Maybe a reboot will work or maybe it won't, but it most likely won't hurt anything to try it. If the thing you try works, great, but if it doesn't work, you probably won't hurt anything. But if you're afraid of blowing a CPU or something, feel free to leave it for someone on the next shift who is more experienced, and try to learn more about that specific thing later. Honestly, I suffer from imposter syndrome when it comes to my job and often wonder why I ever applied for it. There are a lot of things I can fix that so many others can't, and other things that I have to leave for someone with more experience and knowledge. That said, we all bring our own skills to the table. A newer employee is better than me at troubleshooting a lot of electronics-related stuff, but I have also been able to teach him quite a few things. We teach each other things, which helps us both improve. 🙂

It's mostly a case of knowing where to get your start values so you can find your needed values.

I have started watching his videos as well. Maybe I can work on some of my own radios some day. 73's. KC0LRM

One of the best basic crash course on most commonly used components I've seen so far. My father caught me taking apart my little brothers' broken remote control car when I was 13 so he bought me a small simple booklet on resistors and an electronic multi tester. Once we've collected enough components from broken radios etc. we started building basic amplifiers, LED blinkers and several other projects we followed from some of his electronic project books when I was 15. It's too bad that the colleges I tried to apply to for electronics didn't know or care that I was passionate and had more than necessary drive to earn at least some education so that part of me died a little and I never really got much further than the basics (to be fair I'm from a tiny town where we are still thought to be a primitive culture that only began modern civilization just a little over a hundred years ago). My last electronics build is a speaker amplifier (most I've done before that were small headphone amplifiers using one or two transistors) using OP Amps instead of transistors was like 9 years ago from an online course in audio engineering in which I passed and got a certificate from but my interest in electronics is not likely to come back to life again... Not so much that I was discouraged but more that my passion for it died. I feel that you might need to make a separate video on transistors because what you showed was practically just an introduction. NPN based/PNP based, switch only when currency goes through, how it amplifies and some more basis. But all in all... Really good 38 minutes video.

Hi I know I’m late but I am so so sorry and that breaks my heart that something so passionate could be destroyed that quickly, what I wish for you to keep in mind is that colleges in general do not give a flying f about anyone, they are just in it for the money. I watched a video on where this girl was a perfect student with the most perfect grades and she got rejected from college, and many other people shared their stories. It’s not because they weren’t good enough, it was because people didn’t care, they just accept or reject anyone they don’t read or analyze what you’ve accomplished or care about you. College is a false reality of hope, people think if you get in college you’ll be set in life but that is not true. Many people go into college for years coming out working 9-5s, the only reason to go to college is to get a degree because everything requires a degree but degrees are literally useless.

16:26 Anode and Cathode are greek words. "Άνοδος" and "Κάθοδος". They literaly mean "ascending" and "descending". In greek there is no such letter as "C"; only the "Kappa" which is the "K" in english. That's where the symbol "K" for the cathode comes from. Same goes for the symbol "μ" which stands for micro (which is also a greek word and it means "small"). In greek the lower case type for the letter "M" is not "m" as in latin, but "μ". Good work bro.

Then there are people more generally good at explaining things, but they do not like doing it very often, repetively, or outside of context(s) of their own choosing. Some are good at explaining things, but not very patient, or generally good, with people. Many people are good at explaining things, but don't want to be, or don't think themselves suited for, the job of an actual teacher.

I'm shocked! I had to watch three videos on KZread -- this being the first of the three -- before I could hear someone say that current flowing from the cathode toward the anode across a diode is blocked. I remember reading somewhere that this assumption began way back in the 1800s by physicists incorrectly deducing that the electron was the passive component of an atom (yin) and the proton was the active component (yang). Since they recognized their error fifty years after it began, they decided it was too late to correct it. I just assumed that everyone knows this by now and no longer makes the same mistake? The tell tale sign is: which side of the diode connects to which terminal on a DC power supply? If the diode's cathode has to be connected to the negative terminal on a DC power supply, then that means that electrons are flowing against the diode's arrow. This also implies that voltage builds up across a diode if current is forced to flow in the reverse direction from the diode's anode towards its cathode by connecting the diode's anode to the negative terminal on a DC power supply. Or am i misusing the term: 'current'? Should I be using the term: 'amperage', instead? This is so confusing...... Can somebody, please, clear this up? 🤣

Jeepers Creepers Clive, I'm in my 40's and in the mechanical trade services. Whilst I was a young fella I was always told correctly to not touch any electronics because of all of the dangers told to us by parents and elders (still very true) But these videos are a fantastic way for a person who's perhaps been stuck in their old ways, probably have unwarranted fears and are not sure how to get involved in electronics, such as hobby/auto electrical enthusiast. The way you helped to explain and then it clicked for me was my trade experience in Diesel mechanics and the heap of hydraulic design, installation and repair I had done and it's all current and flow with resistance for pressure etc. Love these videos mate. Cheers from South Australia 🇦🇺

This video was really great for me. I started 3D printing last May 2021, and I was considering learning electronics and how to design my own PCB boards, even though I have zero knowledge on it, but it felt very daunting and I was scared away. Especially since the 3D printing community has so many already knowledgeable people, they talk very quickly about the electronic and technical aspects of printing and I get lost so quickly due to the lack of colloquial terminology. This video was so refreshing because you didn't use professional terms without giving colloquial ones to pair with. Lots of really good metaphorical examples to explain how the pieces work. Thank you so much, wish me luck on 3D printing and making electronic prints :D

Amazing video, you summarized the content of 1 or 2 electronic courses in less than 40 minutes and managed to blow up two 10 ohm resistors in the process - Well done! Having been a young tinkerer as a child and later in life gone through the electronics courses in college I can say that I wish I had *this* introduction as a child, you explain things so clearly. If I were watching as a child today, I'd want more of this content, a lot more. So I encourage you, as time permits, to make more content like this for those starting their adventures in electronics. BTW: I like that you show things blowing up, it provides interest to the video and it's educational to see what happens when things go wrong (hopefully they won't just blow up resistors). Who knows, maybe one day you'll hear people say that they got their inspiration from Big Clive on You Tube!

Its been 4 years i keep watching this video whenver i feel i missed something, one of the best explanations ever made.

This video was recommended to me in high-school 6 years ago. I watched it and was pretty interested. This just got recommended to me again now. I am a Junior undergrad studying Electrical Engineering. How time flies!!!

That video taught me more about electronics than the whole topic over several month in school.

I'd love a visual intro to electronics series like this. This has made clear some things I've only ever half grasped.

Enlightening, and very well presented. This coming from someone who considers everything electrical, "Magic". Thanks.

So Cathode is K because C is reserved for Collector! I had to have a search when you mentioned it! Great video.

Thanks for teaching me! I love electronic components and now i love them even more since i now know how they function. Greatly appreciate you taking the time to do this. This is much better than the other tutorials on how components work.

You did an awesome job at making a concise video that actually holds the viewers attention. Great job! You deserve more subs!

you know whats sad? i've learn't more from you than I ever did at tech lesson in school!

what's sad? School is for indoctrination, not practical learning.

Clive, thank you for explaining it so well. Even after so many years you can easily explain how components work. I myself am a Electrical engineer and seeing you make it easier for beginners makes me happy! We all need some sort of understanding in electronics nowadays because it is integrated in everything!

Thank you for the like Clive😄

The way I was taught to remember the color code was Bad Boys Rape Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly...I've watched most of all your videos and you make it simple to refresh my memory. Thanks for taking the time to put this together

I rewatch this video every few weeks, I love the way you explain everything!

Clive, Thank you for a very helpful video. The Mnemonic I use to remember the colours is-- Bill Brown Ran Over Yon Green But Violet Grey Walked.

Started working at a manufacturing facility that creates printed circuit boards. As an entry-level employee, my job consists of placing part A into the appropriate holes of part B. I really enjoy the company and want to move past entry level. These videos are so informative and are helping me to understand exactly what I'm working with and it's role in the unit.

This is very helpful. I’m homeschooled and I am learning electronics but now that I’m learning more advanced electronics and not the basics I found the parts quite confusing but you have explained them very well. Thank you!

I always wondered about these things. Thank you for explaining so clearly

Great video!! When I was about 7 I had a free guitar lesson from some hippie who taught me an easy way to remember the notes for each open string. (from highest pitch to low).... Easter...Bunny...Gets...Drunk...At...Easter. ... It’s not exactly “rude.” But as a 7 year old it was mildly inappropriate and for that reason it is forever locked in my brain. I can imagine being a senile old man on my deathbed, riddled with dementia and unable to recognize even my closest family members.. I will probably be mumbling those 6 words over and over. Between that and the few old Nintendo codes that I will also likely be blurting out, I should be confusing the hell out of anyone unlucky enough to be there...

Dont know squat about electricity but loving this video - well explained and well informed. Straight to the point in explaining, no background music or loud voices.

Big Clive! I have done my first kit and it is all your fault! Because of your encouragement in this video I was able to take the chance to try something new. My father turned 72 a few weeks ago so I built him a tiny FM radio for his birthday. Thank you for these videos sir! I now have the hunger to do more kits and learn more about electronis as a whole. Thank you again sir. Have a wonderful day.

So I'm 60% ready for making my own circuit after watching this video. Thanks for this! 👍

Voltage in Japanese is "denatsu," which literally means "electric pressure."

Another vote for Tension. In Czech language "napětí".

Wow! Thanks for this exciting video. Really easy to follow. I am not an electronic scholar but only just an enthusiast with keen interest in this subject. Some teachers complicate the subject with jargons and vague expressions but here you made it an exciting roller coaster trip into the electronic realm. Thanks with huge respect. 👍👍

I really appreciate the video. I look forward to more in the future. Your reverse engineering of circuits is so very helpful. Thank you as always.!

That was your best video yet I think. I learned basic electronics myself when I was young in the 70s, but I always wanted to know about design and why certain components and values were selected. You started me off now because I want more. I think you could and should do a electronic design information course for old gits like me where we are put on the right trail and given the chance to work some of it out ourselves and of course with you at the end giving the correct answer and explain why. I think it would be a hit on Y-Tube, anybody else agree?? 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 PS, I learned the blackboy version. Never did us any harm.

I am just starting to try and learn electronics so been watching a lot of different videos but find yours the easiest to understand thanks

OHHH MYYYY. THAT DEFENITION OF WHAT IS VOLT WAS . ........ EXTRA FABULOUSS. THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH.

Great video! I used to know some of this years ago and have had to work on some circuit boards but since I don't do it a lot I just forget about it. Thanks for the information!!!!

Someone like this so I can find it again. Thank you!

@@bespinguard7854 I know, I got a lot of liked videos, so it will be difficult to find again. Thank you for the tip though.

I did electronics and electrical engineering when I left school at Richmond Upon Thames technical college. It was such a fantastic time. I learnt everything from transmission theory to motors and welding 😃etc. I spent some time in electrical design in the oil and gas industry but ended up as an IT guy and that’s been my work till 54. I totally agree with the other comments that your explanation is truly brilliant. I had a lecturer who was as inspirational as you, and just made learning brilliant. I was talking to him at my last exam and I said I was worried how well I will do. He said, “ You only have to sign your name, you already have a 98% pass”. That is how learning should be!

7 yrs and still super helpful. Thank you sir!

Just here to advance my general knowledge

"Would you like to see that again? Yes you would." xD!!!!!

That was amazing. Very well organized and thorough. Thank you!

this is one of the BEST teachers I have ever seen a video from! More like this on youtube PLEASE!

36:30 The way I helped my classmates remember the color codes was by telling them to write all the colors in order of hottest to coldest, then write 0 to 9 beside each color moving down. It worked surprisingly well.

"Do you want to see me burn something..." "...do you want to see me do it again?"

Thank -you for this great tutorial ! I've just started to build small projects ( stomp box fx for guitarists ) Your detailed explanations have helped me increase my knowledge immensely . Thanks again !!!

This is an excellent introduction. You made me smile when you described the difficulty in reading the colour bands on blue resistors. Welcome to my colour-blind world. In fact, someone introduced me to an app that automatically reads the resistance bands for you - something that could be useful to people with normal colour vision too.

very informative, love watching your videos!

Awesome video! Would love to see more beginner stuff like this. Maybe some more really simple practical examples?

Such an informative and helpful video makes my study life easier! Hope this video series can keep going on.

I love your piping analogies it makes it extremely easy to comprehend

Very good, Clive. You do make it a bit over complicated, however, you also provide some other useful insights that are often not included in such simple tutorials. Good work & thanks for sharing your knowledge!

"I'm not going to go into detail here otherwise it would become boring very quickly"... Mate, we've watched a 40minute video on electronic components... we're all nerds... nothing can be boring here!🤙🏻

Clive, I find your definitions & examples of electronic components quite useful. Thanks for posting. *_TRUST !!_*

I'm just getting into circuits and I been looking all over for a simple explanation like this. Thx sooo much,!
