Basic Electronics for Beginners in 15 Steps
In this video I will explain basic electronics for beginners in 15 steps. Getting started with basic electronics is easier than you might think. This video will hopefully demystify the basics of electronics so that anyone with an interest in building circuits can hit the ground running.
This is a quick overview into practical electronics and it is not my goal to delve deeply into the science of electrical engineering. If you are interested in learning more about the science of basic electronics, this channel is a good place to start your search. By the end of this video, anyone with an interest to learn basic electronics should be able to read a schematic and build a circuit using standard electronic components.

I liked this brief introduction to electronic circuit design and components. I am a rank beginner. It went fast but that’s ok, I can re-watch or turn to more in-depth segments. As for the EE’s out there who are trying to catch every little oversimplification, I would say, refer to the title of the vid. I am deeply appreciative that someone would take the time to prepare and post this info, it takes time and talent. Thanks! Now I can build concepts on these basics on my way to building a guitar amplifier. And yes, I will be careful with the filter capacitors.

LDR Photo electric - is this a simple on off switch? If I shine a laser at it, it keeps the contacts closed allowing current to flow. If i remove the light source, it stops the current. Can I put this into a simple setup (example, the tamper circuit of an alarm system) and if the laser light is tripped, set off the alarm?

Without the led spec sheet I would assume it draws 20 mA. The battery is 9 volts, R=E/I ohms law so the resistor you use is 9 volts divided by .020 amps which is 450 ohms. Your 330 ohms would run it a little hot. This is basic design engineering.

9:20 The flat notch on a LED is the side of the cathode not an anode.
Sorry but at 01:25 you mention that 60hz = 120hz, this is incorrect. If you begin measuring at an initial change in polarity vice half way thru a rise, you'll find 60Hz is 60Hz.
At 12:11 minute mark, the 330 ohm resistor is labeled on the schematic as 1k which is 1000 ohms. Not the same!

Electrical and electronics have a crossover point is the first thing to understand. Point of the power supply tends to be the cut off points. Also, electronics gets very deep when we get into rf analogue, digital etc. Suggest you find a place you are happy at. Much of the stuff one learns at college will never be used in real life, but the principles are important in other stuff even if it is not obvious to start with.

When I was like 10 or 12,I was just playing around with some components and managed to figure out how battery, switch, resistor, diode and led works. I don't know how?? 😭 And I also figured out that motor can generate electricity.
60 cycles per second is Hertz in frequency. One cycle goes from zero to positive then back negative to zero, that is only one half of a cycle. The author here is wrong about 60 hertz being 120 cycles.
Electrolytic Capacitors will also explode if connected in the wrong direction.

you made electronics simple by explaining it to how an idiot would understand and not bollocks it up. time to binge and claim all the knowledge i can. because the demystifying of things like this is important.

Help, advice needed, I am building a mini Vertical Axis Wind Turbine ( VAWT), I am good at construction and qualified at fabrication but know v little about electronics. I am currently stuck on what ( size) Diode I need for a Cordless Drill size motor to a small 2x 12v Battery pack. I saw a vid that said a ‘’blocking Diode’’ is what is used to stop electricity going back to the Gene from battery, but you say in this vid that Diodes block, not specifying a ‘’blocking’’ diode. So are all Diodes’’blocking’’ ones?, also could you or anyone pls tell me what size ( ‘’blocking’’ ?) Diode I would need for my above mini Wind Gene? I would really appreciate some advice with this, as it is to part power my flat.

I would advise you to wait a little longer before you attempt this project. As you progress through explanations of power generation and rectification characteristics it will become apparent why I'm making those suggestions. As an example ( a very relevant one). How much of a load is going to be required? Until you can answer all of the relevant questions ACCURATELY, folly is probably inevitable. ly

It is at a level now that is very proprietary. About two decades ago micro miniaturization was accomplished by establishing a interior composite of a component on diagram media and that component and all of its neighbors were reduced down photographically to be extremely small. Much smaller than the component it was modeled after.
Wow
You messed up at 12:12 - the resistor is not 330 Ohm.

Also at 05:55 he states that "the amount of current that passes between these pins is proportional to the voltage being applied at the base pin". It's not. The amout of current at those pins are proportional to the CURRENT being applied at the base pin
4:58 - Not only will it not work correctly, it will burst open. It must be replaced after that.
Will be better if real time examples and problems are given.

Resistors like capacitors and other components have names, Names that are functional but may seem confusing Things like Current Limiting Resistor Step Down Transformer Bulk Filter Capacitor Smoothing Capacitor NOW..... Even though, simply stated, we are only talking about a standard Capacitor here or a Standard Resistor or a standard Transformer THE NAME IS GIVEN AS A RESULT OF IT'S FUNCTION OR PURPOSE IN THE CIRCUIT OF THAT PART OF THE CIRCUIT in the example of a Smoothing Capacitor, it's function is to smooth out ripples in the voltage HENCE THE NAME in the case of the transistor, it takes a higher voltage (say 240V AC) it reduces it (STEPS DOWN) to say 16V AC on the secondary coil, hence the name now.. this resistor is called A CURRENT LIMITING RESISTOR because it is put in circuit to LIMIT THE CURRENT going to the LED now let's examine your question "What happens if you dont use a resister on an LED circuit?" SCIENTIFIC AND LITERAL ANSWER : Your current will not be limited going to the resistor OVER LAMEN ANSWER : Shit will blow up REALISTIC ANSWER BUT NOT TOO ENGINEERING LEVEL: depending on a few factors and considering ohm's law, Your LED might not blow up and you might get lucky, but if you do , Over time the lifespan of your LED will greatly reduce. it is however more likely that your LED will blow up or the filament will go open circuit because LED's are low power devices , You put too much current through them or voltage and you exceed their rating they're likely to fail also..... RESISTOR is spelled like this also..... the answer depends on WHICH RESISTOR VALUE YOU CHOOSE and which LED you chose so... does that help you understand The Take away is.... YOU ADD THE RESISTOR, YOU LIMIT THE CURRENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROTECTING THE LED YOU TAKE THE RESISTOR AWAY AND YOU LET THE CURRENT FLOW FREELY FROM THE SOURCE TO AN UPROTECTED RESISTOR TO SUFFER THE FULL FORCE OF THE VOLTAGE AND CURRENT Hope that helps
