    34:13 Capacitor passes AC to ground and blocks DC keeping it at the side of input power line, not letting it to ground. This produces even DC voltage at power line. This is the best education channel on KZread :)

    Great explanations. I've been in electronics since the mid 1960"s and have grown up with tubes, transistors, IC's, etc., etc., etc. BUT always the basics stay the same. Devices get smaller, power demands increase, but the theory (and physics) stays the same. It's not magic (usually). Keep it up! We are never to old to learn. We just need better eyes ;-). (You didn't explain that the "B" power term comes from using a "B" battery used in the 20's with the A, B and C battery radios.)

    Hello Sorin Nice video and next time maybe explain what happens with the coil and how it generates the higher or lower voltage depending on the configuration and the smoothing capacitor after the coil. Actually I think you should start explaining the conversion from ac to dc with a full bridge and show the sinus and what the capacitor does to smooth the sinus to dc because it't easy to explain the role of the capacitor in this case so they can easier understand it's role in the switching power supply. Thank you and keep up the good work!

    Another way of explaining the use of caps and coils is by looking at what is called impedance. In both AC and DC a resistor drops voltage. The equivalent function of caps and coils in AC is called impedance. With caps, the impedance decreases the higher you go in frequency, with coils it is the opposite the impedance increases with higher frequencies. Caps pass high frequencies - in this case to ground, and coils restrict high frequencies, in this case from going further through the circuit. Also what can be mentioned is what a square wave is comprised of. When you create a square wave, it is actually comprised of the fundamental switching frequency, plus odd harmonics in decreasing amplitude. So in your explanation where you are switching the mosfets at 300Khz (the fundamental frequency), also present are the third harmonic or 3x the fundamental = 900Khz, 5x = 1500Khz, 7x - 2100Khz, 9 times or 2700 Khz, etc. all in decreasing magnitude. These are all radio frequencies. So the caps are there to remove the fundamental, as well as those harmonics, which can cause radio interference. They effectively "purify" the DC voltage that goes to the digital circuitry.

And I would like to say I also I'm learning from you thank you for your time.

    Yes, I agree. Sorin, when you were talking about the dual MOSFET TV power supply, I first thought that the supply line was mains voltage, and was confused about where the isolation was. If you had mentioned things like input voltages, it might have been clearer to me that this was a secondary power supply (at least that is what I now understand). Also, as an Australian, I would like to say, what a great video it was. I look forward to watching more of them.

    Hi Sorin, doesn't the current change at the power supply from A/C to DC in the power pack before the input jack on the laptop? If so, why does the power supply need to have a capacitor on the 19v rail after the input jack? This video is so fascinating, I'm having to rewatch it several times to comprehend it as my understanding of electronics of this kind is very elementary. Thanks for these lessons. You have a big heart. I wish you lived nearby, I would definitely volunteer my time to do things for you even if it was just to be a gopher as long as I could learn from you too. Plus, I would donate some of my laptop parts to you as well for your repairs.

    Because the charger gives you a nice, pollished 19V at the input jack but after that, on the motherboard, there are many smaller buck converters which convert those 19V to 5V, 3.3V, 1V etc. The reason for the capacitors is that those small power supplies/buck converters located on the laptop motherboard itself reduce the voltage by generating a modulated pulse which also gives you a choppy signal at the output which looks like this: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/Duty_Cycle_Examples.png. So to get a normal, smooth signal which can be consumed by the motherboard you need to polish that pulse to get a steady voltage and that is achieved by those caps.This is what the caps do to the pulse: pcbheaven.com/wikipages/images/pwmmodulation_1236520415.jpg After that, the voltage is steady and ready for consumption.
