    6:10 You said 'the colour band is grey' but highlighted the green band on the table. I think it would be better if you put a caption for correction because I see many people bewildered by the contents of the video. Other than that, pretty well explained. Great job

    You should include the voltage drop across the LED when calculating the resistance required to produce 30mA. Typically, red LEDs operate at 2V. So the calculation should be (9V - 2V)/0.03 = 230 ohms. However, with 300 ohms, the current will be 23mA, which is better than 30mA, because you should never operate any device at its rated maximum.

    Great video; however, I see two mistakes right away. 1st one is the LED itself, its hooked up backwards, shorter leg is usually/normally always negative. The 2nd mistake is that he chose the wrong value of the resistor's Multiplier, even though he did say the right one (he chose green instead of gray).

    The LED part is inaccurate, since you didn't take into account the voltage drop on the LED. A 3mm red LED has about 1.7V drop across it, so the drop on the resistor is about 7.3V. The correct equation is R=7.3V/30mA, so R=243.333Ω

    Does resistor delays power consumption? i had a case of smoke generator that i mdel a coil out of vape wire and a 5v fan and the power was 7.5volt 1000mah rechargeable battery, it runs for roughly 8 -10 minute and the power will ran out, one of the biggest reason i'm thinking on adding a resistor was i hope it would slow down the flow of the current but does this actually means same amount of power would still be wasted ? and that protects the fans and the heater wire coil from burn out?, i'm working on my second homemade smoke generator for my RC(remote control) tiger 1 1:16 , but this time the boiling chamber was much more compact and smaller which made the smoke liquid runs out even faster and the coil would caught lit up with fire and later extinguish itself when the oxygen in the bottle was used up, i still had a lot of adjustment to do with this smoke generator , improved until it was much more feasible to use than conventional aftermarket smoke generator.

Also when we say that 2A is going through resister R , does that mean before entering the resister or after the resister? Please help

    Yes, when you connect two or more resistors in series in a ckt, (i.e R1 & next to it, R2, R3), each resistor values (ohms) "R" are added, as to find Equivalent Resistance Requ= R1+2+R3, while calculating the current flow I=V/(R1+R2+R3)=V/Requ. The reason is , the voltage potential at the first resistor arriving at the resistor R1 is taken as Voltage for calculating current flow on each resistors in series. Hence, the current flows on all the resistors will be the same, but with drop in voltage.

    No I don't think that is correct. By ohm's law: V=(A)(R) The higher the resistance, if the amperage stayed the same, voltage would also rise proportionally; obviously, that is NOT what happens, resistors do not add voltage. If the voltage stays the same (given a potential differential = X from a given source like a battery) and if we change the value of the resistor, then what must change is the current to make the numbers add up: V=10 R=10 , 100 , 1000 A=X 1. 10=(x)(10) A=1 2. 10=(x)(100) A=0.1 3. 10=(x)(1000) A=0.01 The higher the resistance = the LOWER THE CURRENT.

    This is amazing. I have a question though. why does a resistor have to be on the positive lead? I understand that the assumption of the current direction ( from +ve to -ve ) was a mistake bcuz scientists when they were first working with electricity, they didn't know about the structure of an atom. Shouldn't we adopt the correct direction then to prevent the LED from burning out? which is from -ve to +ve? (Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to provide)

    if you take the example of a hydraulic pipe then when the flow of the water is resisted hence creating pressure and the same happens with resistors then shouldn't the voltage shoot up in relation with the flow of electrons? just like when you press the tube of a vinyl pipe when water is flowing through it?
