      Minute 9:12, does the position of the Resistor matter? I mean given the flow direction, should the resistor be between the input and the LED lamp, so it will slow doen the current before it reaches to the lamp, or does it not matter? When not, how and why? Maybe someone wll explain, thank you!

The higher the resistence the lower the current and the higher the voltage the higher the current's potential. It is a side effect basically of resistance and voltage.

    This is a really good video series. I have a degree in Electrical Engineering and found practical things in them I did not know or fully understand. I hate to nitpick, but there is one concept with which I must take exception. That is the depiction of current as physical electrons racing through the conductor at tremendous speeds. It is the electromagnetic wave propagation that moves at incredibly high speeds of approximately 0.9c. In fact, the electrons merely "drift" at about 1mm/sec. I have not watched all of your videos, so I apologize if you have made this distinction elsewhere. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

    Great video, but a few inaccuracies: E.g. "One Ampere is equal to one Coulomb" is an unfortunate way to put it - as Coulomb is charge, not current. It is claimed (in the same slide) that one Coulomb is equal to a certain number of electrons per second. No, that is current, not charge. This ought to be corrected, as is very basic and confusing for people who are learning electronics.
    An inverter converts DC to AC (4.04): The graphics is correct, but the commentary describes it as a rectifier, not an inverter.

    • @Felipe.N.Martins
      @Felipe.N.Martins 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is the case when you consider Power (P) to be constant. Because P = V * I, if you increase voltage V, current I needs to decrease (for the same amount of power. For example, a 60W lamp designed to work with 240V will require half of the current than a 60W lamp designed to work with 120V. But, keep in mind that for THE SAME lamp, if you increase the applied voltage, its current will also increase (you will get more power).

    • @kennethcohan9630
      @kennethcohan9630 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mohd Azmeer Well, that’s not strictly correct. From ohm’s law, increasing the voltage will increase the current and decreasing it will reduce the current and that’s the way to think about it. If it is a 120v circuit with a 60w lamp, increasing or decreasing the voltage will increase and decrease the current, just the same as the 240v circuit.
      However, for the same power, if the voltage is reduced then the current has to increase I = P/V
      A transformer is a good example of reducing or increasing the voltage. Say the voltage In is 240v in and 120v out. If the power in, equals the power out then
      P = Vin x In = Vout x Iout
      60 = 240 x 0.25 = 120 x 0.5
      So reducing the voltage, increases the current for the same power and increasing the voltage decreases the current for the same power.
      However, do not confuse this with ohm’s law.
      These are two completely separated circuits and ohm’s law will apply to both. Increase the voltage of Vin and In will increase. Increase the voltage of Vout and Iout will increase.
      Assume the transformer has a power factor of 1 and assume there are no losses.

    *summary:*
    - electrical current is just electrons moving along a wire
    - voltage drives an electrical current
    - DC is when electrons flow in the same direction
    - AC is when they alternate their direction
    - you can use an inverter to convert AC to DC
    - make a resistor the weak point in your circuit to prevent other parts from burning out (these are called fuses)

    • @Rexaurus

If I push too much current through my circuit, the LED will burn out, thus protecting the rest of my circuit. I don't really see what makes a fuse a fuse? Aren't they simply resistors internally?

      @Bomag 5 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Hi, he will have used Ohm's law. If you are not familiar with that law, it basically states the relationship between the current flowing between to points and the voltage across them. In short, the voltage across two points 'V' is equal to the product of the current 'I' and the resistance 'R' - so V = IR in short. It's worth memorising this if you can as you will use it all the time.
      In his example, the LED is rated at 25mA and has a forward voltage of 3.3v. If you are unfamiliar with that, just consider it the amount of voltage "used" by the LED to be in the "on" state. This leaves us with 5.7V of extra voltage to drop, as the battery is a 9V cell. So to compute how much resistance is required to limit the current to 25mA, we can just re-arrange the law in the form R = V/I, where V is our voltage (5.7V) and I is our current (25mA, so 0.025A). If you calculate this value you will get a resistance of 228 ohms, as the minimum resistance required.
      If you are wondering why the video man selected 270ohms, it is likely because it's the closest standard resistor size to 228 without going to anything smaller. You normally want to play it safe like this because resistors are only guarenteed to be within a certain tolerance of their stated value.
      I hope that helps.

      A typical LED is lighting normally at 20mA for for a 5V supply, the limiting resistor is found by dividing 5000 mV by 20 mA giving 250 ohms. So a 270 ohm resistor will do just fine. Using a lower resistance the LED might be too bright and even burn out, a higher resistor gives a dimmer light.

    Thanks a lot for this video!!! People have been wanting to figure out how to get more voltage out of a solar cell or battery. Well that can't actually be done, but we can make them appear like they are providing more voltage using a current amplifier added. It is similar to how capacitors appear to pass AC electricity, but actually they don't. I drew two schematic diagrams and will get back to you on this idea of mine after testing it. If successful, a 6 volt battery will do what a 12 volt battery can do! 💯💰🙏

    • @SuperPutzPutz
      @SuperPutzPutz 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      My experiment was a success saving as much as 61.9% current when applying 7.53 volts (from a variable DC Power Supply) to a 12 volt DC automotive bulb. Capacitance maximum value changes each time the input voltage changes and also maybe the total impedance of the load device connected to the input source.

    Great video series! One question thought, you mention that you can change the spot you connect the multimeter and still get the same amp reading. Now I'm wondering, don't the cables need to be switched around for this? The black cable is the negative, red positive, right? So when the multimeter is connected at the top, it is connected in this order, but when its moved down, the red comes first, connecting the positive cable to the negative side of the battery, and black to positive, which would be wrong? or am I missing something? 6:38 onwards is where this occurs
