    This is a highly simplified description of how electricity works. For anyone curious about a more thorough explanation, I recommend this video by Veritasium: ua-cam.com/video/oI_X2cMHNe0/v-deo.html

    At LAST!!! An explanation without any confusion, or "jumps" to a next item without establishing clearly the last concept. THANK YOU Afrotechmods!

    Finally a clear but not oversimplified explanation in that matter.

    So good. the ease with which you've explained difficult concepts to complete beginners is an indication of the mastery you have on this subject. Like an elite footballer controlling the ball and making it look easy, or a master martial artist taking down an agressor with a couple of 'simple' moves in a few seconds.

    Excellent and well delivered presentations! Thank you so much for taking the effort and time to create these videos.

    I've been teaching myself electronics for the last month or so and I just wanted to say thank you. Out of all the resources I've found so far you make it easy to understand. Liked and subbed!

  • @MrVecheater
    @MrVecheater 3 роки тому +2

    This is the electronics introduction I've always been waiting for
    I finally understand what electricity actually is and have an idea why it works
    My only criticism is that you talk a bit fast. I needed to pause the video a lot. But I like how you explained everything just enough for me to understand what you're talking about

  • @8yerbrain
    @8yerbrain 12 років тому

    It's the subtle use of humor that sets your videos apart, and makes them not just very informative, but fun to watch too. Your hard work is appreciated! :)

    Very helpful series! (I should have watched them all in order, but here I am at the beginning! haha) Fun fact: in Portuguese and Spanish a switch is called an interruptor- makes sense because it interrupts the flow of electrons!

  • @Afrotechmods
    @Afrotechmods  12 років тому

    @Kurtreidable With DC, the current only ever flows in one direction. With AC, the current flows forwards then backwards repeatedly. Hence "alternating" current.
