I absolutely love his videos, and this is well done, but he does it a bit differently then what we are being taught, and I do not like it as much, we do it so at each node that we are looking at, we assume current is flowing away in all directions, even though it may be obvious that it isn't right because its more important to stay consistent, and everything should work out in the end.
Sweet mother of god , I can't believe myself , I understood circuits for the first time in my life , two years of hearing teacher's bullshits and understand nothing , but you , you saved my life man , a one big thumb up for your video
I'm a computer science undergrad, learning electrical engineering (for a eee course), from an organic chemistry tutor and nothing could possibly go wrong! btw badass no-nonsense tutorial.

Shout-out to The Organic Chem Tutor for getting my ass on the right track to work at a FAANG 🫡
your teaching was so good that i thought i had to give back something....so i didn't skip a single ad for ya. Keep teaching bro, you're making it easier for many students out here, keep it up👍
Lmao this would have helped me about 4 weeks ago before my final. On another note you saved my precalc grade with your final review and I can't thank you enough. You are a God among men!!
Rather than going through all the trouble of trying to guess the correct direction of current in a node branch, just pick one. If the current goes the other way, it'll just give you a negative value. Flip the sign, flip the arrow.
i just tried what you said and it was way easier and quicker! but im more prone to making mistakes this way compared to his method so pick and choose i guess
He is the teacher of course he knows we can pick any direction but breaking it down like split the circuit in half is really cool way to analyze which side has more potential.
@@jealouseggs5619 i knew before hand current likes to travel through least resistance so when i saw the parralel circuit i seperate it into a series circuit and added the ohms up in series and knew the current would flow towards the smaller ohm's direction
I'm an environmental science student and I'm lucky that I have found this channel. Whether I am studying math, chemistry, and physics, this guy is always there to teach me. Thank you
You do not have to try and find out the direction of current. You can make up your own direction from the get go as long as you are consistent. In KVL you choose counterclockwise or clockwise for all loops and remain consistent. In KCL you choose all currents to leave a node or all currents to go into a node and you will get the right answer. Think of it like scaling an equation by a constant of -1 depending on which convention you choose. You will get the same value when solving. Trying to find the direction of every current is inefficient and will lead to errors if you are not careful. After you find the node voltages you can find any current for any given direction with simple Ohms law.This video was more standard KCL than node voltage. Node voltage is supposed to make KCL even easier by choosing one defined direction. You are less likely to miss signs doing it this way.
17:18. He added the resistors in Vc in series to find the current of the whole sub-circuit, that enabled him to find Vc. In the first sub-circuit the current is already known, so finding Vb was easier.
I have a test tomorrow on mesh analysis, nodal analysis, super nodes and super mesh. After watching your videos, I went from “no way I will pass this test” to “this stuff is easy” thank you so much for helping!
at 14:00, you can do it either way, if you get a negative current for R3 then that will mean it goes the other way from what you chose. Still so amazing and useful going in-depth
You are seriously the best teacher in the world. You saved my ass last year with chemistry and now you are saving my ass again with Electric Circuits. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
WELL DONE!!!! THANK YOU, FOR A REALLY CONCISE TUTORIAL!!! I NEED TO REVIEW THIS STUFF, AND, WILL WATCH IT AGAIN, TO TRY TO GRASP YOUR "STYLE", BUT, IT SURE IS NICE TO SEE SUCH A COMPETENT APPROACH TO THIS POTENTIALLY CONFUSING PROBLEM!
Some College professor and school teacher should watch this channel's video , that how to give understanding to students . Really 'Organic Chemistry Tutor' you are genius .
THANK YOU SOO MUCH. This was really helpful. Now I understand it. Ive learned more from this 30 minute video than an hour lecture on this. ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU :)
Looking at the most viewed section gives you a great idea of where the hardest part or the confusing bit is and really helps focus my attention in the run up to that
Thanks for the examples and clear step-by-step explanation. Enough examples like this and my brain WILL begin to understand it. This is why the key to really learning is working lots of examples.
Fantastic video, you Sir have a great voice that is both soothing and clear to understand, your method of teaching is brilliant and the video was overall nicely structured, thumbs up
Correct me if am wrong , I attempted it before looking at you approach(17:00), I used the understanding that current will always flow through an easier path which means current from R5 would rather take R4 path than that of R3 as R4 has less resistance than R3 so R3 most there fore be coming from 8amps.
I am repeating this course I hope I will pass with the help of yours this time. I will search for this comment to reply it with the result a month later
Thank you .. Thank you .. Thank you .. You are the one who deserve any income from TH-cam. And I'm gonna support this by subscribing your channel and liking your video. Go ahead give us more don't stop. The way you stop for few seconds during your explaination gives my brain time to analyse, not like some other lecturers they talk continuasly until my brain is blown up. Best regards hero
Congrats, really detailed explanation, you can skip the voltage guessing calculation for Vc and Vb, by assuming a direction, at the end, just change the sign, hope that can help.
Been working through Hayt's Engineering circuit analysis on my own and this channel is extremely crucial to getting through all the problems in the book. Thank u!
Attention! For anyone watching this video, there is a better way to solve this type of problems without needing to make so many assumptions, the trick is to treat all currents as if these are going into the node even when the signs tells you otherwise, by assuming all currents to go into the node you'll get the same answer regardless I've tested it and it works 100% of the time. My current professor tought me this technique and instead of substituting you can also use cramers rule which makes this type of problems 60% easier than they seem. Trust me it saves a lot of time.
he explained something my teacher couldn't explain so well. The Organic Chemistry Tutor is fucking amazing! Without him, I don't think I would be able to pass this course or electrical engineering without his help. Thank you so much for saving my sorry ass!!
I think it's a good way to solve it by separating the circuits so you can see the direction of current flow. For me I wondered about if any current flowed from the 50 V battery through R1 so calculated the voltage from the 8 A source after combining the R1 and R2 in series to see the voltage of the 8 A source so I could see that source was higher voltage than the 50 V battery. An approximation; I know but it helped me to see which way the current flowed.
13:57 , I appreciate your method to decide whether Vb is greater or Vc. But I don't think we will get a wrong answer if we just assume one direction of current through BC, i.e. red or blue. If we assume the wrong direction suppose, from C to B, in writing the KCL at node B, (19:16), we will do i1-i2+i3=0, (instead of i1-i2-i3) and i3=(Vc-Vb)/5, (instead of (Vb-Vc)/5) which ultimately will adjust the sign and we will get the correct equation. Correct me if I am wrong somewhere. Thankyou!
Tip: To avoid confusion.. Actually you can assign anywhere the direction of current is, like in I3, in the final answer it will go negative, then it means it's go other way..
omg thank you so much for this! i have an elec midterm in 3 days and i was struggling sm with understanding nodal analysis. you explained it really clearly. thank you :)
All i can say after learning the tactics used in solving such complex circuit problem solving...Wow! Magic!.....It’s how you to analyze and what methods to be use and apply. The more I understand, the more im scared hahaha... too many “what if” now inside my head. What if one of the resistors is not given? What if the given 8 amperes is transfer to the other place, like below resistor-2, is it possible? If possible, what whould it like be or how to begin a solution? This are some of what insides my mind. Well, I think I should practice more and learn how to understand problems before i begin.
Thanks scholar. you're such a skillful person . I have been ur student for almost all of my prerequisites engineering courses from calculus to physics. it's from your videos that i was able to make some self analyzed shortcuts methods just from your explanation. could you please do some videos on laplace transformations and integral functions... iam sure your followers will increase more by offering these courses. thanks brother.
I usually take the "equivalent circuit" method to find out any node voltage. Take the first example, if you like to know Va, just find out the equivalent circuit the R2 seeing (looking out through the upper arm of resistor R2:-), i.e. a voltage source Ve serial with a resistor Re, shown as below: --Re-- -- |

That's good analogy
Yes if in R3 we use the reversed direction, it will give -2, which means we have used the wrong direction. then change it
some peoples like you are rare

To find Vb in the first one, you could just work out 5=vb-va/6 which you get from KCL on node Vb. I guess its kinda the same thing
bro, u saved my life
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
At 16:40: Why do you calculate Va using only the 5 ohm resistor, while for Vb you use both the resistors?
Thank you for the lessons! Can I humbly ask you sir to say “now” less frequent in future videos?
