OMG!!! Thank you for this. I'm an artist, and a visual learner. Your visuals have allowed my brain to fully understand a breadboard for the first time. You have a gift for teaching good sir.
I have a science final tomorrow and I need to make a circuit using a breadboard, so this was a huge help. Thank you for making this. You made it so much easier to understand.

This is a very good way of doing experiments. I am a guitarist and I am constantly tone chasing. I will take a breadboard like this (only 4x bigger) and play around with pedals to see what does what. Just going from a .049 mF Orangedrop capacitor to a .030 mF value will change the tone significantly. I will modify pedals, potentiometers and circuits to see what does what. A great tool.
I wish I had seen this channel when I was going through college. XD Just going over this playlist (Simply Electronics Basics) as a refresher. You rock.
nice
Thanks

I have to say, I've always had a fascination with electronics at a level in which I wanted to build things... your videos have inspired me to continue this trek and I've learned quite a bit along the way. Thanks!
I sure want to thank you for taking the time to make this video about breadboard basics. I too have always had a slight interest in electronics, and especially LED basics. I have acquired a breadboard, a power supply, various colored what I would call RAW LED's, some pre-wired LED's and for the immediate time being, a 9V battery and a few 9V battery connector leads. Your video has helped in getting me started in the very basics. I just need to learn how to use the power supply. Thanks very much.

watching this a few times helping me get through my basic Electronics course when I know nothing about it. Thank you
Why do you need a resistor? can you just connect the negative side directly?
ohm's law V = I * R. V = voltage. I = current expressed in amps R = resistance expressed in ohms. resistance of resistors is measured in ohms. small circuitry tends toward low amperage because of heat related issues and economy (cost of wire). in other words if an led needs low amperage in order to light up, then the circuit design is optimized for that amperage, at least, to a degree. without resistance, the component's amperage rating will likely be exceeded. volts will be same as amperes and that may fry the component and bread board. in other words, the thing will possibly reach melting temperature once you understand ohms law then next step is to learn in series vs in parallel circuits and how to figure total resistance and total current
take a low 12 volt battery in a car. To jump the car, the positive terminal connects to the positive terminal and the negative terminal connects to the negative. This is a parallel connection of 2 voltage sources because it is a 2nd circuit. but if you connect positive to negative and negative to positive it will be in series. and that will mean 24 volts, which will fry the car's circuits due to the increase in amperage for which the circuitry was not designed.
@olinwalker8192 I actually had a lesson on this in physics class... I understood perfectly, thank you! ☺️
It would likely burn out the led
Well, if you want a led to emit infrared radiation for a 1 100th of a second, them I would suggest you ignore the resistor.
First video to watch on using a bread board. Last video i need to learn to use a bread board :-D. Very clear and concise.
Thank you so much for actually explaining how it works, rather than just showing us basic circuits! This stuff is so interesting! I can't wait to try this!
This was amazing. I now have a super basic understanding of the skematics I have been looking at. They make sense.
Thank you, I needed a refresher course on how to use my bread board.
Thank u so much I never understand breadboards but always making small diy projects thanks to you now I'm gonna make my projects easier. Thanks.
Hey man! Just saw your video 7 years later and I just wanted to say thank you. The tutorial is amazing 👌
Thank you, sir. I have learned more in these 7 minutes than in 3 hours worth of Robotics classes. I wish you a very good day.
I'm doing a basic electrical theory course online and the labs are challenging because it is self-thought and I'm watching all these youtube videos to get an idea. Miss the days when an instructor was there to guide you and give you instant feedback, but I guess this is the new normal...
this is so true. especially in my math class where my math teacher justs puts the answers on the board without going step by step to how he got there. Then he asks us to do the next question without guidance from the prior example😭😭
Bro you are literally amazing and clear in your basic please continue it
There are many contents but It was the most usefull I think. Great explanation and demonstration
thank you for a simple newbie project in clear language, with clear, easy to follow visuals!
BECAUSE He Likes Music !..The Video Was Very Informative And It Helped People Like Me , This Guy Took The Time To Make A Video And We Get To Watch It For ( FREE ) AND You Gride About A Little Music...Thank You For Taking The Time To To Make This Video..GregM from EXPLORING DARKNESS .
I know these are just LEDs but it cool to see them light up when you plug them into a breadboard. I ordered some stuff for project and I can't wait to start putting together my device. I think this little flash of excitement is going to make me study E/E
first i don't know the principle of the bread board.but after watching this video i got an clear idea of the breadboard.
This is the first video I've found thats been useful
Who has a Project?
Meee
Me
everyone : meeeeeeeeeee😅
😂😂
Mee
Makes all the sense in the world. Great explanation of how this works!👍🏾
You deserved a subscribe! I didn't know a lot of things about breadboards, but I learned many things now thanks to you 👍🏼
This is excellent tutorial. I give it 5 stars. Very helpful. Kudos.
Great video, but why do people insist on putting music on tutorials? The music is very distracting. At least turn the music down, so we can better hear the tutorial. That’s what we’re here for, learning.
Shutup loser
Cuz it’s their video and they can add whatever they want to it.
Yeah men he should definitely add music in the background like AY YUH CANT KEEP MY DICK IN MY PANTS - xxxtentacion
@@jesusgirarte-sandoval7535however, if it is meant to communicate information, then why put distractions in?
Not everyone learns the same. Music helps me focus. I enjoyed it.
Great video. Very informative and one of the best video for the beginners to understand electronic circuit.
Omg thank you so Much LOL you have Save a 8th Grader With a Project about the Solderless breadboard and Explained it a lot Better then my Teacher XD
Thanks for pointing out the orientation of the LED that was very helpful for my troubleshooting a problem.
Great video.
Thank you for taking the time to record and post it.
Cheers m8
good video, I learned a lot 😁. My future kids will love this video 👍
Ohmygod! it's full of stars ! 😍 My first real circuit, thank you, really.
Just created my first ever circuit thanks
Would this have worked just as well if you used the resistors on the positive side? Is there any reason not to?
No it does not matter in this example if you go Supply-Resistor-(positive)LED(negative)-Ground or Supply-(positive)LED(negative)-Resistor-Ground.
@@Mskvaer is the power so much that the resistor is even needed?
@@BesomeTV at 5V the LED would/could draw several Amps. This does not happen because the power is supplied by the Arduino. It's pin can't supply amps, but it may die trying. So, the resistor is there to protect the Arduinopin.
thx that was really helpful and straight to the point
Amazing video I am going to use ur teaching for my comp exhibition thank u
Thanks for explaining it so easy and detailed!

Lit fam 😂😂👌👌💯💯
I'm sorry.
🤜🤛👣👣👣👣👣🤟👍💪👇👆☝️👉👈
Thanks for teaching the basics.
This is so helpfulll. Thank you for this. That's why I wonder when I put the LED onto the end of the breadboard and put the power supply on the opposite end it didn't lit up. I really thought that my breadboard was broken.
Thanks for teaching this one . I was not known to how to use bread board once again thank you
That's really amazing my all queries are now cleared thanks alot
What resistor wattage (1/4, 1/2, 1, or 2) is probably best for 15V applications using a breadboard for HO Scale LED lighting projects? Is it safer to go higher on the watts even though 1/4 watt seems to be the most prominent size sold in large packages. Thanks!
work out the physics, I guess, it'll help you out...
Thanks, explained better than my electronics teacher.
great refresher! thank you
Wow it's actually so easy and always i got confused with that 😂 thank you bro
This was great - electron flow went through the resistors first before returning... consistent with the battery video you episode 3... still waiting for the explanation to the last two videos - electron flow went opposite to what you said - again why... I only ask because this messed me up for years - I know you have a great explanation - I just need to hear it :-)
Liked and subscribed
Great video I was into electronics around six seven years ago using bread boards and doing soldering radio kits as a hobby,I have to say when you just learned how the bread boards work with resistors capacitors and we moved so everything sat in storage for five yesrs its like I'm starting all over again lol ! Great Video thanks for sharing .... ps I was wondering if I ever need to ask you a question here or there pick your brain would that be ok.
liked and subscribed. literally just starting out in this, I've got an Arduino and a beginners kit...looking forward to more of your videos. Thank you
thanks , By your help i understood the breadboard. but having confusion in connecting positive to positive and negative to negative of LOAD to Source
Hello,
I have questions why did you connected the resistor with the negative side not with positive side? Of it doesn’t matter?
Bought a BB about 20 years ago and never knew how to use it until now.
I'm curious as to why you suddenly decided that music was required at the 3:35 mark. The previous 3 minutes(+) prove that the music is totally unnecessary while the following time prove the music to be nothing more than an annoying distraction.
Nice video. Wouldn't it be easier just to put the second and the third LED below the first one, without the additional wiring?
Yes, but I believe the additional wiring gives a better visual for anyone who may not completely understand the internals of the breadboard.
It's a parallel circuit, not series, that's why he did it that way
thanks man you saved my life!
For conversation sake, if you were to use one resistor "pre", as in the main power going into the breadboard would that be just as effective?
I just tested that and the answer appears to be yes. The voltage in a parallel circuit would be constant, so that make sense.
That was very helpful. How do we know when we need a resistor and which size we need? I just got my first arduino kit to try circuitry for the first time and in the first project they just said "Add a 100 resistor." Presumably this is based on what each component (i.e. LED) is capable of handling?
if the light bulb won't explode without a resistor, can i just connect another jumper wire? I'm new into electronics..
The bulb will burn out without a resister to reduce the voltage indirectly by reducing the current as seen in V=RI where V=voltage, R=ohms and I=current. I still get confused by voltage and current myself, but there are videos on this subject. Hope that helped. Cheers
@@cri8tor thanks
Thank you so much for this video, it really helped me a lot.
why are we using resistors in the negative holes instead of a wire just like we used in the positive holes?
this is great! It's helped me a lot when i was doing electronics
I have a question. Why did we put the resistor on the negative side of the flow, why not resist the power going to the led so it doesn't burn the led out. I'm confused on how it didn't burn it out and why we put a resistor on the negative side instead of the positive
Great video course for beginners to electronics hobbies
On 6:48 why did the green led emit a little bit of light when he was holding the resistor?
my guess is a bit of resistance from him
It was in the board
Best explanation ever. Thanks!
video starts at 0:43
Electronic's is the best 👍👍 in our clubs we have stem sub in which we studied about bread board which was very interesting
I'm new here, why do you need more resistors per LED? I thought one resistor will change the current of the whole circuit, making the whole circuit habitable for LEDs. what's going on here?
Thank you sr I have tried it and found out that it works
Why do you connect resistor to negative and then connect the diod? Is it because the current flows from negative to positive? Would it make difference if you connected resistor to positive and then connected the diod to it?
it makes no difference as it still controls the amount of current flowing through the circuit.
This must be a constant current power supply because of the led nearest to the power seems to be the brightest (getting the most current?)
Exactly not a battery! Batteries slowly lose its voltage overtime bc the polarity difference gets lower over time with batteries. If u plug your source to the wall circuit the same does not apply! =)
Did you learn more about electronics in the last couple of years?? I only ask because I am interested in your question here:
I figured the answer is no, because the resistor should limit the current anyway, that's what it is there for. So as long as the source can keep up with the demand, as set by the LED/resistor combo, the current should be the same to all three LEDs if they are all the same spec and with the same resistor. And if the source can't keep up, all three LEDs should dim by the same amount, as the lack of current should be equally distributed between the three loads in parallel.
I think the LED which looks brightest is because green LEDs are more efficient at converting electricity into light than either red or yellow, so for the same power drawn, you get more photons out.
If you have since learned enough to confirm this or correct me, or anyone else who's in the know, that would be super helpful!
What will happen if we don't use resistor and connect the LED directly to the power source
It will blow the LED. the resistor resists the control of the current.
Nice explanation And understood all thank u sooo much ❤️😇😇
Thanks for the explanation. A great one
Is there any rhyme or reason as to why you plug the wires where you do? For example, the 2 connections of the jumper cable? Or could the positive end of the jumper wire be placed anywhere on that positive side?
Thank you very much for your informative explanations.
Why does the resistor go on the Neg side. Ive just started and put mine in the positive side is this wrong?
Current flows from the negative terminal to the positive terminal. Or in this case, the negative power rail to the positive power rail.
@PHILL DIXON Electrons flow from -ve to +ve in the real, physical world. However, in "conventional" circuits they are shown to be flowing from the +ve pole for historical reasons.
@@AntPDC yeah it really gets confusing a negative charged atom gives their electrons to a positive charged one so - to +. When I draw a circuit scheme or map it confuses me if I should draw the direction arrow going from + to - or - to + =(
If I connect the LED in only one column (with the resistor of course), will I make a series connection??
You will short circuit it
Thanks man, that was really helpful. ❤
What happens if we connect the capacitor in series to the LED ?
The led just stays on for a but longer
THIS VIDEOS ARE VERY HELPFUL
Incredible explanation
Why did you use resisters to connect the negative column and negative power rail together? Why not just use another black wire to connect to the the two negatives together? Would there be too much current? I ask because you never specified what current and voltage was needed to keep the LED lights stable.
Yeah, it will be too much current for the LED to handle.
Dude thanks a lot for this explanation
I've literally just built my first breadboard circuit with this.
Exceptional video. Very informative and quite helpful. Just subscribed. Thank you.
this was so helpful THANK U SO MUCH!!
Sir, Thank you so much. This helped me so much I know I can make so many more arduino projects. :)
why do you put the resistor on the negative end, shouldn't it be placed before the resistor as it limits the current?
Video helped me understand. Thank you very much!
I have a few questions.
I don’t understand why the resistor goes to the negative side. In my mind it goes positive power rail to positive end of the LED, to the negative end, and then the resistor. Wouldn’t the positive current flow to the LED end over load it if the resistor was after and not before this? Maybe I’be got it wrong haha.
Also, it’s a much more broad question but why do other breadboard videos seem to use just any part of the board they please? You’re the first one to explain and use the power rails that I’ve seen. Is it possible to use both. Does the power rail hold better advantage if either are doable?
I would greatly appreciate your feed back. And I love this video. Thank you!
It doesn't matter which side the resistor goes + or - as it still controls the amount of current that flows through the LED, it can still only draw the amount that can flow through the circuit. If you imagine that you have a hose with a kink in the middle the same amount of water will flow through the hose irrespective of where the kink is.
what would happen if we would use wires instead of the resistors here??
Shabbir Ahmed it would burn out the led
Good job 👏 bruh iam so proved to being an electronics student 😊
I now understand these, I didn't at all during college, my tutor was crap
if power flows from the positive terminal why is the resistor located after the led in the circuit? shouldnt the resistor be hit by power before the LED? or does that not matter?
Why do we need a resistor? can i just put another jumper wire to the negative of the led and the negative power? beginner here
thanks for the video, its actually our mistake maybe but the light only work once, the first time it light up we can connect it to any socket but then we need luck to light it up again, how to fix this?
