    I'm hooked on this video series. I was struggling a bit with the electronics questions on the amateur radio General exam. These videos are short and to the point and provide enough background so that you really understand the concepts. Great work!

    Great videos. I'm doing more or less independent study at a technical college in electronics; it's a pretty sweet deal as long as I keep up with the reading, the homeworks and the lab work. But, I find myself wishing I had more instruction in some of the very basics and even just a different narrative than offered in a text (Boylestad). Your video fill that need. They help keep me on the straight and narrow as far as focusing on the topics and I cannot stand listening to those effin curry-chompers on some other channels. Keep up the videos. You've got my vote.

Listen to your fans and ignore the haters, don't fuel their hate but show your fans your attention. Good luck hope to see you at the 100,000 sub club.

    Flashbacks to the first time I saw a zener diode on a schematic.
    This was in a highschool electronics class, in what I guess would equate to junior year in the united states.
    It was however in the "Elektrofag" (Electro-subject) line of the school system.
    We had basically not been given any education on what anything was at that point, since it was pretty early on in the year, and the teacher drew this schematic for a rectifier. I knew a little bit, so I managed to piece together how it worked, except for the diode.
    I had a look at the diode and thought to myself "thats a funky diode, I wonder whats different about it" and I asked the teacher as such. He tells me "oh thats a Zener diode" and wrote that on the board.
    I ended up having to ask this teacher about it several times throughout the year, and the best explanation I could get was "The voltage across it is constant"
    Needless to say, those who joined that line of school planning to do something with electronics (myself included) were so demotivated by the utter confusion those classes were, that practically all of us ended up not persuing that.

  • @makemoneyonline7502
    @makemoneyonline7502 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Little summary of this video :
    Diodes allow current to flow in only one direction. If you were to reverse-biased (change the direction) the diode, the current will not flow through the circuit until the "Zener Voltage" has been exceeded. As it happens, the voltage of the power supply is at 5volt. He moved the voltage to 10.8V, like that the "Zener Voltage" has been exceeded and the current can flow through the circuit. Zener diodes can be very useful for : creating voltage references, shunt voltage regulator and over voltage protections circuit. When you were to increase the voltage of the power supply to 51V and measuring the voltage throughout the zener diode with the help of a voltmeter, you'll notice that the voltmeter measured a voltage of approximately 10 volt and therefore you created a 10 volt voltage regulator.
