Been using resistors for 13 years in my projects but you just taught me so much more. I hope you turn this into a series and do this with all electrical components
Great video, this can help with beginners that are new to electronics. Although I have been using resister since the 1970'ss that my grandfather taught me about _early electronics_ radio valves! Even that resistor with dark brown coating looks like it's over 60 years old!
You responded 2 years to a question I had about the "physical" relationship of power, current, and resistance, in the form of this video. You even directly linked my question. Good sir, thank you. Life update: I now work in the superconducting field, so even though this knowledge is invaluable, I effectively try to achieve the OPPOSITE of this concept lol. Thanks.
This video was perfect for me (a complete layman) to get a good understanding of exactly what they do. They can be extremely simple, somewhat complex and smart, but absolutely necessary in so many cases. Side note; What a beautiful world we live in. The deeper you look at something, the more you want to find. But the more you do find, the more interesting and exciting (and often complex) it gets! There’s so many pools of knowledge and information in everything around us if you have a look. One day I’m extremely interested in a video about the engineering and evolution of a soda can, and the next it’s a resistor.
Back in the late 1970's, I put in a whole semester learning about resistors, and learned about 90 percent of that semester in this video! Plus the resistors back then were the carbon variety, unless you worked with industrial (1 percent) resistors. They were blue colored with black value numbers on them.
I went to Naval Avionics School in 1972 and all I remember working with resistors that were carbon and wire wound. I worked in a TV repair shop a few years before that at 16. We actually had some electronics classes in the high school I went to. They sure don’t teach that in high school anymore. I worked in electronics all but a few years of my work career. Worked on some cool things from oil well logging tools for 8 years and then 31 years in telecom working on digital transport all over Alaska and some overseas.
i think its kind of crazy really, my professor was talking about how there used to be an entire class on just motors but now its just a sub category in one of my classes. let alone a resistor. now its kind of just a given
I was hesitant in watching this thinking I knew everything already. I quickly found out that I had so much more to learn, and I even went back and watched portions over and over again. What can I say? I just couldn’t resist! Instant subscriber...
Breaking everything down in bullet points and clear cut explanations is why these are fantastic educational videos, my man. I know absolutely nothing about engineering, always had a interest, and this indeed helped a lot. Keep it up brother
Hello Sir, What a teaching Talent you have, i went through the 200+ videos in 3 weeks, so much value, iam so grateful to you, and appreciate you effort. Wanted to ask if you could make more videos on Data Centers main components like Power distributions Units(PDUs), and unrepeatables power supply (UPSs). Hero, more people like you should be on this world.
I believe the resistor placement doesn't matter. This is as you said because it creates sort of a barrier slowing down the flow, and it'll be slowed either before or after the LED. If it's slowed after the LED there's still that sort of "Jam" no matter what. I also believe the resistor shown has a resistance of 1200 Ohms with a tolerance of + - 2%.
I had also determined 1.2k +/- 2%. Unfortunately, the color code of low tolerance type resistors is often disambiguous - that is why I always measure them to be sure...
I would use gauge invariance to argue that what is down or up flow is only a question of definitions and have no physical significance. I think this is mathematically equivalent to your explanation, even in transitive states.
I also determined 1.2k ohms. That's because when he asked the question in the video, he had the resistor one way, and then when he answered the question, he flipped the resistor for some reason. That meant we looked at the colored bands backwards. I'm not sure if there is an easy way to know which direction is the right one, but for a training video, it would have been nice to have it lined up properly.
it technically does not, but if you place it after, and the positive terminal of the LED shorts, the led is bust. while, if you put it before and it shorts, nothing happens as the negative terminal is cut off by the burnt resistor
This is amazing! I have long understood the very basics of why to use resistors but not the details, not _how_ they work or how to read their markings. Incredibly useful information for a newcomer to electronics, thank you.
I'm not an engineer (of any description) but I found your video extremely tutorial and easy to comprehend. Thank you for being a good teacher. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪.

Didn’t think that getting into building guitars would lead me here, but here I am. Thank you! Very well articulated without being too ‘wordy’ and fantastic visuals to go along with it. Great stuff!
OMG THANK YOU! Been trying to get my head around resistors for years and gave up several times. Because I couldn't get my head around how they dissipate heat or how to work this out. I always thought that the more work a resistor has to do, the hotter it would get, because it has to resist more... but this is completely wrong! It's the amount of current it lets through that causes the heat and things make sense to me now. I've always shied away from voltage dividers because of my lack of understanding in this, and keeping my circuits simple and using external components such as buck convertors to do what I wanted.
Love the video as usual! Would you kindly next time put the relevant table on the screen with the resistor in question so I can try to answer them without having to jump between frames, thanks!! Have a great day.
one of the best videos on youtube, i think i will have a good time of learning new things in this channel, especially in electricity things which i am a beginner
This has to be the best channel I've ever discovered. I've been learning Arduino for less than a month now and your videos have helped me so so much. Thank you !
It's amazing that not a single electronics / electrical professor in my College days weren't able to explain what a resistor is in this way so students would actually understand .. no student is dumb .. it requires a good teacher to make good engineers

I'm a bit confused in the water analogy at 1:55. Technically if you cover a part of the water stream, it would go faster and shoot out further (incompressible fluid flow)
Your assumption is only valid if the speed of the water pre-obstruction was constant. But, on that model, if you cover the whole channel, the speed of the stream would be infinite, which is obviously impossible. So, the higher the resistance (the covering of the channel), the lower the current (the water stream after the covering), for the same voltage (the height of the water pre-covering or pressure).
You forgot temperature coefficient, which is usually indicated after the tolerance band. There are a lot of applications where a low tempco is more important than a low initial tolerance. Carbon comp resistors are still relevant in high frequency applications where any stray inductance is undesirable.
One of the things that drove me crazy when making the transition to surface mount is the rather dismal tempco of common 1% SM resistors - typically ±100 ppm/K. I was used to 50 ppm with the Philips leaded resistors I generally used. If you want decent tempco in SM resitors you're into 0.1% or better tolerance (which I often did want along with low tempco). Carbon comp _are_ low inductance but they also tend to have relatively high capacitance, so you lose on one hand what you gain on the other. They are a lot more tolerant of transient overload than film types. Their excess noise (i.e. beyond Johnson noise) can be a problem. The reality is that resistors demand careful attention when you are doing demanding work. I ran across another resistor video a while back, talking specifically about 1% leaded resistors available on ebay. One commenter insisted that you should be able to make your circuits work with 10% tolerance parts. Sigh!
@@d614gakadoug9 What was the context of that other comment? Current limiting for an LED? Pull up or pull down resistors? Biasing a transistor or valve? With very few exceptions (usually frequency-dependent or high resolution current sensing, and you're likely to know _when_ you need the tighter tolerances), it's good practice to design for 10% tolerance and specify 1% resistors and 5% capacitors. The common examples listed above typically work just fine even is a resistor is 20% out.
I have a four year degree in electrical engineering. If they got rid of the fluff and taught us things we actually needed to know, it could have been one year. Some professors need to watch this video and ask whether they are giving their students the best style of education.
I love how u zoom in on each component, plus showing the designs are great and shows different ways to get an idea of everything. I don't have any peices yet but I'm using a simulator so trying to get used to the symbols is not easy but it'll all pay off eventually and I'll be more familiar when I get all the components
Regarding the multiplier, it is easier to use the same colour codes as the main digits. For example Orange Orange Brown is 3, 3, 1. So, 33 and ONE Zero = 330 ohms. Orange Orange Black is 3, 3, and ZERO Zeros = 33 ohms. This is much easier than using a "multipler" since you don't need to look up the chart to find a multiplier, then use math to multiply anything... instead just add however many zeros is applicable. The exception is lower value with Silver and Gold multipliers, where the chart is needed.
this is just scientific notation in disguise! I was disappointed that there seemed to be no space for resistances less than 1 Ohm... I guess they aren't useful in this form factor?
While this is correct, I have to say that the multiplier in the lookup table just means "times ten to the power of n", where n is the multiplier number. From ◼️ black or "0", with ×10⁰ up to ⬜️ white or "9" with ×10⁹. With the special cases of 🟨 gold with ×10⁻¹ and ⬜️ silver with ×10⁻² Of course in the decimal system that just corresponds to the number of digits you shift the decimal point. That's the point why they've chosen these numbers anyways. Tipp: If you have difficulties to memorise which way around the gold and silver one are: think of medals. Gold is 1st place, so "1" or "×10⁻¹". Silver is 2nd, so "2" or "×10⁻²".
Yeah sure. I do it the same way. But Gold and Silver multiplier aren't that hard either if you know how they're made up. To be fair though they aren't that common.
14:53 I think something is mixed up here. 9V / 10 Ohm = 0.9A, not 0,018A. That was the only thing that confused me, otherwise absolute great video. I am learning a lot with your explanations!
I think it's worth mentioning that the potentiometer type designation with letters in 15:18 varies depending on the country and manufacturer. For example, in Europe, "A" means linear and "B" means logarithmic. Additionally, except to these two types, there is another non-linear one, which is inverse to logarithmic and in Europe is marked with the letter "C".
@@EngineeringMindset Of course, especially the fragment starting at 3:29 ;-) . I watch all your videos, even if many of them cover topics that are familiar to me. I can always learn something interesting from them or simply refresh my existing knowledge. I also recommend your videos to my colleagues. Thank you for your effort and I wish you all the best :-)
Though I have no interest in engineering, I do work as a parts inspector at a company that distributes electronic components, and often times we see resistors much like the ones shown in this video! I usually have no idea what these parts are used for or how they work, so I'm always trying to learn about what I see on a daily basis. Lovely informational video!
You always make such high quality content and listening to your voice never gets tiring, you inspire me to be a better engineer with your channel content!
I find it easier to think of the multiplier as "the number of zeros after it." If you think about it, that's what it is in both band code and normal surface mount code.
First of all, fenomenal video, i learned a lot from it, i paused a lot, i rewinded a lot to make sure i understand. I also enjoyed so much the questions you gave us in the video. I failed the third one, i don't know if it was an intentional trick or not, but when you ask the question at 9:38 the resistor is shown with the brown line first so i starter to read from there, not noticing it was backwards.
I‘ve been delving into this again and you definitely have inspired me. I went through some training in the military but now I‘ve forgotten most of that . It was not something I needed to keep up with. Thank You and keep them coming.
such thorough, well organized, and great visuals type of video... gained such a complete understanding from this video even though i already consider myself knowledgeable... thanks
Been doing electronics as a professional since 1974. Member of Audio Engineering Society! The Volts, Amps & Ohms imagined here is of course wrong but works fine in nearly all applications except transmission lines and radio.
Well, I found a new channel to sub to. Understanding electricity is on my bucket list. Somehow this method of explanation is really conducive to my ability to process and understand. In the future, I plan on watching a ton of these videos.
Despite my dissatisfaction with science, this entertained me, I might get myself into the process of this part of science, and maybe make a thing myself. Maybe a box, or something that lights up a room depending on how much you turn the dial. Thank you for entertaining me and my ADHD.
I worked in a factory from 1988-1997 in Huntington, Indiana. It was called Memcor-Tru-ohm. We made resistors and rehostats. From welding the little lead wires on the caps on the end of the ceramic tube, called the capper. Then they went to winding department, and depending on what the customer wanted, that determined the gauge of copper wire that was used, how many times it got wrapped. Kinda reminded me of a sewing machine/lathe/welder combination. Winding rehostats was a totally different machine, but the same ohms law applies to rehostats too, wire gauge, times wound. Rehostats were more labor than resistors. They had to hand weld the connecting bands on before winding, then it had to get cemented to its ceramic base after coating and firing the glaze. Bigger resistors had to go through a hand brushing department to remove the ceramic coating after being dipped in mud slurry and allowed to dry 24 hours. Then they got put through the oven and baked. After baking, the terminal was sandblasted to remove the ceramic. Then it was stamped or color marked, packed and shipped. The smaller resistors got coated too, but in an automated machine that was 20ft long.

That spiral cut means that the inductance is higher than you would expect if you were thinking in terms of a continuous film.

Thank you.
You forgot temperature coefficient, which is usually indicated after the tolerance band. There are a lot of applications where a low tempco is more important than a low initial tolerance.
Carbon comp resistors are still relevant in high frequency applications where any stray inductance is undesirable.
One of the things that drove me crazy when making the transition to surface mount is the rather dismal tempco of common 1% SM resistors - typically ±100 ppm/K. I was used to 50 ppm with the Philips leaded resistors I generally used. If you want decent tempco in SM resitors you're into 0.1% or better tolerance (which I often did want along with low tempco).
Carbon comp _are_ low inductance but they also tend to have relatively high capacitance, so you lose on one hand what you gain on the other. They are a lot more tolerant of transient overload than film types. Their excess noise (i.e. beyond Johnson noise) can be a problem.
The reality is that resistors demand careful attention when you are doing demanding work.
I ran across another resistor video a while back, talking specifically about 1% leaded resistors available on ebay. One commenter insisted that you should be able to make your circuits work with 10% tolerance parts. Sigh!
@@d614gakadoug9 What was the context of that other comment? Current limiting for an LED? Pull up or pull down resistors? Biasing a transistor or valve? With very few exceptions (usually frequency-dependent or high resolution current sensing, and you're likely to know _when_ you need the tighter tolerances), it's good practice to design for 10% tolerance and specify 1% resistors and 5% capacitors. The common examples listed above typically work just fine even is a resistor is 20% out.
Thank you so much. Very helpful. I learned more than in 4 years of high school
I have a four year degree in electrical engineering. If they got rid of the fluff and taught us things we actually needed to know, it could have been one year. Some professors need to watch this video and ask whether they are giving their students the best style of education.
as long as you pay they don't care after that.
I love how u zoom in on each component, plus showing the designs are great and shows different ways to get an idea of everything. I don't have any peices yet but I'm using a simulator so trying to get used to the symbols is not easy but it'll all pay off eventually and I'll be more familiar when I get all the components
All I can say is that I experienced a lot of resistance watching this video! Well executed TEM! 💥💥
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just now started studying electricity, so this is great that you're offering this education! I inspire to move to Europe and become an electrician
This video is hard to resist. 😀
Thanks to the blogger for his wonderful sharing, which gave me a preliminary understanding of resistors.
Regarding the multiplier, it is easier to use the same colour codes as the main digits.
For example Orange Orange Brown is 3, 3, 1. So, 33 and ONE Zero = 330 ohms. Orange Orange Black is 3, 3, and ZERO Zeros = 33 ohms.
This is much easier than using a "multipler" since you don't need to look up the chart to find a multiplier, then use math to multiply anything... instead just add however many zeros is applicable.
The exception is lower value with Silver and Gold multipliers, where the chart is needed.
double that!
this is just scientific notation in disguise! I was disappointed that there seemed to be no space for resistances less than 1 Ohm... I guess they aren't useful in this form factor?
While this is correct, I have to say that the multiplier in the lookup table just means "times ten to the power of n", where n is the multiplier number. From
◼️ black or "0", with ×10⁰ up to
⬜️ white or "9" with ×10⁹.
With the special cases of
🟨 gold with ×10⁻¹ and
⬜️ silver with ×10⁻²
Of course in the decimal system that just corresponds to the number of digits you shift the decimal point. That's the point why they've chosen these numbers anyways.
Tipp:
If you have difficulties to memorise which way around the gold and silver one are: think of medals. Gold is 1st place, so "1" or "×10⁻¹". Silver is 2nd, so "2" or "×10⁻²".
@@Kesuaheli - see how much simpler it is to remember _"and two zeros"_ rather than calculating powers?
Yeah sure. I do it the same way.
But Gold and Silver multiplier aren't that hard either if you know how they're made up. To be fair though they aren't that common.
I've seen these hundreds of times and never knew wtf they were. Thanks!
pov : its 3 am
ok
@user-cg3sl8zu5c maybe doing stuff :)
So true. I am watching this VERY late in the night.
2:56 😮😅
Fr
*its 3 am here too and I don't know why I'm awake*
I have no other words to say than it is very impressive 👏
A work of art explanation ❤
14:53 I think something is mixed up here. 9V / 10 Ohm = 0.9A, not 0,018A.
That was the only thing that confused me, otherwise absolute great video. I am learning a lot with your explanations!
Yeah, accidentally put answer on wrong side. Correction in video description
@@EngineeringMindset Ok good.
The simplicity is what I think is so amazing here.
I think it's worth mentioning that the potentiometer type designation with letters in 15:18 varies depending on the country and manufacturer. For example, in Europe, "A" means linear and "B" means logarithmic. Additionally, except to these two types, there is another non-linear one, which is inverse to logarithmic and in Europe is marked with the letter "C".
Seen our new Potentiometer Explained video? ➡️ ua-cam.com/video/Xb-MZMoUtcQ/v-deo.html
@@EngineeringMindset Of course, especially the fragment starting at 3:29 ;-) . I watch all your videos, even if many of them cover topics that are familiar to me. I can always learn something interesting from them or simply refresh my existing knowledge. I also recommend your videos to my colleagues. Thank you for your effort and I wish you all the best :-)
Though I have no interest in engineering, I do work as a parts inspector at a company that distributes electronic components, and often times we see resistors much like the ones shown in this video! I usually have no idea what these parts are used for or how they work, so I'm always trying to learn about what I see on a daily basis. Lovely informational video!
You always make such high quality content and listening to your voice never gets tiring, you inspire me to be a better engineer with your channel content!
Thank you, very glad to hear
Your videos are so helpful for refreshing the basics of electronics. I’d love some videos on DC-DC converters
Join The Resistance! C'mon people who's with me?
Stuff like this is what makes youtube a valuable platform!
Thanks for your time bro!
I find it easier to think of the multiplier as "the number of zeros after it." If you think about it, that's what it is in both band code and normal surface mount code.
Oh my science, I'm in heaven. I been looking for this for years
the resistor should be placed before the bulb
I couldn't resist watching this video. I was looking for a CURRENT video on these things.. now I'm all AMPED up!
If you occlude the water pipe then the water would shoot out a farther distance, not shorter.
your explanations are so logical and easy to follow. Thanks
Been wondering for a while now how these things work. Now I know. Really appreciate the video, and keep up the great work :)
it is been explained very clearly and smoothly. I hope I will be able to design my electronic circuit one day. thank you thank you.
I should have become a electrician 😢
Still can. Or, just learn electronics as a hobby. My tutorials show you how
@@EngineeringMindset I think I will take it up as a hobby
Great video. I saved it and I'll watch it again and again as I proceed in my 'electronic' trip.
First of all, fenomenal video, i learned a lot from it, i paused a lot, i rewinded a lot to make sure i understand. I also enjoyed so much the questions you gave us in the video. I failed the third one, i don't know if it was an intentional trick or not, but when you ask the question at 9:38 the resistor is shown with the brown line first so i starter to read from there, not noticing it was backwards.
Wow, your explanations are so logical and easy to follow.
I've learned from your video about pnp and npn and whole transistors, thanks for your sharing
Absolutely excellent video. Learned so much, both theoretical and practical. Great channel.
What a great channel, im giving exams in a month and found you. Thank you!
I‘ve been delving into this again and you definitely have inspired me. I went through some training in the military but now I‘ve forgotten most of that . It was not something I needed to keep up with. Thank You and keep them coming.
this video deserves more, good work bud
Practically smashed the subject of resistors to pieces, great lecture, thanks 🥰
Man!. The must comprehensive and informative video for resistors. Than you very much. I learned a lot today.
This video gave me more useful info than my professor gave me in a whole semester❤
such thorough, well organized, and great visuals type of video... gained such a complete understanding from this video even though i already consider myself knowledgeable... thanks
I can't believe I watched this video for free, this is a very impressive video, very amazing,, success as always
Been doing electronics as a professional since 1974. Member of Audio Engineering Society!
The Volts, Amps & Ohms imagined here is of course wrong but works fine in nearly all applications except transmission lines and radio.
GREAT presentation. I got it the first time. The second time, I thought I could teach it. The third time, I could claim I invented it. WOW.
Well, I found a new channel to sub to. Understanding electricity is on my bucket list. Somehow this method of explanation is really conducive to my ability to process and understand.
In the future, I plan on watching a ton of these videos.
Terrific Vid. Thank you for this information. Easily the best tutorial about resistors on UA-cam.
Despite my dissatisfaction with science, this entertained me, I might get myself into the process of this part of science, and maybe make a thing myself. Maybe a box, or something that lights up a room depending on how much you turn the dial. Thank you for entertaining me and my ADHD.
videolarınızı ilgi ile izliyorum. Animasyonlar harika olmuş. Emeğinize sağlık.
I worked in a factory from 1988-1997 in Huntington, Indiana.
It was called Memcor-Tru-ohm.
We made resistors and rehostats.
From welding the little lead wires on the caps on the end of the ceramic tube, called the capper.
Then they went to winding department, and depending on what the customer wanted, that determined the gauge of copper wire that was used, how many times it got wrapped. Kinda reminded me of a sewing machine/lathe/welder combination.
Winding rehostats was a totally different machine, but the same ohms law applies to rehostats too, wire gauge, times wound.
Rehostats were more labor than resistors.
They had to hand weld the connecting bands on before winding, then it had to get cemented to its ceramic base after coating and firing the glaze.
Bigger resistors had to go through a hand brushing department to remove the ceramic coating after being dipped in mud slurry and allowed to dry 24 hours.
Then they got put through the oven and baked.
After baking, the terminal was sandblasted to remove the ceramic.
Then it was stamped or color marked, packed and shipped.
The smaller resistors got coated too, but in an automated machine that was 20ft long.
