You're such a prolific tutorial poster! It's difficult to keep up with all of your great tutorials. Thanks for the informative, well-presented educational material.
This is so good, I wish these videos were out when I was studying electrical engineering, many people can benefit from these videos. Keep up the great work!
You really should have taught my electronics class in college! Excellent write-up clear and concise ! I would suggest to make some videos on the java -ee / web frameworks (Spring, Hibernate) even play for scala. Thanks for the effort!
+Derek Banas Thanks to your tutorials soon i'll have a decent looking version of my android app(+ webapp that goes with it) if you care to critique give some feedback as soon as i get it fully functional ( you now have nice graphics) i'll send you a link for beta testing. Thanks again for all the knowledge you share
This is some amazing stuff.Going to go uni next year to study electrical and electronics so decided to learn some now.Got any tips for studying electrical and electronics at uni? Also what kind of projects would impress a uni interviewer? Thanks for these amazing videos👍. You just got a new subscriber.
Thank you for the compliment :) I need to get back to this tutorial soon. While studying electronics I think the most important thing is to have fun and to let your interests lead you. You can literally do most anything with electronics. As you gain knowledge from creating more and more projects you'll naturally be drawn to create more and more advanced projects. Making something impressive will come naturally if you just work at it a little each day.
Derek Banas Thanks👊. Can you recommend any good cheap books or preferebly a free web resource to learn electronics from scratch.Currently my knowledge is limited to A2 Physics(Uk) and A2 maths(uk).
Here are some free books www.e-booksdirectory.com/listing.php?category=299 Getting started in electronics is an excellent cheap book amzn.to/2eSlhsj The Make books are also great
At 6:30 you say "electrons" flow out of the capacitor into the resistor and then light up the LED. Isn't that the direction of current flow? The positive flow of charge? Electron flow will actually light up the LED first and then go through the resistor. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.
+Derek Banas Wonderful tutorial on electronics. by the way,cCould you tell me what is the name of the program you used to make the diagrams and if is available for windows? thanks in advance.
+JMBBproject Thank you :) I have only played with Tcl. 90% of what I use includes JavaScript, Java, Python, PHP, C++, C, C# and Objective C. That includes the numerous projects I work on at universities. Occasionally I use Lua, Haskell and Ruby.
I remember when I was in Middle School I opened up my DreamCast (by SEGA) and put a fork between two capacitors and it shocked me and the DreamCast never turned on again haha.
Just a great job! Really appreciate you step by step approach ad detailed videos. Two questions please: Any chance of showing some of the effects of capacitance using a scope? You gave one link for hardware, they were somewhat limited in what they had do you have any other reliable sources for components? Thanks so much again. Dick
+TheDickw Thank you :) Yes eventually I'm going to build an oscilloscope in a tutorial and then I'll use it in videos. I can also use iCircuit because it has one built in. I normally buy big boxes of components and then find everything else on EBay. As you get more into electronics you'll soon find that there are strange components that can only be had from a very limited number of suppliers. I just search online until I find them.
Hi Derek , Thank you so much for your nice tutorials. i was wondering if i can ask you to provide ios Development Tutorial too? btw , you with your nice work, make a better world!
Very nice! would love to add your courses on my online learning platform which will open soon! you will get all the credit and recognition, what do you think?
Hey man! I have a question for you. Next year I have to pick my subjects in high school. I want to become a software engineer and I want to ask you what you think I should pick as subjects? Thanks. :)
+Nutella Nuts A good programmer is normally very good at math, problem solving and the ability to look at information in many ways. So, any math classes, sciences in general or spoken language study should help a lot. I wish you the best :)
+This Channel Is Abandoned His videos are very helpful, it's not me saying it, ~400 Thousand subscribers say this. If you don't like these videos, just don't watch them, and don't post negative comments.
Nice tutorials. However you keep hitting a pet peeve of mine. You keep saying Silicone diode which is a adhesive jell also used in plastic surgery and confused with Silicon diode where Silicon is fundamentally sand. Close spellings but totally different materials one is a crystal and the name of a Northern California research area the other is used to bond glass for fish tanks. :) :) keep up the good work!
+Marijn Feijten Do you mean at a university? At university I studied electrical engineering and illustration. Outside of school I've studied more topics then I can list off of the top of my head.
+Derek Banas Yes, I meant university. Awesome, electrical engineering is very interesting. My first guess would have been something like a programming course or something. I study Applied Computer Sciences, which covers a lot of topics like this, so i'm really looking forward to your next video!
+Marijn Feijten I'm self taught programming wise aside from what I learned on the job. Yes I see a great benefit from understanding electronics in general and especially for programmers. I have waited to cover electronics for about 3 years. I wanted to make sure I did something original which I think I pretty much have done. They are super fun to make.
+Derek Banas They sure are original and fun to watch. Somethings you've meantioned are the practical applications, which most teachers forget to mention. This makes that me and my friends go like "Ohhhh, that's what that is for". Keep on going man!
First off, I would like to thank you for your videos and effort for making these videos, I want to become an electrical engineer when I'm older (actually attending college this Fall), and I appreciate the knowledge you are passing down to me.However, I am not completely understanding the Capacitor circuit you built. On your breadboard, you attached the negative side of the capacitor to the positive side of the LED, and it still lit up. I am also confused to why you connected 2 jumper wires from the switch straight to the negative terminal. I have no background knowledge with complex circuits and capacitors, so I tried rewatching the video about 30 times, but still don't understand it. Could you please explain it to me? Thanks.
+Shlomo Your welcome :) The easiest way to see what is happening is to watch the iCircuit demonstration in the video. First the capacitor is charged. Then the switch is flipped and the charge leaves the capacitor in the opposite direction from which it was charged. That is why different LEDs light up depending upon the switch. Tell me if that doesn't clear it up.
+Shlomo Also don't worry if you don't catch everything in each video. I will be reviewing everything over again in different ways when I start making more circuits. I'm just providing a overview of all the major components at this time.
+Derek Banas I keep analyzing, or over analyzing, the iCircuit demonstration. I guess I'm still stuck on something: When the battery is used to charge the capacitor, how does positive charge reach the LED? I understand that the negative terminal of the battery is connected to the anode of the LED, however the negative terminal of the capacitor is connected to the cathode of the LED, so I am not understanding how positive charge flows from the positive terminal of the capacitor, to the negative terminal of the capacitor, to the LED. Here is a diagram of what I am talking about: puu.sh/o00SS/30aa90edad.jpg This is how I view it: the positive terminal of the capacitor and the negative terminal of the capacitor are separated, therefore they are not in direct contact. So how could positive charge flow through that LED?
+Shlomo Think of the capacitor as a cup with a small hole in the bottom. As you poor sand into it some sand leaks out of the hole in the bottom, but as it is tightly packed less sand escapes as the cup is filled to the top. When you click the switch it is like dumping out the sand in the opposite direction. Once a capacitor is full it can no longer except a charge and then that charge must exit in the opposite direction.
+Derek Banas How does positive charge from the battery go through the positive terminal of the capacitor, then to the negative terminal of the capacitor. How could there be some electrical "leakage," as you call it?
+24oz Thank you :) I'll try to find it. If I don't respond leave your question here. I get over 5000 emails a day and they some times get lost in my spam filter.
You're a marketing consultant. Why does a marketing consultant have knowledge about all major programming languages and electrical engineering 101? You gotta be the worst marketing consultant there is!
+YDwelve that's funny :) I actually went to school for this stuff. In real life I turn businesses around through a combination of online stores, software development and marketing. I'm one of the few people with a degree in electrical engineering and illustration.
A very nice series of tutorials. Keep up the good work!
+Pär Johansson thank you very much :) Many more are coming soon
+Derek Banas - Okay I did not see tutorial 3...icircuit...thanks...
You're such a prolific tutorial poster! It's difficult to keep up with all of your great tutorials. Thanks for the informative, well-presented educational material.
+Christian Murillo Thank you for the nice compliment :) They are very fun to make. I'm happy that they are helping people.
This is so good, I wish these videos were out when I was studying electrical engineering, many people can benefit from these videos. Keep up the great work!

Mr.Banas i can't thank you enough
+Miran Kamal You're very welcome :) I'm happy you enjoy the videos
You really should have taught my electronics class in college! Excellent write-up clear and concise ! I would suggest to make some videos on the java -ee / web frameworks (Spring, Hibernate) even play for scala. Thanks for the effort!
+dilo00o Thank you :) Spring tutorials are in the works. I have been looking into Play as well.
+Derek Banas Thanks to your tutorials soon i'll have a decent looking version of my android app(+ webapp that goes with it) if you care to critique give some feedback as soon as i get it fully functional ( you now have nice graphics) i'll send you a link for beta testing. Thanks again for all the knowledge you share
+dilo00o I'm very happy that I was able to help :) Sure send me the link and I'll be happy to give my opinion.
Thank you Derek for these Electronics tutorials, will you be making more??? as I'm studying electronics at the moment in high school.
+Dark Defender You're very welcome :) Yes I'm going to make a ton of them. After I cover the basics I'll start making fun stuff.
Derek Banas Much appreciated Derek :) looking forward to studying with you.

Awesome as usual
+GuyusLP Thank you :)
Derek, along with these electronics tutorials, you will cover also assembly and Embedded C ?
+dedantemon Yes both will be covered. I plan on covering everything from the component up.
great stuff
+Paulie Shark Thank you :)
+Derek Banas Wonderful tutorial on electronics. by the way,cCould you tell me what is the name of the program you used to make the diagrams and if is available for windows? thanks in advance.
+João Felipe Thank you :) It is called iCircuit and it is available on everything including mobile devices. It is pretty nice especially for $5
Fantastic
+Masoud Rousta thank you :)
Glad you uploaded another video :)
Btw: Do you know Tcl/Tk and do you think it is a nice "programming language"?
+JMBBproject Thank you :) I have only played with Tcl. 90% of what I use includes JavaScript, Java, Python, PHP, C++, C, C# and Objective C. That includes the numerous projects I work on at universities. Occasionally I use Lua, Haskell and Ruby.

+GodDamnit7711 Capacitors can be very dangerous. I'm going to hold off on covering AC for as long as possible.
+Derek Banas AC circuitry maths is hardcore
جزاك الله خيرا والله اكبر
+Hicham Bougaa بارك الله فيكم وكذلك
+kingwith Outkingdom Thank you very much :) Sadly I don't know Arabic, but I'll learn it some day. The translators are very nice to have.
at 6:35 I thought that capacitor was forward bias, how is it then that current is flowing backwards?
Just a great job! Really appreciate you step by step approach ad detailed videos.
Two questions please:
Any chance of showing some of the effects of capacitance using a scope?
You gave one link for hardware, they were somewhat limited in what they had do you have any other reliable sources for components?
Thanks so much again.

2:40 the symbols are moving and staying still @,@ my eyes hahahaXD thank you for the video
+ricardo22448 I'm doing all kinds of crazy video tricks in this series. Sorry if that is distracting. I'm glad you liked it aside from that :)
Hi Derek , Thank you so much for your nice tutorials. i was wondering if i can ask you to provide ios Development Tutorial too? btw , you with your nice work, make a better world!
+Angela Francoeur You're very welcome :) I plan on covering cross platform mobile development soon including iOS. Sorry it is taking so long.
+Derek Banas Thanks Derek :) that would be great but i meant Native Development Tutorial for iOS with Xcode please
are you going to cover inductors too, in the future?
+Robert Preda Yes the next video will be all about transistors. The one after that will be about inductors.
Very nice! would love to add your courses on my online learning platform which will open soon! you will get all the credit and recognition, what do you think?
+Youssef KH Thank you :) Feel free to embed any of my videos and you can copy the transcript, images, or what ever else you need.
Derek Banas Awesome :) I love what you keep it ;) and I will notify you when it's live!
and you could even manage students taking your courses ;)
Another good way to remember Ohms Law is: Very Important Rule (VIR)
Thank you for sharing :)
great job.we want more!!!:D by the way,what soft do u use to do circuits?
+dagh DQH Many more are coming. I'm using iCircuit here
Love your videos! I have a request though, could you please make a Django tutorial for python? Not explaining, but in a real world scenario. Please?
+H Gore Thank you :) It is on the list, but I'm considering moving it up because of all the requests I've received.
+Derek Banas Sound great! If you could, for the real world example create a simple rehearsing program. Something like WRTS maybe.
My god you know he'll a lot of stuff
+aokaddaoc Everything I know is very similar. It just seems diverse.
+Derek Banas Programming and electronics are much alike - agree.
Combine those two and you can do amazing things!
You seem modest.
hi guys, the best results that i've had was with the Gregs Electro Blog (i found it on google) definately the best info that I have ever followed.
Can you make a tutorial or something on data recovering in the future?
Thanks. :)
+Nutella Nuts I'll see what I can do
Hey man! I have a question for you.
Next year I have to pick my subjects in high school. I want to become a software engineer and I want to ask you what you think I should pick as subjects?

hye Derek how are you man love your work and can you plz share the link of the website of i circuit software
Thank you :) Here it is icircuitapp.com/
Nice tutorials. However you keep hitting a pet peeve of mine.

Thank you :) Sorry for the error
still confused how you knew a) when to add a resistor b) what resistor to use. please help , really struggling with this
Which software are you using for circuit modelling here? Cheers.
iCircuit
May I ask what you've studied?
