegreatzoom5073 I think potential is seperate quantity and it has more significance than pressure. May be it was discovered as a term representing some property related to the electric field. As the line integral of the electric field is potential and also the electric potential is only the property of the electric field.
