Responding out of knowing that feeling but instead of electric stuff like that it's almost all about component compatibility with puter parts. I wish there were videos like this channel, but on defending your property from vultures working for the city and other infrastructure jobs so I didn't have to DIY learning while defending my body against Pavlov era idealists working with my power and coax companies to black market goods that, and this is true, trade neurons, follicles, anything healthy by my choice and actions. The fact is, I'm at my wits end complaining on the Internet about trade secrets that the world i lived in knew nothing about and certainly isn't something I want to take advantage of on somebody else nor their family. This shit gave my mom cancer, at most I want to give them cancer back; and I'm immuned to getting cancer obviously because I was born at the end of June.

The editing put into this is crazy smooth

You uploaded this literally as I was at work looking at the tv camera's knobs wondering how they worked. Thanks for your work on this channel, very informative and explained extremely clearly even for newbies like me!

I have no background in electrical engineering, but I have potentiometers installed in my home in place of classical light switches to control the brightness of room lightbulbs. I had no clue how do those actually work, always thought it was something incredibly complicated, but after this video I can fully understand the principle. Most likely I won't apply that knowledge anywhere, but it's very nice that someone has finally clarified this to me. Also, had no clue that those sliders on audio desks are just potentiometers, so thank you for that. Great video!

Electric Guitars... (rotary type) I am getting ready to replace 3 of these on one of my guitars, so I was just fishing and the old interweb and came across your video and found myself gaining a better understanding of the design and inner workings of these. A lifetime ago (1988-90) I used to work in the hand build department of a company soldering circuit boards for aircraft instrument panels and I still enjoy learning about exactly how all these different components function as part of the circuit system. Our training and knowledge was based on a physical skill level and no knowledge of the function of the parts was required, but it's always interested me very much. As with any, and all things that I give any time to. Lol. It looks like your entire channel is full of interesting videos. You got a sub and a like from me, and I believe that I will be spending some time going through your videos. This is very well made content.

Hello. I have been watching your videos and others a couple months know to understand electricity in cars and how to diagnose issues. I really appreciate how easy you’ve made portions of electricity to understand. However, I have not seen a video on how current flow induces electricity. Can you make a video (if you already have one up please reference me to it) on how current flow carries positive ions through the circuit. I know that it should be common sense that the electrons flowing is what produces the electricity, but there are not any visual representations on why the energy is created when current is flowing.

Thank you very much for what you’re doing I am an electrical engineering student in my first year and this is helping me a lot ❤

This needs a description of how some potentiometers go to 11. 🤘

Two potentiometer variants not discussed here are L-pads, and tapped potentiometers. L-pads use a pair of intentionally mismatched, differing resistance-tapered elements (usually wirewound) in order to maintain a relatively constant impedance or resistance to the driver circuit/device regardless of the setting of the L-pad; These are often used as remote volume controls for speakers in other rooms, or as level-setting devices for tweeters or mid ranges, because the power loss (due to a non-optimal impedance loading to the amplifier) is somewhat minimized, and they won't change the frequency response of a speaker crossover as the added series resistance of an ordinary potentiometer would. Tapped potentiometers are sometimes used as audio amplifier volume controls in order to privide a constant, continuous, fixed-amount feedback signal for lowering distortion or to actuate bass/treble/variable-"loudness" circuits where the amount of bass is increased at low listening levels and automatically decreases as you turn up the volume , to prevent stressing the speakers.

Nicely explained.

3:42 Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the Resistance A type an exponential type instead of an logarithmic one? Exponentials are the inverse of logarithms.

@barcodenosebleed5485

Ай бұрын

Well that was an interesting rabbit hole to go down and now my brain hurts. Why do we call them logarithmic when they graph as exponential? Is it just the fact that they're used for audio and loudness is described logarithmicly? As-in we just ended up with this misnomer due to that tradition? Or, more generally speaking, while being graphed exponentially, is it infact aptly named but just from the perspective of the equivalent logarithm because that perspective is more important electrically? And then, is an inverse/anti log pot actually the one that's logarithmic? Or is it still exponential and just rotated 180°? I'm not even sure that question makes sense... Another thing to think about: consider a slider pot where directionality isn't an issue as you can make either end "up". There's a reason there are still log and inverse log versions...you couldn't just wire them backwards. The types differ in whether you have the "fine adjustment" (slow change) portion of the curve near the high resistance area of the pot or the low resistance area. And then practically, it appears these types of pots are more or less actually two linear pots with different "resistance per degree" characteristics stuck end-to-end and are thus only an approximation of said mathematical functions.

The world's best teacher thanks sir

Reading topic in textbook was dreadful... So I skipped it 😅... Now that I watch this video not knowing this rotating thing is a potentiometer, I am amazed by knowing how simple it is, sir you are the best teacher...

This channel teaches more in 1 hour than my teachers did in 2 years

We need moreeee!!! Im 15 and i was just depressed i wanna improve myself

i was thinking about this yesterday and this video popped in my recommended

There are a couple of small pots in one of my electronic control panels that can only be accessed with a jeweler's screwdriver. The pots have no physical stop on their rotational movement. I have been told to rotate the pot until I am sure it is past its upper/lower limit and then start slowly rotating it back for desired effect. How are such "no physical stop" pots made?? BTW, your videos are terrific!

A hands-on engineer doesn't stuff you up with crazy ass equations for hours which turn into nothing tangible at the end of the day 👏👏👏

I noticed from your posting an important fact you may review. This involves the variable to not go to zero. Say you have a 10k variable resistor and you only want it to go down to for instance 1k: The 10k is across pins one and three, the 1k would be from the vary pin to either pin one or three depending on the way of rotation needed. This causes the pins one and three to vary.

It's nice to see the upgrade in video quality

Thank you Sir Very much for making this video boz I need this for my test on topic resistance and you told very nicely ❤ once again I thanking you 💓💓 Please like this comment 🙏

In the RBG LED driver circuit at the end, what good is it to hook the black trace to the 3rd leg of each pot instead of just channeling the negative voltage through the RBG LED common leg? That seems to me to just create an unnecessary 333.333 ohm parallel resistor that isn't needed for driving the LED and is an extra drain on the battery ( about 27 mA) even when all pots are turned to their lowest (highest resistance) setting.

Thanks you ❤❤

Can you make a video on ADCs please. Thanks

when I was little, say around 9 or 10. I thought I could make a lamp dimmer by wiring a potentiometer in series with a table lamp. I misunderstood that it would not work as a dimmer switch, but quickly found out with a very smelly , smokey result. like you showed at the end of the video. 😆

Thank you very much! Now I understand how RPM of a DC motor is increased or decreased via potentiometers. One question: Does resistance inside a potentiometer decreases current flow too or only voltage? Because in the animation thickness of green flow was not changing when resistance increased.
