    21 Capacitor videos later and now someone finally makes a video to explain the Damn thing in a logical way! Thank you for this !!!!

      You're very welcome :) make sure you are subscribed, I have another video coming out shortly about using capacitors for smoothing rectified voltages.

    Thank you for all the videos. I am from a mechanical background and i wasnt having a low level basics of electronics, i really appreciate the effort you take to make this as simple as possible.

    This was a very useful video, because it shows some uses of capacitors with the current flow clearly visualized! It makes a great complement to videos that delve more deeply into the mathematics.

    Great explanation, exactly what I needed. It's so hard to find someone who actually points the things out. I've heard that spoken about in different ways and none of them ever pointed anything out or helped me understand what was actually going on or that it was actually the capacitor and not something else doing that. Thank you!

    Hey man, it's me again. I've been a game developer for like 6 years now. I jumped into NodeMCU and the 8266 - and your channel is the only thing that teaches me everything I need to know to apply my code to the real world.
    Seriously, thanks again. So many IoT devices and robots incoming!!!

    I recently watched the seventh video in your Electronics Basics series about rectifiers and was pleasantly surprised to find that I understood the material. I then dove into your other videos, starting from number one on Electronics Basics. I've watched countless videos on electronic components, but until now, I haven't come across any that explain things in such an accessible way. Your videos are truly the best! Thank you for creating content that speaks to those of us who are just starting to learn about electronics. I've gone back and liked every video in your series, and I plan on doing the same with the rest. Needless to say, I've subscribed and am excited to continue learning from your channel. I hope your videos reach even more people like me who are trying to figure this stuff out!

    This was a very straight forward introduction to capacitors for someone like my self who has know previous knowledge. I’m studying for the C.A.S.T and S.K.A.T. exam and I’m trying to put together a a quick study guide via TH-cam. Thanks for the video!

  • @joegates8185
    @joegates8185 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I noticed you said that the capacitor you were using in the diagram was a “polarized Electrolytic.” I work on vintage radios and what I was taught is that when I encounter a “polarized “ cap, I am looking at a capacitor ( usually wax paper and foil) with a band around one end signifying this end is where the lead wire is on the very outside of the capacitor . The other end is at the inner most part of the capacitor.
    Electrolytics are usually found inside a aluminum can fastened to the chassis.
    Now let me express my gratitude for the work you put into this wonderful and educative experience! I was able to understand better what capacitors are used for! I’m looking forward to seeing other videos on your channel!!!
    Thanks!

    • @SimplyElectronicsOfficial
      @SimplyElectronicsOfficial  7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I learned from the internet entirely, and it wasn't easy! This is the motivation behind my channel, I am passionate about making it easier to learn from a very basic level, progressively taking people to a more advanced level over time without getting too far ahead too quickly. Thank You for your appreciation, comments like this only add to my motivation.

    @grjesus9979 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    To be honest the example is too obvious that anyone outside the field of electronics can understand. I think this is a good explanation for someone who is starting in electronics. There is much more things left to say about capacitors.
    Anyway good job on helping us see it more visually

  • @abriwin
    @abriwin 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very interesting, easy to understand, thanks for the effort. After many years of being interested I have finally got down to it, however two 'beginners kits' (how misleading) and one book later (supposedly for beginners and totally incomprehensible) I was almost ready to give up. So thanks again, a thumbs up and I have subscribed.

  • @rporticio

  • @ArcanePath360
    @ArcanePath360 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been watching videos for years learning electronics and decided to revisit the caps as I suspect one of my projects might need one, because the touch screen I added keeps developing a new white line across the screen when I turn it on after a long time of non-use. I suspect there is a power spike somewhere damaging sensitive electronics. You video finally explains how they work clearly so I can understand. I bought a new screen in case that is the fault of bad Chinese manufacturing and lastability, or my novice circuit building. Time will tell.
