He made a mistake for the calculation for the parallel circuit.
It's actually 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.5 which eqauls 0.75.
Then you do 1 / 0.75 which gives you 1.3
Lol I was wondering why I didn't understand the parallel circuit answer.
I was confused too. I know the numbers did not look correct.?
Isn't that why the answer he wrote was "
@@marclink0 He had the wrong chart up. The chart he showed was simply to show that when resistors of mixed values are connected in parallel, the total resistance will always be lower than the lowest component.
Thanks!
I found the music to be nice. It added to the mysteriousness since none of us know what we're doing and we're all investigating the solutions.
I found this song in milfy city game ..
Thank you! You taught me in six minutes what I 've had trouble understanding for weeks in my classroom. Keep up the great work!
That's the trouble with school, you get taught the same way regardless of what interests you have or what you want to do in later life.
i hope you forgot this unit
Hi! How are you 5 years later? :)
I didnt mind the background music. I was too focused on how informational and well said it was. Good work
Yeah my college instructor isnt the best and he is so monotone so im just using shorter better explained youtube videos
adhd doesnt help
The information is valuable but the background music in this video is too loud and unnecessary. The video would have been better without background music at all.

@@da324 Terrible language
Thanks for this. I been an electrician for only 4 years, NEVER had to calculate this stuff, but now that I am about to take my J-man test, I HAVE to know this. You made it very easy to understand, thank you!
jarry Dee that’s why union is superior
Hi
Hello Mr jarry
Boulder the World The Union is great for people that can’t think for themselves. Kind of like liberalism.
I studied for and passed the MECP first class test, and what was needed to pass that test I've literally never used.
What I learned from the comments: no one likes background music.
nah I loved it
too loud and unrelated to the content
Reminds me of some game...
Music.. Why? and if you really 'do' need music.. turn it down below the volume of the narrator.. sorry i gave up on it. Wasted opportunity
yup, no background tunes
I took 2 years of college physics and still couldn't understand this topic until now. Thanks!!
Damn. That kitchen example really helped me understand. Thanks!
Now I know why my electric bill is so high. I need to rewire my whole kitchen in series !
@@Hapax007 😨 no! Don't do that... If u do that and one element goes out, everything will go out
@@james77011 I thought the wires are ran in a series but each appliance has internal components that bypass the circuit allowing it to be turned off without interruption to circuit
@@jurnagin only in a parallel circuit can one appliance (the load) go out and still have a path for current to flow to the other appliances ( loads)
If it was a series circuit and one load goes out, than all of them will go out
@@Hapax007 1🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
in your scientific calc- 1/(1/8+1/8+1/2)= 1.3^
He must have accidentally added 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.25 to get 1/0.5 = 2, I made that mistake in my head when breaking down 1/2 into 1/4 and 1/8, and recalculated my answer to figure out the same. Oops lol.
I knew it was wrong. I was like how the fuck did he get 2 there?
Ikr, i got so confused.
Seriously wtf when in doubt read the fucking comments
I was like WAIT!!!
1/8+1/8+4/8=6/8
And 8÷6 is not 2
I'm gonna just find another video 😂
Music is annoying 😖
😂
😂😂😂
I can’t focus on anything else. Good info but I’ll try to get some more info elsewhere.
Thanks, I appreciate your simple to understand style and graphics, I was totally jamming out to this music too good stuff keep it up brother
Using this as last minute studying for an AP test
What grade are you in?
Sameee
Lol samee
@@Omar-wu3nb well I was a senior in high school when I made this comment. 2nd Year 1st Semester off college now.
@@piepienate what do you study?
Thank you for a great introduction into series and parallel circuits.
For the longest time I have had the hardest time understanding this for a speaker application, and no matter who explained it to me I just could never 100% understand (10-20 yrs) I couldn't figure out what 1 little piece of info I was missing. Looking at from a speaker point makes it hard to learn and what this video did was make me realize that parallel is the one I'm having a problem with. I have noticed under many of these video is that people leaving still still confused and I think I just figured out how to explain it, hopefully through writing.
When you showed the 1 single yellow charge going through the parallel circuit 1 resistor at a time, It throws off what is happening. What I never understood was why in parallel does the resistance go down, that made no sense to me. It's not that the resistance goes down, but that the power output from each individual resistor get added together, making the current added together, seem like there was less resistance.
12v@8ohm + 12v@8ohms, both of those powers added together is like having 12v@4ohms + 12v@4ohm, add those powers together and it's like 12v@2ohm.
The resistance does NOT go down, it's just that when you add the powers from each resistor together, you get enough power to make it seem like the resistance has gone down.
People that do know all about this, does what I said make sense, did I finally figure it out?
As I keep rereading that, yes I guess you can say the resistance goes down, I see where that statement fits, but I think for the hard to understand people, explaining it in the way of the powers being added together, not that the resistance goes down, would help
A 1/4" hose + 1/4" hose + 1/4" hose all taped together does not have les resistant, it's just that the gallons per minute added together makes it seems like you have less resistance, therefore; more flow per minute.
I don't know if that makes sense but my math matches everyone eles math now, so I'm pretty happy.
You should have been my high school teacher. I might have understood it more easily back then. Great explanation, very clear. Thanks!
This is excellent...in physics 2 lab now and we haven't even been taught circuits at all (still on electric fields and force) in lecture...saved my life and grade!
Best video to watch to get a basic knowledge on the characteristics and differences of series and parallel circuits.
My final is due tomorrow and this video helped me out on a question haha thank you so much
That shirt is ironically appropriate. Excellent video!
Thanks!
Wasn’t focused on the music because this explanation was seriously so awesome! Thanks, dude!

thank you, your video was the one I was looking for. now i know what to do with my lights :)
Thank you so much tommorow is my science Exam
I choose voltage over current.
Reducing the need for heavier gauge wires, reducing voltage drops and increased arc stability (for MOTs and custom arc welders; oil cooling recommended). Possibly increasing charge as well.
Store bought welders can only be connected or wired in parallel which increases current. That will make you pay the power company more, drain more energy and make very noticeable voltage drops for your neighbors. At least you'll be able to cut metal with electrodes or get DC electrodes working on AC.
Side effects of excess current may include a very erratic arc.
Nice explanation, especially with those visuals.
I had a great 5 minutes, I understood everything and I jammed on the music
Yay!
Excellent series and parallel cct information
remove the music next time. thanks
Best thing I have ever learn in so easy way
U literally saved my life, useful and understandable 100% spectacular wish u are my science teacher. Basmalah Adil, 13 years, sudan. My greetings 🌸
Literally saved your life? Miracle cure perhaps?
The music in the background is annoying. You have very interesting and important information to share, music is a huge distraction! However, great job on the diagrams and the detailed explanations!
Very helpful and straight to the point but the alien soundtrack was not necessary
I’m no expert, and i didn’t learn what I wanted to know about parallel circuits here but I don’t think your explanation about “if you removed one of the lightbulbs in the series circuit none of the others would work” was all that clear. I think what you are saying is only true if removing one of the lightbulbs OPENS the circuit, in which case it is the opening of the circuit that makes the other lightbulbs not work NOT removing the third bulb. If you replaced that third lghtbulb with another resistor or any conductive wire, the other light bulbs would work just fine, (though it would change the amount of current going through the other two, if the third bulb was replaced with an element of different resistance. It may sound nitpicky of me, but to simply state that if the third bulb is removed the other two won’t work and NOT being clear that it is actually opening the circuit that is making the other two bulbs not work, it just tells me that you don’t explain tnings clearly, which probably means that when it comes time for you to teach me something new, it will be done in an unclear way. That is my biggest pet peeves about trying to learn these things on youtube. My actual course is unclear on things many times, and it’s an online course, so its not always easy to contact the instructor. Sometimes I just go to youtube, to try to find a clearer explanation on something. (Really i was just trying to understand why voltages are the same across parallel circuits, at a physical level.) But it’s always so hard to find clear straightforward explanations. For example, saying that removing a third light bulb means the other two won’t work, is NOT clear and straightforward. Opening the circuit is what makes the other two bulbs not work, NOT removing the third bulb. I would love to find a youTube channel that is very good at straightforward explanations about circuits.
Came to learn about circuits, stayed to jam out to the music
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO music kept me from getting bored and it was fantastic
Thank you for clearing up my confusion !!
thx some much man thank god you exist
Your example of using a home is actually pretty much wrong, at least in the United States. US homes contain a mixture of parallel and series circuitry.
Agreed. Let’s call it a simplified example.
Nice. I miss doing fun math. Now I'm stuck adding up bills, increasing inversely to my income. Thanks Joe B

I live in a van so I wasn't sure about the kitchen analogy, but I get what he's saying
Thank you! Nice and simply put~ easy to understand
Glad you think so!
nice. now i have a basic idea how to wire my car lights
Glad I could help
your "kitchen" analogy was very helpful in explaining it! ...now if I could find a Christmas Light set that TRULY stayed lit when one bulb goes out!
They're everywhere. They are LED's connected in parallel. Go to Home Depot.
This video helped a lot thank you for making it!
learning even more from these comments lol
Thanks that cleared my all concepts❤
Thanks man Helped me out
How did you get 2 ohms as the total for parallel? I used the formula but only got 1.33
I can't believe i just understood what I was meant to learn in an hour lecture in 6 minutes 0-0
If the reciprocal of (1/8)+(1/8)+(1/2) = < 2 ohms, are you rounding 1.33 up to 2? 1/0.75 = 1.33, no? Or am I missing something. I'm taking General physics part 2. Just making sure I'm understanding. Thank you!
+DJ Redmond, I got the same answer as you, did I miss something :/
+Kathryn Emery , curios if you had figure out the >2ohms, I got 1.33 ?
he just said less than 2 (
Can you help me please, 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/2 = 0.5703 how do you get 1.33? Thanks John.... :)
1/8 + 1/8 + 1/2 => 1/8 + 1/8 + 4/8 = 6/8 or 0.75
1/(6/8) = 1.33
if you're typing fractions into the calculator you must use parentheses or the calculator will sabotage you
The charges flow from the positive pole to the negative pole , but in the figures the charges flew differently!!!!!
Please pay attention guys!

He looks fine guys chill
Ratna Banerjee holy shi soooo tru
You had me until you randomly switched from light bulbs to “resistors” in the circuit without explaining what a resistor is. I sense another TH-cam rabbit home in my near future.
Thanks for your help sir.
THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION
Great video wow nice
Thanks though but the music didn't permit me to understand what u were saying . So plz avoid........... Thanks
Thanks for the great video
Excellent explanation but it will be better if you don't use background music but better concentration
This guy should be made listen to his vids.
I have a series circuit with 12 bulbs in series. Each bulb has 10.5 ohms resistance. Rt 126 total resistance.
I am trying to select a power supply. I can do a 6v or 12v supply. There are multiple amperage options.
If I do 6v makes total current 6.85 amp
If I add 100ohm resistor before each bulb makes total amps 0.65.
this video helped me not fail science
30bulbs in series and 29 bulbs in series which will grow bright?
Thanks! Gonna use this example for my reporting in class
makes so much more sense now. going to help my exam a lot
i think our christmas lights had series circut because one of the bulbs burnt out and we had to throw the entire strand away :/
hi am just asking a simple question What did you observe when LED 2 is removed from the series circuit pls Explain this
observation
When you have hey Siri on and you try to say series circuit and Siri automatically turns on thinking you said Siri
Question.. current takes path of least resistance?? So wouldn’t your parallel example go through 2 ohm resistor first?
It may but it will still go through the other resistors as well. The electricity is traveling near the speed of light so it does not matter which it goes through first in these examples.
I think you're right. His illustration of electricity flowing made no sense. The electricity would go through the lowest resistance first but also go through the higher resistance at a slower speed. The way he illustrated it made it seem like the electricity only goes through one resistor on each pass through the circuit.
okay, i didn't like how he had the current flowing in the parallel circuit... he had the current flowing through the first resistor,skip the second resistor and right to the thrid resistor.. not correct. the current would have branched off at each junction.
Yup. That animation for a parallel circuit was incorrect.
but he said it was a single charge (= one electron). One single electron wouldn’t split up. Am I missing something here?
On a dual 1 ohm subwoofer is better to series then parallel or parallel then series to get a final load of 1 ohm?
math is wrong, unless your rounding up....but why would you round up to 2 if the answer is 1.33. incomplete explanation.
a good content video made a lot less valuable due to background music. Why do that? Sure, some people can read a book while music is playing, but many people find it very distracting and anti-productive. I mean...this is supposed to be an instructional video, right?
Explanation appricated more🙏❤️
Thanks a lot, mate, my biology teacher isn't really good at teaching physics huh...
I did R=1/8 +1/8 + 1/2...BUT i GOT R = 0.75 ????
Rob Brenton the answer you got was 1/R total. You have to ‘reciprocalise’ this number in order to get the total resistance on its own. So the answer is 1/0.75=1.33333
I thought that the current (amps) never decreases in a circuit. It’s the voltage that decreases with each resister in a series. There is always zero volts at the return, if wired correctly, but the current flow remains the same. (Kirchhoff’s Law)
Here am I trying to figure out this ohms law for my audio speakers and finally I found it!!! Great explanation It reminds me of the damn Christmas lights... you know what I'm talking about for those of you...
very well explained - thanks
i dont get the explanation for the calculating the total resistance in a parallel circuit
When adding the resistance of a circuit in series, you simply add the resistances. When doing so in parallel you add them 1/R1 + 1/R2 ..etc. you simply put the resistor amount in the formula as stated above instead of adding them straight R1 + R2..etc.. after you put them in that formula, you take the inverse and solve for R(equivalence):
1/R(equivalence) = 1/R1 + 1/R2

Doesn't an electrical charge go from positive to negative?
That background music is unnecessary and very annoying.
But othe way parallels are for increase more current or reduse, and series are increase voltage or reduse voltage.
Why do you add NOISE to the background??? That reduces to degree we can understand you! That’s FU(KED up!!! Fix that, please.

@@abfobofgwf6399 My life has completely changed ever since I wrote that comment 5 years ago. Thank you, for bringing me back to this memory of watching this video.
What about battries connected in series or .. i guess what are the different ways to connect batteries together to change their voltage or a amperage.
Correct me if I’m wrong but it’s 1.33 reciprocal of “.75” derived from the sum of 1/8,1/8 & 1/2 which is equals to 12/16.
Thank you sir Chavez
why does the total resistance decrease as we increase the number of resistence in a parallel circuit?
Adding more resistors in parallel is equivalent to providing more branches through which charge can flow. Even though the added branches offer resistance to the flow of charge, the overall resistance decreases due to the fact that there are additional pathways available for charge flow. The fraction of the total charge which encounters a single resistor is now less. The additional branches mean that the circuit can sustain a greater current.
thanks dawg
I understand it better this way👍
