I'm hooked on this video series. I was struggling a bit with the electronics questions on the amateur radio General exam. These videos are short and to the point and provide enough background so that you really understand the concepts. Great work!

[@devanesh5791]

have u cleared it?? pls reply im also preparing for that

[@TheTechPrepper]

@@devanesh5791Oh, yes. I passed a couple years back. Good luck!

[@harounelmir2632]

this is a perfectly organised presentation. Thank you for taking your time into helping in the best way possible

[@sreekumarUSA]

You have explained the function of Zener Diode ( and many other components) very well. The lecture has professorial gravity and can be understood and grasped well by any student in the class. Thank you.

[@bablisingh3737]

so eloquently explained ,having watched and read others, was not able to grasp the subject, but your teaching is instant to grasp.THANKS,made my life very very easy,too good..keep it up

[@TheCoral999]

For some reason this english channel explained the Z-diod better than any german one I could find

[@user-bn5wm2ud3c]

right and it's only 3mins long

The app is called EveryCircuit. And this is the best video I' ve ever seen. I finally understand Zener Diode.

[@denushloitongbam1146]

its the simplest and easiest explanation i have found for zener diode ...good job

[@rogilrosales6007]

Great Vlog! very simple but very easily understandable, I'm new to your channel but I'm fascinated by how you create learning materials, pls. continue creating next ones about electronics..

[@eeverett2]

Nice to have such a simple and straight to the point explanation. The video demo was great too.

[@MrLalochifrin]

best explanation of how a Zener diode works. I have checked many other sites but this is the best.

[@MuhammadAli-gj6ss]

You made it simple and easy to understand, great job!

[@vitorsmgomes]

after searching and searching and....for a good explanation about how Zener really works, this video was far away the best one! thank you very much! im totally clarified!

[@nabeelkhan1275]

Wonderful and Amazing explanation of Zener diodes in 3minutes, Really Got through the concept, Thank You.

[@34-rashmikamangalya-ra74]

I was literally searching from yesterday and no proper vdo on the net thank God found yours. Thanks

[@johnpenman1548]

An excellent explanation of how a zener diode works. Now, I understand what this type of diode does!

[@tishinpadilla100]

Thanks for putting a link to everycircuit. That's an amazing site/tool. Great work!

[@CosmicBrain21]

I like how you explain things clearly and simply!

[@enriquecorrea5932]

Im in electrical school to become a 4th year electrician. My teacher is good but after talking about zener diodes, it made no sense. You did such a great job explaining this and helped me with my school. Thank you very much and i will be subscribing!!

[@JoelNSales]

An educator's point of view explanation, very clear, and informative

[@informativecontent4778]

you are awesome sir, i luv the style of your teaching very thankful preparing for my final exam with your vids

[@monkeymaster6489]

This channel will most certainly help with my exam studies. Excellent video

[@milesemanuelpaavola7994]

Great video. It helps with my electrical engineering studies. Thank you.

[@someonenew5198]

Amazing explanation I really loved it the you break it down for us Thanks a lot

[@LEODECRISTO]

Very well explained visually and easy to understand commentary. Thank you very much and looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[@souvikkundu7108]

[@saraths4973]

I didn't know what a zener diode until I watch the video.it's very easily explained.great going...

[@aodhmacraynall8932]

Great videos. I'm doing more or less independent study at a technical college in electronics; it's a pretty sweet deal as long as I keep up with the reading, the homeworks and the lab work. But, I find myself wishing I had more instruction in some of the very basics and even just a different narrative than offered in a text (Boylestad). Your video fill that need. They help keep me on the straight and narrow as far as focusing on the topics and I cannot stand listening to those effin curry-chompers on some other channels. Keep up the videos. You've got my vote.

[@rastislavpecena6690]

Thanks a lot. Very simple and useful presentation of a Zener diode.

[@alokdey1582]

thanks man this video has helped me a lot in understanding the concept

[@legpetruchka2124]

Hello Many thnks for thid vidéo. The role of a ZENER is essentiel in our circuits. Thanks again

[@gsgsgshshhsh3312]

You are doing awesome job! 🙌🙌🙌

[@mohammadalitorabi5626]

Simple and Easy to understand, you work is just great ...

[@mohammadabrar7813]

You have shown it with practical. Now its very much clear.

[@Maxximilian]

Great illustration in simple words.

[@Ivanzrer]

Flashbacks to the first time I saw a zener diode on a schematic. This was in a highschool electronics class, in what I guess would equate to junior year in the united states. It was however in the "Elektrofag" (Electro-subject) line of the school system. We had basically not been given any education on what anything was at that point, since it was pretty early on in the year, and the teacher drew this schematic for a rectifier. I knew a little bit, so I managed to piece together how it worked, except for the diode. I had a look at the diode and thought to myself "thats a funky diode, I wonder whats different about it" and I asked the teacher as such. He tells me "oh thats a Zener diode" and wrote that on the board. I ended up having to ask this teacher about it several times throughout the year, and the best explanation I could get was "The voltage across it is constant" Needless to say, those who joined that line of school planning to do something with electronics (myself included) were so demotivated by the utter confusion those classes were, that practically all of us ended up not persuing that.

[@najmaquadri9124]

The best explanation I have ever found 😊 keep it up!!!!!!

I love Zener diodes ! many thanks for this big lesson !

[@630pavansai9]

Bloody helpful man! Loved it!😘

[@makemoneyonline7502]

Little summary of this video : Diodes allow current to flow in only one direction. If you were to reverse-biased (change the direction) the diode, the current will not flow through the circuit until the "Zener Voltage" has been exceeded. As it happens, the voltage of the power supply is at 5volt. He moved the voltage to 10.8V, like that the "Zener Voltage" has been exceeded and the current can flow through the circuit. Zener diodes can be very useful for : creating voltage references, shunt voltage regulator and over voltage protections circuit. When you were to increase the voltage of the power supply to 51V and measuring the voltage throughout the zener diode with the help of a voltmeter, you'll notice that the voltmeter measured a voltage of approximately 10 volt and therefore you created a 10 volt voltage regulator.

[@fuahuahuatime5196]

I studied this in college but it's been so long I forgot what it basically did. Thanks for the simple explanation!

[@tsadiamabel]

Very well explained. Thank you so much sir.

[@johnpaulmellish7266]

Thanks, helped me understand why a Zener Diode was in the wiring of an old cruise control set up on a car.
