Thanks bro I’m doing technology in school and we have to learn about all of this for a test and you just saved my ass with a 60 second video thanks again
Same! After 4 + 2 years of “power electrical texhnician” school i still dont know whats the difference between amper and volt/watt. Graduated with 5/4 mark, what is near the best here. 🤣
I just understood this shit after 15 years... man! It makes sense now! Bc of the helical shape the electron has to go through a longer path and this is how it works! Fucks sake none of my teachers had show me something like this but i only needed this! Oh my gooooood!!!
Someone tries to tell for us,that the resistance only depends on the length of the path through the resistor? This is partly true, but the resistance depends on the material of the resistor. 1 kilometer of copper wire has an electrical resistance equal to one meter of tungsten wire. According to them, 10 mega Ohm resistor should have 162 kilometers of copper wire? Carbon layer, Metal oxide, Varistor,Thermistor, NTC, PTC are based on the electrical conductivity of the material from which they are made. The resistance depends very little on the length of the path, or the shape of the resistor. It depends exclusively on the material of which it is made...Do you understand? One metal oxide resistor 0.25 Watt, is about 1cm long. If it has a resistance of 100 megaOhm, it should have a 200 kilometer long copper or aluminum wire in it? So, the resistance only depends on the material, not on the length of the electron path ..Simple example: Iron has 7 times greater electrical resistance than Copper.
Maybe they teach it differently now, but when I went to school they didn't really teach it much like this. There was optional electronics course, which does teach circuit theory and stuff, but still not quite like this.
@@MsHojat i mean in my physics class we had a few lessons on the basics.. basically just this video but then you make a basic circuit using it, also learn the symbols and all that
Electrons don't collide with atoms, they transfer kinetic energy to other electrons, a behavior that looks like a collision, when a circuit is closed, causing a domino effect of kinetic transfer. The kinetic measure of electrons, called current, must balance with the potential energy in the battery as voltage or electron voltage and the resistance or magnetic capacity of the resistors, transistors, switches, modems and even wires. Flames of fire are made up of electrons, so if there is a build up of electrons in one area, when the voltage is higher than the resistance ability, a flame is created.
Resistors don't limit the flow of electrons, they simply reduce the potential of the electrons to do work by making them do work to get through the component resulting in waste heat.
So does that mean the same amount of energy is taken from the source regardless of the resistor (or lack thereof), it's just that more (or less) of it is converted into waste heat?
There is a flaw in this explanation. Resistors dont make less electrons to flow. They just reduce the "force" with which they flow. Thats why you will see a voltage drop across the resistor but not a drop in the current flow.
What?? Of course you see a drop in the current, compared to 0 ohms... i.e. in an ordinary battery circuit. (Only with a theoretical and ideal synthetic current generator would your statement be true.)
My man, if you try to write a scientific work and say shit like "it's narrow so the electrons don't fit through as well" you're gonna be in a world of pain
In college, I would mention that you need to get the right wattage for a resistor, and my MechE friends would not believe that that's a thing. I'd pump 10 watts into a 1/4 watt resistor, and the end result was illuminating for them. Another 4 cents well spent!
omg the narrow part is genius but so obvious when knowing it, I always thought they put different materials in it to increase resistance which would be more complicated and expensive than just narrowing the path
Note that these are the old school type of resistors, which are rarely used in modern electronics. Resistors today look like tiny little black blocks, with their resisting value written on it (that old school color coding never made much sense)
Oh, they still have use in small and simple electronics projects. They are much more handy then SMD. And they fit quite nicely in electronics project connection boards. So I don't predict they will be out of use 😏
Well if you have a multi thousand dollar wave soldering machine, sure go with smd. If not, you will be using these. Not so much old school as you think.
@@NickFrom1228 There are SMD heating plates you can use to solder to the board. Look it up Note that hobby use isn’t the same as modern electronics. Of course you’d wanna go the old school ways if you’re doing things by hand in your garage.

@@Baneb1984 sure, but you said the reason we have the phrase "the gold standard" is because of the gold tolerance band on resistors. The phrase was used long before resistors were!
Resistors are often placed in series with diodes to reduce the current because the diode resistance is so low it'd immediately burn when given a forward bias.

Otoh a varistor, fuse, or circuit breaker actually does protect against external factors that can do damage.
@@generessler6282 yes, well I guess the correct way of explaining it would be that the resistors cause a voltage drop so that the right amount of voltage goes across certain component(s) in the circuit, especially if you're stuck with some constant voltage source like a battery. But to the layperson, dropping the voltage so it doesn't burn stuff is kind of like "protecting" the stuff. It won't interrupt the current like a fuse would, so people in the industry wouldn't call a resistor a protective device.
Anther way to explain this is that they are like little tanks that hold THE MAGIC SMOKE and when them leak this magic smoke out, electronic things don't work anymore.
To calculate resistance R=V/I where V=volt and I =current Also resistance only can change resistivity never changes for a material 😊😊. Hope this help to understand more clearly 🎉🎉
Resistors aren't a means of protection, they're a means of control. It is setting the safe operating current for the LED. Creating acceptable operating conditions for any component isn't protection. Something that disables a circuit during conditions of unexpected operation is. The rest of the video is excellent, well done!
I wish we had had videos like this available to watch back in 1992. It's a lot easier to understand now. The books we had were not enough to give me the drive to learn.
You explained it in easy way , Im currently studying the electrical chapter in science and it will definitely help me in exam and i can write answers on my own 😊
This is used in many small power supplies. If the power supply is working normally, the resistance only gets moderately warm. If there is a short circuit in the power supply then the entire mains voltage is at the resistor. This causes the resistor to burn out and interrupt the current.
Resistor is the only good lesson in my study with physics. Though I forgot the formula, I remembered being focused to it and getting good scores. One wrong value from any of the bands can already damage the circuit. Very important little guys.
I love that you can actually see the spiral cut puffing out in the footage of the resistor burning.

The best explanation of why resistor is useful: the why and how of using resistor.
This video explained it so much better than the school I was in back in the day.
Ain’t nobody gonna talk about the leds with faces and how sus that was?💀💀💀
that was actually an awesome clip to happen upon, thank you for that great explanation 👍
I love learning stuff like this
My science teacher did a awful job at explaining this but you were just quick and simple! Good job
Fascinating. Now I can finally understand what those are on my electronic hardware.
To calculate resistance
R=V/I where V=volt and I =current
Also resistance only can change resistivity never changes for a material 😊😊. Hope this help to understand more clearly 🎉🎉
Resistors aren't a means of protection, they're a means of control. It is setting the safe operating current for the LED. Creating acceptable operating conditions for any component isn't protection. Something that disables a circuit during conditions of unexpected operation is. The rest of the video is excellent, well done!
Thanks a ton!
I could never understand this practically but you made it possible 😺
That loop is smooth. Flawless.
I wish we had had videos like this available to watch back in 1992. It's a lot easier to understand now. The books we had were not enough to give me the drive to learn.
One of the best uses of a loop I’ve seen
I remember the day I touched a resistor while building a circuit because I forgot it was hot 😭😭😭
Fascinating and explained very, very well!!!
Actually the colors represent the material used for the resistance there's a resistance color chart matching each material
No they show the resistance, how the resistor is built or what its made off doesnt show with the colors
Teaching made easy. Need more videos like this
Every G-9 to G-10 can relate to this video
Learning has occurred. Good Sir😊
Finally I wont get stuck on the resistor puzzles on Roblox😭🙏
Finally, the best explanation
Truly an Ohm experience
That loop tho
Resistors are used to drop voltage and limit current flow. Was the specific definition we used in my digital systems course in college.
Damn, that explains more than all of my years in school, thanks
You explained it in easy way , Im currently studying the electrical chapter in science and it will definitely help me in exam and i can write answers on my own 😊
A literall mini supressor
Where was this video when I was learning about electronics? Great video
Explained resistors better than my physics teacher.... Thanks :)
Glad it helped, check out our full tutorial, soooo much more detail. Link bottom left
This is used in many small power supplies. If the power supply is working normally, the resistance only gets moderately warm. If there is a short circuit in the power supply then the entire mains voltage is at the resistor. This causes the resistor to burn out and interrupt the current.
This was really interesting, thank you!
Resistor is the only good lesson in my study with physics. Though I forgot the formula, I remembered being focused to it and getting good scores. One wrong value from any of the bands can already damage the circuit. Very important little guys.
genuinely the only youtube short where i learned something interesting
Thank you I've been wanting to know what this was. Great explanation!
