The way you explained how it works I could easily swear you invented diodes. I respect your knowledge and appreciate your time on this. we need more people like you. Thank you, sir.
My dad tried to explain this stuff to me when I was about 13, I opted to go out and split firewood instead because I just couldn't wrap my mind around it. I've gained more electrical knowledge and the way you explain it, I actually understand it. Thank you.
My dad at 13 tried to explain this to me too. I was too busy banging supermodels & honking hoots. I now have the time for this as I've hooked enough hoots.
If the green dots are excess electrons and the black dots are holes, at the PN junction, free electrons move to fill in the holes, OK, but why does that create holes to the right and excess to the left? Intuitively I would imagine a neutral PN region, with holes filled with the excess. Is it because Phosphore becomes positive when an electron is taken away and Aluminium becomes negative when an electron is added? So the desire to reach overall stability with covalence is stronger than the charges of the individual P and Al atoms themselves?
I’m a Master Automotive Technician and really love this series! Technicians understand the use of diodes and how to test them but it’s really great to see their inner design and just exactly how they fully operate in different setups. As technicians we are fully able to diagnose good diodes from bad in circuits and other circuit problems. But this video gives you a much better visual understanding for seasoned electric workers and those who are just beginning to learn. Love this series of videos!
I took auto technology for a year in 2005 . We barely touch anything except series and parallel circuits. I didn't work in the field because the hiring folks said I was too old at 44. Now , almost 20 years later I am trying to install brake lines in my father 1996 corolla. After the sun beats down on me for 1 hour or so , it's tough. Waiting for rain to finish the job.
I am retired and took up electronics as a hobby. I never studied electronics in school, but always found it fascinating. This video is so easy to follow along with. Great job. Thanks.
Same here and I think the hobby has many more like us. Having the internet has made it access to info so easy makes you wonder how much better we would have done at school
Its easy to follow because its a basic introduction of one of the basic components. However its misleading as it dont adhere to the direction of current flow. Imho he should use the + to - flow and just mention that the electrons flow in the other direction. Or leave it out as it is irrelevant.
Using conventional flow does make diode and transistors extremely difficult to explain on atomic level. Electron flow makes it super easy to understand how these components work internally. I think he's doing it right this way.
I didn't like circuits it in school, because there was no in-depth explanation. Now I study electrical/computer engineering and these things are beautiful.
I've learned more from this channel than the 100s of physics classes in and after school. Never took electronics as a subject though. Keep it up. Thank you.
Same. I've learnt more about elctrocnics from watching these videos than i did in 10+ years of English literature and History courses to Uni and beyond!
My father is an electrical engineer and he gave me a book to read when i was 14 ... Little did I understand it.. Now i am 18 and i have done my 10 + 2 (science). Getting better by watching your vids
I don’t know exactly why TH-cam started recommending me your videos. But man does the algorithm know what it’s doing. I’ve been watching all of your videos about electric circuits on repeat, and I’m learning a ton. Very good videos, I will most definitely keep watching.
Wow this video series is just awesome! You can feel that you deeply understand the material and that you spent a considerable amount of effort on thinking about how to best teach it and visualize it. The last time I remember having such well-taught material was CS50 for computer science. Instant sub!
Best and detailed EXPLANATION ever I saw anywhere. I wish had you been my tutor. At 40yrs of my age having had around 20yrs of experience in the field of Electronics, I bet anyone else can better explain than this.... Thank you for your input!! Long live!!
Yup, you did it again... This has to be the most well explained and extremely clear animated video te be found about diodes on the internet. My hat is off to you Sir. Thaks for sharing your knowledge and making all of us smarter with every single video you make. Keep it up!
I love your channel. I'm 17 and looking to work as an electrician welder or in HVAC .these videos are put together really well and are very much appreciated
Thank for your videos, and sharing all your knowledge! People like me who jump around to different hobbies are always trying to learn something new! You have def taught me the most!
Sadly not sadly... I learned more about electrical engineering over one night compared to my university over 1 and a half year. Thank you for providing this level of quality for free
Bro seriosly i have been getting these lessons in school and i didn't understand anythin but now i understand how it all works thank you very very much
This channel has helped me a lot in my studies, it has a very good and detailed explanation of how things work and a big plus is that it's animated so it's easier to understand. I hope you'll continue to upload more vids to help others lke me. Thx from Italy :)
Maaaann, i'm stydying audio mixing, and now i was studying about Diode Bridge Compressors, and your explanation is AWESOME!!! Complete and direct! Congrats, bro!! Thanks by your channel!
As an electrician who studied electronics in college , I and Most of all my colleagues Never understood a damn thing about HOW diodes and Capacitor s actually worked or what their Function was. This was primarily due to a very Poor Instructor who taught way above our levels. Why I write this little blurb is for anyone who is a beginner to electronics This WELL done tutorial and Video keeps it simple Yet Provides a good understanding of what is actually happening in a circuit.
Great videos… Wish I had them back then in engineering school :) . Would have been perfect if you covered the differences between the regular, zener and Schottky diodes.
My name is billy and i love you guys , your voice is pleasant and i learn alot, even when i already know the topic of discussion, i ususally find something new to make it worth the watch, Im such a nerd, and i have no friends , this is awesome for ppl like me.
Very nicely explained. Still diode working is more complex. - Injection of holes & electrons - Diffusion and Drift of charge carriers - Recombination of holes and electrons
I truly enjoy watching your videos; you explain things so clear and effective that the new person without electronic background can understand and not get overwhelmed. Thank you so much for taking your valuable time to make these videos. Have a great day! Regards, JZ at "Radio Fixer"
That Voltage, Current graph at 8:10 is the most useful visual learning tool I've ever seen, and a tool I didn't even see once in my digital electronics class. This is the future of learning, not some variable in where a teacher that is even inadequate for the job has to be provided every year sapping our wallet in the form of taxes. But this right here, truely free education at the cost of the time of the teacher that is providing it, and they only provide once that it's there for a very long time.
I Admit that I learnt from your first 7 "Lectures" I would call more than the 3 years I spent in Electrical Engineering college in my country.. Because here they don't treat us like Students who are learning.. they treat us like we already know all the basics of electricity.. so thanks a lot for your hard work sharing your information and experience to us. and sorry if my English is not that good :D
Only people like you should be allowed to teach officially by our governments, really explained very well like the scientists would have thought back then but our teachers fail to explain us like this, hat's off to you for such wonderful animations and best teaching, gained a new sub! 💖
Great video. I really liked the quad diode part. It helped me understand one of my tools used to detect differences in metal thickness by voltage variations with an elctro magnet much better.
"The voltage source has to be > than the 0.7V barrier" ... In the diagram you have the voltage source as 0.5V. Did you mean to say 1.5V for the voltage source instead ??
Later in the video I show the valve opened on minimum of 0.5V but almost no current flows then, then I show the voltage drop of 0.7V which the power source needs to overcome
All of these electrical components have a functionally similar/identical water based variant. And they’re often mentioned as analogies, yet I’ve never heard of anyone making a circuit using water instead of electricity. Surely this would be a great tool to visually show how these components function instead of just theory. Could probably be made for under $40 with a few pieces of wood, some hot glue, acrylic, clear tubing, food coloring, a water supply, and like a day of work
This was fun understanding the principle behind. I had learnt this in my high school just for the sake of passing the exam. But today I searched and got this answer in a very cool manner. It was really easy to understand. Learning by heart and by pressure is really different.
This is phenomenal work here. Im just now beginning to truly understand thos stuff now. Your videos and explanations are great. Thanks for taking the time to be a good teacher. Its much needed. Cheers!
So useful , Animation are fabulous You teach soo perfectly . I am learning the basics from watching your videos 💗.I am 13 years old. You deserve lot of subscribers.Thank you so much for teaching us.
I watched this video after the Transistors one and I think it makes more sense to watch the Diode video first to understand the practicality of the P-Type/N-Type. Thanks for the great series!

Opting to chop firewood instead of the opportunity of bonding with your dad over technical electronics. Lol smh.
@@EvilSapphireRAt 13 it doesn't sound as appealing as you might think, trust me. A very similar thing happened to me so I can relate to what he said.
My dad at 13 tried to explain this to me too.
I was too busy banging supermodels & honking hoots.
I now have the time for this as I've hooked enough hoots.
I wish my dad would explain this kind of stuff.
Very well explained. Never really understood the pn junction before
Glad it helped you
@@frenlyfire It is where the p doped and n doped silcon meet in the diode
@@EngineeringMindset great explanation!!
