Hey, I'm also a CS student and learning electronics stuff on the side. Have you considered doing Comp Engineering? Or are you sticking with CS?

you should be commended. one of the best videos, well documented snd great explanations i have ever watched on this and related subject. A JOB WELL DONE. THANK YOU

This video covers everything, even examples in hardware at a high resolution. My hat is off, also for providing this knowledge for free. This video goes into my "electronics" playlist for when I need to refresh my memory.

all right! Now that was a great piece of information that finally helped me see the big picture for what it is. I knew some of this but without confidence because I wasn't sure if I had it right and now after learning the different types and what they really do and even how they are build ... the haze of mystery that usually comes around them leaves place to a bright and clear view on these electronic components Thank you guys, I'm looking forward to similar videos on caps, mosfets, relays etc

I'm glad you made this video .... I have been trying to tell a friend of mine the difference between a pot and a rheostat ........ I didn't even think about using my lab supply like you did ........ Merci encore'

Really great video, packed with great info in a very informative way. I can't yoink it enough. Thanks for sharing.

Great Video!! Concise and entertaining. Info dense without filler but easy to understand and follow. Subscribed and will be ordering both the mug and guide for support. Thanks for your work. I am intrigued by the vast applications of the Arduinos and am wading into these electronic components. This was by far the best video about resistors and how they work.

With the blue metal film resistors, you look up the color code, then.... you measure the resistance using the meter, because it's impossible to read those colors against the blue background, and it's nearly impossible to tell which direction to read the resistor! BAN BLUE RESISTORS!!

Thanks for this guide. I know just a little bit about this stuff. You answered some questions I've had about the differences between type and resistance.

Best explanation video ever❤❤❤❤

Thank you for taking the time to make such a detailed video. This was very helpful as I am trying to learn circuit design and repair my own broken electronics.

Seeing the multimeter probe move around the potentiometer was certainly a 💡 moment. Great demonstration.

This is the best resistor video ive ever watched.

I've learned a lot in this video, subscribed. amazing video to see that you worked months on doing this

Love your book too; you really put your heart to it

Thank you so much for making this video. I’ve wanted an explanation exactly like this for quite some time. I’ve been building guitar pedals and want to understand how everything incorporated makes them work. Super helpful, Cheers 🤙

Magical video... I have thousands of 14 watt resistors from my hobby days... They cost little, yet aren't that simple (I now know)... I had a Russian built transistorised clock radio in the early 70s... it was antiquated in its construction, with uninsulated wire coiled round resistors in places. I thought back then the reason was a lack of proper value resistors... They may have been inductors...

This is a very well done video. Bravo! Good job and thx

Top notch content and documents... looks like something I did for resistors. Great job, gave you a like.

Dude! Great explainer … I hope you do more on other components , please!

Starting with this would be more informative:What is meant by resistor? A resistor is an electrical component that limits or regulates the flow of electrical current in an electronic circuit. Resistors can also be used to provide a specific voltage for an active device such as a transistor.

We were playing with resistors in a 6-10V circuit during high school Physics, and I always wondered why the resistors ran warm.

Awesome

Well earned coffee for the guide. Hard to find condensed info on them (try getting all of it from the art of electronics book). Hope more comes up, looking forward to a diode and capacitor video and guide. I have one question though. I have some buck converters which feature this trim pode with a lead screw. Not sure if cheap China construction or something to do with the trimpod. Sometimes I turn them and turn and turn but nothing changes. What happens as you keep turning as there are no hard limits. My assumption is that it will loop around, but is that detrimental to the integrity of the trimpod?

@james_gatlin

29 күн бұрын

Buck converters should output a change in voltage as the Trimpot is turned, (make sure there is no load on the device when testing) its quite common for cheap trimpot wipers to get dislodged with to many turns, it may need to be replaced.

@@james_gatlin thanks for answering. I have a pack of 10 of them. 4 already presented this problem (no load while turning, just multimeter and power source), that's why I asked, because I keep turning them until I see a voltage change, but they seem to fail fairly easily,.so I was wondering if I was bricking them or if just low quality. 3 of them stop stepping down the voltage to and one didn't change voltage anymore. They are supposed to reset, after a full course right?

I get the impression that resistors are often some sort of wire wound. This is also the impression I have of inductors. How does this influence the way we use these wire wound resistors?

I had bricked the first gen Samsung Galaxy phone that ran Gingerbread Android (2.3). I used ohm resistors that touched the mini usb port and the phone booted into Safe Mode and I was succesful in restoring Android.

K great video but you forgot some important material! The content of silver and platinum will be helpful to a much bigger audience ty

Metal film resistors are sometimes harder to read their color bands due to their blue paint. I would suggest you tone down the wobbliness of your component drawings though, it feels like that style doesn't work too well when trying to represent component symbols.

This was a decent video, Honestly i expected to see bullshit as you mostly do. BUT NO... AS AN ENGINEER, I APPROVE THIS VIDEO, It actually was very good, Very accurate and in depth. Well Done

The video feels like from great Scott haha

Pro tip: You can parallel bigger resistors to achieve the smaller value you want and that way you can handle a little more heat and power.

I couldn't Resist bookmarking this video. 😬

Cool video. How about adding how the values in a series is determined. That was one thing I always wondered about. I was on a large public works project doing communications integration. One of the "engineers" submitted a test procedure to test the validity of an analog input to a PLC for an unimportant task like high/low temp or something. The procedure called for placing a 500 ohm resister across the inputs. Well 500 ohms is not a standard value the closes being 480 ohms. I said I will use two 1k resistors in parallel. Nope, our procedure called for a single 500 ohm resistor. We had to get two specially made, one for testing and the other for reference. I think it was like $800.

@james_gatlin

Ай бұрын

🤔…….. yes and no, you can divide the dissipation across many resistors, but that many resistors will heat up the neighboring resistors, have unpredictable impedance, and reduce the power capacity, though not entirely, perhaps in this example you’ll get a 35-40 watt capacity.

6:35 "SMD resistors are impossible by hand" Nah man.. replacing SMD resistor is one of my daily job, and it's still possible with pinset, not always specialized machine

Great informative video! And super sexy common curve plot @ 9:45.

You can find low precision resistors anymore. It's just too easy and cheap to get higher tolerance with modern manufacturing. It's neat to get into older electronics. Careful. Very old electronics are positive ground. And motors are still positive to negative current flow. Conventions and history...yikes!

Yeah, knew all of this. But I'm still searching for the answer to "why?" Why are different values needed? How do you know, when designing a circuit, if you need a resistor at all? Variable resistors make sense. They can be thought of as a dimmer. But when do i need a 500 ohm resistor? 5k ohms?

@kolega281

Ай бұрын

There's like a million answers to this. Sometimes you can use a resistor as a potential divider, since voltage is proportional to impedance. Sometimes you can use a resistor to limit current, for example to an LED. Here the maths would be based off of the maximum current rating of the LED and basic circuit laws. Sometimes you need resistors to bias transistors (apply certain voltages/currents to them consistently to keep them within certain operating conditions during normal operations). This is both for analogue circuits ergo amplification and more, or for digital circuits where the transistor is used for switching. Here you'd use a large set of transistor equations, depending on the type of transistor, to set either current or voltage or both. Impedance matching, RC circuits/oscillators. And there's so many more uses. Ultimately the specifics of this is something people spend years learning and even longer to specialise in specific areas. It's insanely complex and there's different formulas for every different field and application, so this is just a rough overview of a few examples.
