  • In this video I will explain basic electronics for beginners in 15 steps. Getting started with basic electronics is easier than you might think. This video will hopefully demystify the basics of electronics so that anyone with an interest in building circuits can hit the ground running.
    This is a quick overview into practical electronics and it is not my goal to delve deeply into the science of electrical engineering. If you are interested in learning more about the science of basic electronics, this channel is a good place to start your search. By the end of this video, anyone with an interest to learn basic electronics should be able to read a schematic and build a circuit using standard electronic components.
    00:41 Step 1: Electricity
    01:52 Step 2: Circuits
    02:17 Step 3: Series and Parallel
    02:47 Step 4: Resistors

    I liked this brief introduction to electronic circuit design and components. I am a rank beginner. It went fast but that’s ok, I can re-watch or turn to more in-depth segments. As for the EE’s out there who are trying to catch every little oversimplification, I would say, refer to the title of the vid. I am deeply appreciative that someone would take the time to prepare and post this info, it takes time and talent. Thanks! Now I can build concepts on these basics on my way to building a guitar amplifier. And yes, I will be careful with the filter capacitors.

    LDR Photo electric - is this a simple on off switch? If I shine a laser at it, it keeps the contacts closed allowing current to flow. If i remove the light source, it stops the current. Can I put this into a simple setup (example, the tamper circuit of an alarm system) and if the laser light is tripped, set off the alarm?

    60 cycles per second is Hertz in frequency. One cycle goes from zero to positive then back negative to zero, that is only one half of a cycle.
    The author here is wrong about 60 hertz being 120 cycles.

    Without the led spec sheet I would assume it draws 20 mA. The battery is 9 volts, R=E/I ohms law so the resistor you use is 9 volts divided by .020 amps which is 450 ohms. Your 330 ohms would run it a little hot. This is basic design engineering.

      Electrical and electronics have a crossover point is the first thing to understand. Point of the power supply tends to be the cut off points. Also, electronics gets very deep when we get into rf analogue, digital etc. Suggest you find a place you are happy at. Much of the stuff one learns at college will never be used in real life, but the principles are important in other stuff even if it is not obvious to start with.

I am currently stuck on what ( size) Diode I need for a Cordless Drill size motor to a small 2x 12v Battery pack. I saw a vid that said a ‘’blocking Diode’’ is what is used to stop electricity going back to the Gene from battery, but you say in this vid that Diodes block, not specifying a ‘’blocking’’ diode. So are all Diodes’’blocking’’ ones?, also could you or anyone pls tell me what size ( ‘’blocking’’ ?) Diode I would need for my above mini Wind Gene? I would really appreciate some advice with this, as it is to part power my flat.

How much of a load is going to be required? Until you can answer all of the relevant questions ACCURATELY, folly is probably inevitable.

      It is at a level now that is very proprietary. About two decades ago micro miniaturization was accomplished by establishing a interior composite of a component on diagram media and that component and all of its neighbors were reduced down photographically to be extremely small. Much smaller than the component it was modeled after.

    Correction please:
    DC is not a signal. Signal must be Time-variant.
    Thank you😊

    What happens if you dont use a resister on an LED circuit?

    • @eeapplications
      @eeapplications  Рік тому +1

      LED will be damaged because high current will flow.

      if your supplying the led with voltage higher than that of the maximum rating for said led without a resistor then it will indeed blow

      Connect more LEDs in serie, total LEDs voltage aproximatly equal to source voltage.

      Resistors like capacitors and other components have names,
      Names that are functional but may seem confusing
      Things like
      Current Limiting Resistor
      Step Down Transformer
      Bulk Filter Capacitor
      Smoothing Capacitor
      NOW..... Even though, simply stated, we are only talking about a standard
      Capacitor here
      or a Standard Resistor
      or a standard Transformer
      THE NAME IS GIVEN AS A RESULT OF IT'S FUNCTION OR PURPOSE IN THE CIRCUIT OF THAT PART OF THE CIRCUIT
      in the example of a Smoothing Capacitor, it's function is to smooth out ripples in the voltage HENCE THE NAME
      in the case of the transistor, it takes a higher voltage (say 240V AC)
      it reduces it (STEPS DOWN) to say 16V AC on the secondary coil,
      hence the name
      now.. this resistor is called A CURRENT LIMITING RESISTOR because it is put in circuit to LIMIT THE CURRENT going to the LED
      now let's examine your question
      "What happens if you dont use a resister on an LED circuit?"
      SCIENTIFIC AND LITERAL ANSWER :
      Your current will not be limited going to the resistor
      OVER LAMEN ANSWER :
      Shit will blow up
      REALISTIC ANSWER BUT NOT TOO ENGINEERING LEVEL:
      depending on a few factors and considering ohm's law, Your LED might not blow up and you might get lucky, but if you do , Over time the lifespan of your LED will greatly reduce.
      it is however more likely that your LED will blow up or the filament will go open circuit because LED's are low power devices , You put too much current through them or voltage and you exceed their rating they're likely to fail
      also..... RESISTOR is spelled like this
      also..... the answer depends on WHICH RESISTOR VALUE YOU CHOOSE and which LED you chose
      so... does that help you understand
      The Take away is....
      YOU ADD THE RESISTOR, YOU LIMIT THE CURRENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROTECTING THE LED
      YOU TAKE THE RESISTOR AWAY AND YOU LET THE CURRENT FLOW FREELY FROM THE SOURCE TO AN UPROTECTED RESISTOR TO SUFFER THE FULL FORCE OF THE VOLTAGE AND CURRENT
      Hope that helps

    dont connect power until you check your work

    You messed up at 12:12 - the resistor is not 330 Ohm.

      Also at 05:55 he states that "the amount of current that passes between these pins is proportional to the voltage being applied at the base pin". It's not. The amout of current at those pins are proportional to the CURRENT being applied at the base pin
