    You said 'the colour band is grey' but highlighted the green band on the table. I think it would be better if you put a caption for correction because I see many people bewildered by the contents of the video. Other than that, pretty well explained. Great job

    You should include the voltage drop across the LED when calculating the resistance required to produce 30mA. Typically, red LEDs operate at 2V. So the calculation should be (9V - 2V)/0.03 = 230 ohms. However, with 300 ohms, the current will be 23mA, which is better than 30mA, because you should never operate any device at its rated maximum.

    The LED part is inaccurate, since you didn't take into account the voltage drop on the LED. A 3mm red LED has about 1.7V drop across it, so the drop on the resistor is about 7.3V. The correct equation is R=7.3V/30mA, so R=243.333Ω

    Great video; however, I see two mistakes right away. 1st one is the LED itself, its hooked up backwards, shorter leg is usually/normally always negative. The 2nd mistake is that he chose the wrong value of the resistor's Multiplier, even though he did say the right one (he chose green instead of gray).

I need someone with knowledge to review my project contents and recommend missing/needed resistors, etc to complete my project to fully function able in all areas. Can I resource you? I have a handicap that limits the way/method I obtain knowledge. Hence the “first” time, I need guidance/ assistance.
      I am determined not only to complete this project… but obtain. Skills to complete a total of 250 projects on my own….later on.

    Yes, when you connect two or more resistors in series in a ckt, (i.e R1 & next to it, R2, R3), each resistor values (ohms) "R" are added, as to find Equivalent Resistance Requ= R1+2+R3, while calculating the current flow I=V/(R1+R2+R3)=V/Requ. The reason is , the voltage potential at the first resistor arriving at the resistor R1 is taken as Voltage for calculating current flow on each resistors in series. Hence, the current flows on all the resistors will be the same, but with drop in voltage.

    • @bobgatewood5277
      @bobgatewood5277 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No I don't think that is correct.
      By ohm's law: V=(A)(R)
      The higher the resistance, if the amperage stayed the same, voltage would also rise proportionally; obviously, that is NOT what happens, resistors do not add voltage.
      If the voltage stays the same (given a potential differential = X from a given source like a battery) and if we change the value of the resistor, then what must change is the current to make the numbers add up:
      V=10 R=10 , 100 , 1000 A=X
      1. 10=(x)(10) A=1
      2. 10=(x)(100) A=0.1
      3. 10=(x)(1000) A=0.01
      The higher the resistance = the LOWER THE CURRENT.

    if you take the example of a hydraulic pipe then when the flow of the water is resisted hence creating pressure and the same happens with resistors then shouldn't the voltage shoot up in relation with the flow of electrons? just like when you press the tube of a vinyl pipe when water is flowing through it?

    I answer to your 2nd query first, Ampmeter is connected series to resistor for measuring the current being passed by resistor.When we say 2A is going through,i.e I=V/R, it's current Amp value = voltage drop (Vs-Vf)/Ohms measurement.Vs=voltage source(may be 9v or 12v),Vf=forward voltage (the volume going to be allowed to consume by device/simply say device rating voltage).This 2A current is allowed by the resistor.Now, for your 1st query, resistor is not controlling the speed of electrons.

    This is amazing. I have a question though. why does a resistor have to be on the positive lead?
    I understand that the assumption of the current direction ( from +ve to -ve ) was a mistake bcuz scientists when they were first working with electricity, they didn't know about the structure of an atom. Shouldn't we adopt the correct direction then to prevent the LED from burning out? which is from -ve to +ve?

  • @noumman

    Hi, when a current enters the resistor does it decrease the amount of electrons and we get
    less electrons comes out of resistor (at the other end) OR it (resistor) decreases the speed
    of electrons and we get slower electrons coming out from the other end of the resistor?
    Also when we say that 2A is going through resister R , does that mean before entering the resister or after the resister?

    The analogy with water flow was incorrect. Making the tube more narrow will not reduce the current, but speed it up in that area. And the current will return back to what it was when the diameter of the tube returns back to its original value. Also, the pressure on the left is the same as on the right. It's the pressure in the middle that is reduced. You would be better off using a water wheel to represent the resistor. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

    • @blinddirector
      @blinddirector 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Go to the hardware store. Buy two feet of PVC pipe with a 4 inch diameter, and two end caps. Drill a 3 inch hole in one of the end caps, and an eighth-inch hole in the other. Put the cap with the 3 inch hole on the pipe. Orient the pipe perpendicular to the ground, cover the hole, and fill the pipe with water. Use a clock, and record the amount of time it takes for the pipe to drain. Repeat with the 1/8" inch cap. Voltage in this case is supplied by the earth's mass. Gravity acts on all of the water at the same time and "wants" it to get through that pipe. The voltage therefore never changes, but the flow will. If you do this experiment, you will see that decreasing the size of the hole increases resistance of flow, resulting in less volume exiting the pipe in a given second. All a water pressure regulator does is change the size of a hole (or diaphragm) based on some input. The flow of water is a great analogy when it comes to explaining the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.

    • @ashonrandall4840
      @ashonrandall4840 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      vegasbryan I hear what you’re saying, and you’re not exactly wrong, but your example isn’t analogous to the situation at hand. Filling pipes with water and letting it fall out of holes of different diameters doesn’t include a constant mass flow rate as an example with connected pipes does.
      The amount of water going into a section of a pipe is the same as the amount of water coming out. Therefore if the section’s diameter were reduced, the water would have to flow faster (increased current) in order to keep a consistent mass flow rate. Even with a consistent push (voltage). Think of it like this. If you put a nozzle on a water hose, the water coming out will be moving faster than the water moving through the hose because it has to keep a constant mass flow rate with decreased volume. This isn’t the case with a circuit, which is why using a smaller diameter valve to represent a resistor isn’t accurate. A resistor is supposed to slow the current, not speed it up. This is why most lessons will use a water wheel to represent a resistor when using water flow to represent a circuit. A water wheel causes resistance, slowing the current and transferring the kinetic energy of the water to rotational kinetic energy of the wheel. In the same way, a resistor slows current and creates heat.

      Wouldn't it be better though to say that in the case of a resistor, if we're talking about an analogy to electrical flow...that it would be the equivalent of making very small precise holes. Resistance is basically the amount of the electricity flowing through a conductor that's lost to heat, right? So it can't do useful work...Wouldn't that be equivalent in springing leaks in the pipe so simply not as much water reaches the destination (load)?

    • @DorianMcIntire
      @DorianMcIntire 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A resistor limits current in an electric circuit much like a partially closed valve limits mass flow in a hydraulic system. A redistribution of pressure occurs and more pressure drops across the valve to sustain a lower mass flow rate. When this occurs less pressure is available across the existing hose or pipe to maintain the previous water flow.
      A similar thing happens in an electric circuit, most of the voltage drops across the resistor (partially closed valve) to maintain a now lower electrical current. Less voltage is then available across the existing conductors to maintain the previous electron flow (current). Electrons actually do move faster in the resistor then they do in the conductor material since the resistance in the conductors is so low that they act like huge diameter pipes. The increased electron velocity creates a large transfer of energy into the resistor in the form of thermal energy (heat) and the resistor gets warmer in the process.
      You are right that the mass flow in a hydraulic system is the same everywhere in the system whether the water is moving quickly in a small diameter pipe or slowly in a large diameter pipe but fact remains that the mass flow rate is changed by a restriction in the system. A new, lower, mass flow rate is created by a restriction and the restriction requires a redistribution of system pressure to maintain the new lower mass flow rate.

    @flugschulerfluglehrer7139 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Common mistake. In the tube of water is no pressure drop! Venturi taught us, that the pressure is lower in the narrow part of the tube, due to higher flow speed and equal before and after the narrow part of the tube. A liquid can not be compressed nor expanded! If you want a pressure drop in the tube, you have to take out energy out of the flow eg by a turbine.

    • @stephe.222
      @stephe.222 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      A constriction of the pipe will cause an increase in pressure. That's how our circulatory system works. If you reduce diameter you increase pressure. As an artery or vein constricts, there is a consequent increase in blood pressure.

    • @flugschulerfluglehrer7139
      @flugschulerfluglehrer7139 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Steph E. Hi Steph. You are mixing up things. Our vascular system contracts as a whole. Therefore the volume of the whole system decreases thus the pressure in the contained liquid increases (p=m/V). But in a pipe where a liqud flows we have partial pressures. In the narrowed section of a pipe the speed of the liquid is higher as in the neighbouring wider parts. The partial pressure in this section is therefor lower. For in depth info look up "Venturi" and "Bernoulli".

    • @Eren-yl2qi
      @Eren-yl2qi 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      According to formula , when you use Voltage , you must use Amper as a unit.So there is a conversion between milliampere to Ampere then 30mA makes 0.03 Ampere.Actually they are the same value.

    man, I do really appreciate your hard work but this could lead to a huge misunderstanding to mostly everyone out there!
    -according to the colors of the resistor you used in the very last scene, the resistor is: [R=2.6G] ohms (red is 2, blue is 6 and gray is 100M), so it's 2600M which is 2.6G.
    -and according to the colors you mentioned (red, blue and green), the resistor should be [R= 2.6M] ohms
    please correct this mistake man, because I myself got confused when you said green and I saw gray.
    Im a biomedical engineer.
    thanks

  • @Str3ss3dpo3t654

    Ok, so I know this might be a noob question, but what do I put I front of an LED if I want a short delay after I switch the circuit on? If you want to know why I'm asking, it's because I'm soldering some LEDs to my xbox controller and I want to have a delay for each of them when the rumble activates. I am using 6 LEDs, 3 on each side of the clear front trim (what I mean is after 1 second 1 led lights then after 2 seconds 2 LEDs light and after 3 secs all 3 (on each side) light up). It would be amazing for a reply. Thanks!

    • @HugThePolice
      @HugThePolice 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      In physics, for stupid reasons, you have conventional flow, which is the flow of positive charges towards a negative charge, and electron flow, which is negative to positive.
      When talking about current, you say that it moves from positive to negative. When talking about electrons, you say negative to positive.

The sentence was, B B R O Y Great Briton Very Good Wife. All the capitol letter representing the colours B for Black, B= Brown, R for Red, Great= Green, Very = Violet, Good= Green, Wife= White. Ha ha how funny were those days.

  • @ShengTheCraftsman

    Does resistor delays power consumption? i had a case of smoke generator that i mdel a coil out of vape wire and a 5v fan and the power was 7.5volt 1000mah rechargeable battery, it runs for roughly 8 -10 minute and the power will ran out, one of the biggest reason i'm thinking on adding a resistor was i hope it would slow down the flow of the current but does this actually means same amount of power would still be wasted ? and that protects the fans and the heater wire coil from burn out?, i'm working on my second homemade smoke generator for my RC(remote control) tiger 1 1:16 , but this time the boiling chamber was much more compact and smaller which made the smoke liquid runs out even faster and the coil would caught lit up with fire and later extinguish itself when the oxygen in the bottle was used up, i still had a lot of adjustment to do with this smoke generator , improved until it was much more feasible to use than conventional aftermarket smoke generator.

  • @warre50
    @warre50 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    mhh at 2:43 are some mistakes the first mistake is that you are connecting the positive lead to the cathode.. (negative end) so i practice and theory the led wont work because afterall its a diode which has his polarity. ( a diode lets the electrons flow in one direction so it won't work. the long lead is always the anode (+) and the short one the cathode (-), second an led has an forward voltage(Vf) its means that it needs an certain voltage(depends on colour but im gonna take 3V as an example to work you need to keep that in mind so instead of 9/0.03 its (9-3) its 6/0.03

What resistor do I need for this one (what color schematic)? Anyone knows? Because I'm not that experienced reducing voltage and want to turn everything on and off with just one switch.

    So does the resistor change its Ohms if connected to something else ? Like, using that same as in the LED example, with another 45mA LED, will that same resistor switch to 200 Om ?
    Or is that value a constant depending on what ? The material that resistor is built with ?
    Can that same transistor be used for some high voltage stuff like city electrical connections with 1.000.000 V ? If no why not ?
