    In this Basics video I will show you how a capacitors works, what the ratings on the electrolytic ones mean and how they behave in DC and AC circuits.

      +Beta Seven Because schools, if yours are like the ones in the US (assuming you're not in the US), don't actually teach you anything you need to know or are interested in, unless it's an elective or you luckily find (for example) history interesting.

    • @l4d2160
      @l4d2160 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      For all we know, that very well could be true. Although, end result is the same either way. Knowing who these figures are helps you absolutely in no way, unless you're a history major then yeah that'll help. I'm a firm believer that schools should teach you things that no matter who you are or what you do, you'll need to know these things. How to do your taxes is a good example.

      ​@@l4d2160 I believe you missed the point of a school.
      The idea of teaching a wide range of things in a lot of areas comes from the objective of making you become a person that has a decent understanding of the world.
      History classes weren't my favorite eighter, but now it helps me to know why something is happening outside my country.
      I'm from Brazil, by the way. Always studied in public institutions. Maybe I was really lucky and had the best teachers every year for 14 years.

    Years ago, my sisters 1 yr old TV just stopped working "for no good reason". Sure enough, a careful look noted a suspect capacitor "bulging" at the top (that is why they have that scored x in the metal, so that it doesnt become a projectile). Went to Radio Shack, spent a $1.50 on an equal value capacitor, soldered to PC board and bingo, worked. Longest part of job was tackling the 57 screws to get the panel off / on. Good info here, thank you!

    • @re.liable
      @re.liable 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Would an aftermarket capacitor always work, as long as it is of equal value? Are there some compromises that cannot be made, e.g. capacitor type must be the same?
      I just fear that something "proprietary" might be on appliance capacitors and they may not be replaceable with off-the-shelf parts

    Hey GreatScott!, I recently subbed because I'm a programmer who is interested in learning about the hardware end of things, and of all the electronic channels I've found, I really enjoy yours the most! I admire your knowledge on the subject, and want to learn as much as I can! I have yet to start any project with electronics, so I don't want to foolishly pick a project too difficult for me. If that happened, I think I'd become easily discouraged. To avoid this, I was hoping you could recommend simple projects that are good for learning the usage/applications of all of the components you've covered in your Electronic Basic series (resistors, inductors, capacitors, etc)!
    Thanks, and I look forward to seeing more, awesome videos!
