Yes, indeed, thank you. No music is good. Your information is presented clearly and concisely. I wish I had a better memory. I'm glad I can watch it more than once. Thanks again, James. doug
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
As a computer science student who builds prototype and code on them this will help me a lot. I hope you could make more similar videos on pnp npn transistors. Diodes and ways of designing a pcb. Congratulations man you got a subscriber
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
What ? i was about to order the mug, that's bullshit , I would even go to the point of saying, it's fuckin Un Australian Unlike you, i won't survive, i mean .......without the mug....... I will have to rely on the charts in my Jaycar Catalogue :P it's just not the same
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.
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...
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'

Not only have I liked, and am now subscribing to your channel, but I have just purchased your incredible guide to resistors. Thank you for putting this information out. I love creating spreadsheets, so I will be using a lot of this information to create a spreadsheet to input colors and have the totals calculated automatically. I have created a number of spreadsheets for inputting (such as), how many 18650's in total do I need to create a battery pack, and how many batteries will I need in series and parallel for an intended target of Ah and voltage. I put in a couple numbers and save myself about 10 minutes of using a calculator, and instead get my answer in 2 seconds (awesome). This information will enable me to create another spreadsheet for sizing up the correct resistor/s needed in a project. I love electronics and spread-sheeting, so this should be fun.
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.
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 🤙
Great video with in-depth details others would leave out. Especially the potentiometer was well explained for me. Please do transistors next. I would 100% buy a transistor mug.
@@idonjohnson6999 You can't measure, but theoretically, someone has to be the person to have payed the most attention, regardless of the number of people.
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.
I tried to enlist into the Air Force back in 1983 and learn electronics . Based on my ASVAB score , the recruiter told me that I " tentatively qualify for any of the Air Force jobs " . Tentatively because I still had to pass a physical . The following week they scheduled me for the physical , whereupon I failed the test for how well you can see colors . So that disqualified me from obtaining any of the high tech jobs offered by the Air Force . Probably they're concerned with someone not being able to read color codes - like on those resistors . Well , that ended my foray into the military . But as a former radio amateur , I do appreciate those resistors .
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.
This should be required watching/reading for quite literally anyone who every opened anything electrical in nature and wondered how it worked. Well done. Up next... Transistors, Diodes and Capacitors OH MY!
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!!
I subbed pretty quickly. I like the vibe and teaching style. Do you have a plan for this channel, or is it more whatever interests you at the time? The upload history seems centered around diy/repair.
Unfortunately no plan at the moment, it will be mostly diy and repair explanations from now on, but at the moment im bouncing around different trades, as opposed to focusing on just one.
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.
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?
Not only NPN and PNP, those are Bipolar Junction Transistors, however there are FETs transistors, and IGBTs transistors, theres much more to be said, potentially a future video, thanks for the suggestion.
Could you please give us a full demonstration on how to properly use a oscilloscope? Thank you! New subscriber! PS I purchased your digital resistor guide.👍
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?
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?
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
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.
I’ve watched a lot of vids on resistors and imo this one was presented the best 👍
I want more guides like that for capacitors, diodes and coils.
Excellent video. Not for dummies. Great narration and no stupid music, goofy jokes or worthless filler. I'm subscribing

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

Only the older 'roundies' are unstable. You make it sound like all carbon composition resistors are

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.
Can we get a capacitor video

I prefer the tan resistors because they look nice.
I know this is a week ago; but I’ll just make it easy to understand: thingamagig that makes current slower so it makes it lower power.
