    the anaology i was taught was a car. the electron is the car. the voltage relates to how much acceleration you are using. the current flow is how fast you are actually going, and the resitance is the type of road, smooth straight road, conductor. muddy uphill road with trees, wheterh brakes are applied = resistance.

    • @1pcfred
      @1pcfred 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      A large capacitor can go bang but TO-220 packages really give a cracking pop. I remember once when I was young building a power supply and I used the wrong pin out on a component package. I powered it up late at night and it blew up like a firework. I quickly went to bed then.

    Love the slo mo of the resistor burning v...e...r...y f...u...n...n...y! From secondary school physics I learnt Ohm's Law definition as being: "The Voltage is directly proportional to the current times the resistance when the temperature is constant". V=IxR.
    In the old days we used a flexible cable called Vulcanised Rubber Insulated (or VRI) That's how I remember Ohms law. It's always important to share knowledge and pass it on to others.
    Great start to the series.

    well,... This was a great video and a great explanation to give a person the general concepts of electricity. I really enjoyed it. I have to apologize for not commenting on your videos lately, but here is what has been going on, I have been going through a lot of your videos that you created... ( if you're viewing numbers are increasing on older videos, that was me Ha ha ha ) I wanted to comment on each one of the videos that I was learning from, but also just wanted to move on to the next one to continue the learning process. you have many videos covering a variety of subjects in electronics lots of stuff on components, lots of videos on test equipment a lot of videos on tracking down a problem and techniques for doing that. All very important subjects. So, seeing this video kind of going back to the basics just to cover new viewers I would assume, and to get everybody brushed up on some of the basics, it never hurts to go over this stuff, and I know more of this is coming. I appreciate it. I hope to be a little more active in making comments even if they are in some of the past videos... Participation is important, and analogies in explaining things are also important all of us have learned from various people certain explanations for how things work. And it never hurts to hear how someone else learned what they know. 🙂

  • @daz41262010
    @daz41262010 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    great question Richard it was franklin who thought that was right but electrons flow from negative to positive, but we conform to the standard that electricity "flows" from positive to negative. In this case think of it is why does the stone want to roll down hill, same deal there is a surplus on one end and a void on the other causing a flow.

    Richard, I have been busy with things and wanted to see your Learn Electronics course. I have just watched and thought it fantastic, natural, essentials and inviting, as this is what’s made your channel along with your easy manner a success.
    I will be seeing my son and Grandson this weekend where I will be presenting him with some things to get him started, I tried very badly as a father to go down this route and failed, for all sorts of reasons, but being able to watch these tutorials, as well as having a reference aspect, is certainly in my view, excellent.
    I congratulate you and look forward to watching further series of tutorials. It’s amazing as a former fireman and armature photographer and camera collector, I discover here again we have the triangle and the relationship of using water flow as a method of understanding and calculation. Triangle of fire 🔥 Heat, Material and Oxygen! Photography Light, Shutter, Aperture so thank you so much! Regards David

  • @Foobar_The_Fat_Penguin
    @Foobar_The_Fat_Penguin 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You're off to a good start. Perhaps the only clarification I'd add is that virtually every conductor has some resistance. Your classification into conductors, insulators, and resistive materials could perhaps be misinterpreted as conductors having no resistance. But except for superconductors (which you won't find in anything coming across your bench any time soon), everything has resistance. And that can be relevant in some cases (e.g. blown tracks due to short circuits drawing too much current).

    Definitely enjoyed it. I've been on this learning patch for a few years and i'm excited to see these lessons keep going. You're a great teacher. This week I diagnosed a truck as needing a new engine computer. It wasn't firing the #2 injector. Before ordering a new computer I decided to at least pull the old one apart and see if i could find the problem. I was able to test the module well enough using what i've learned mostly from you to be confident that there was actually no problem with it. I went back and found there was a wiring issue in the truck. Had I not spent as much time watching your videos as I have, I would likely have made a costly mistake.

Been tinkering with electronics since I was young, but decided now late 40's to actually learn this stuff. I have loads of caravan PSU's/chargers on my bench I want to try and repair. So hoping I be able to fix them with intentional logic opposed to I think this does that, so i try that. Looking foward to the next lesson.

  • @besmirgrezda2245
    @besmirgrezda2245 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thank you very much for the analogy and great explaining. As for the question that you have in the end of the video, i was taught the electrons goes the opposite way and also the current, so the right way is to say that the current goes from - to +, but this way will disorient the way of learning for begginers, so to make easy for them we always say the opposite from + to -!! I don't really know if this is 100% right ....we just are told so.
    Will wait to see the second video 👍👍 great job, i really appreciate all of your videos...very handfull and understandable.

    Can you please do a video on ground? Ground just meaning the negative side of the battery in the case of circuits? How about “hot ground”? Differences in the meaning of ground in AC vs DC, etc. Thanks for the videos!!

    I didn't realize it was a full moon tonight.. Just playing, but very good explanation for beginners, the waterpipe method is what I was taught as well and for practical purposes and circuits it suits most applications just fine. Also, points to Griffindor for the quantum acknowledgment.

    Hi Richard, may be worth mentioning that there are variations of sysmbols. IIRC the wiggly resistor symbol(ANSI) was, in the UK, superceeded back in the 60'sor early 70's? with a new international standard (IEC). Must confess I prefer the wiggly one 🙂

    I learned it this way too. The pressure is the height of the water in the tank. The battery is a pump that pumps the water upwards into the tank. There is a pressure drop on pipes and possibly a turbine in the circuit, which represents the resistance.

    11:43 - You might tend to think the water analogy falls apart here as you mentioned; but, when you consider the source of the water (the earth), and water's tendency to return to the ground, the analogy _does_ "hold water" in this sense. And just as it takes energy to generate an electrical source (chemical for a battery; mechanical for a power plant), it takes energy to put water into the big water tower from out of the ground (and, through gravity or other force, returns to ground.)

    Heya, love this explanational video it's so cristal clear well done. Perhaps it is an idea to go so far that after the theory explanation it might be nice for the subscribers to build an FM/AM radio themselves under your learning

    12:50 - Technically the water does have to flow back to the source: the ground. A pump is needed to get water out of the ground and eventually returns to ground (whether directly by gravity or indirectly through evaporation and precipitation).

    Remember we normally talk about conventional current where it flows from the positive to the negative, as apposed to electron flow which of course flows from the negative to the positive.

      ​@@LearnElectronicsRepair It is the absence of electrons or "Holes" that flow from positive to negative and electrons in reality flow from negative to positive but as the previous replyer stated, conventional flow dictates the opposite for ease of understanding. I very much enjoyed watching this video and look forward to watching the next one. It reminds me of electronics class in high school. Great job and see you on the next one!

    One thing need is to realize there is a thing called non-ohmic conductors and they are pretty common. The resistance they offer depends on how much voltage is applied. An example is a silicon or germanium diode. It only conducts in one direction. Below .6 -.7 volts it begins to conduct. adding .1 volt is enough to cause to burn up. NE-51 lamps are non-ohmic conductors. At about 67 volts the begin to conduct. The footage drops to 51 volts If they are connected to power they conduct so much current that they instantly burned up. To protect them we put a resisted in series with them. LEDs are non-ohmic but they too need a protective resister. Ohmic conductors are essentially metals and carbon.

      The math is simple and useful. So it is worth doing. Excess current is destructive. So you use the formulas to make sure you don't fry components before you hook them up.

    Hi, Richard. I'm also a beginner, and I wish I could understand your videos when you're reading from schematics or making one from scratch; I tried my luck on a video of yours, which explains a little about transistor in series from an amplifier, but I couldn't understand anything. Would you please consider making a weekly series of videos featuring "The electronic component (or part) of the week" and tell us everything we need to know about it? Not in general or grand scope of things, but components one needs to know when investigating an issue on a laptop/desktop circuitry.
    For example, MOSFETs. How can one tell if one is PNP or NPN? As for capacitors, how can I visually identify and come to the conclusion a certain capacitor is an ordinary one that a laptop doesn't need to power on or if that capacitor is part of a configuration? Stuff like that is where the details lie and I think your take on those topics could go a long way for beginners.
    (I'm sorry for long post)

  • @Pulverrostmannen
    @Pulverrostmannen 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I also teach in water terms when I need to :) what can be good to include later on is the correlation of how resistors handle power with their rating and operational voltage/Current, such as why you need less current to burn a high value resistor of same wattage but you need to increase the voltage to do so instead. as you in practice need higher voltage and less current to overload the resistor the higher value in ohms it has and that it is the total power dissipation that burns the resistor in the end :)
