Sir, you are just destined to be a teacher. You make technically difficult subject look so easy. I have for decades tried to understand what parallel and series circuits are, but you just gave a clear explanation of the mystery. You are the best there is. Thanks a million.
This was very helpful video as well as others After much tinkering, I am realizing some times items I plug into a the wall then don't but work on other plugs, does that mean the circuit breaker is failing?
Maybe I missed an explanation somewhere, but why are the hot wires pig-tailed in this situation rather than just having one black wire on each screw on the right side like I saw in a previous video of yours? Might be a dumb question.
I’m only three minutes and 10 seconds into the video but so pretty much a series circuit is where if anything within the circuit goes out entire circuit shut down like the old Christmas lights so technically if I was putting let’s say car batteries and linking them all together like Daisy chaining which is the correct terminology I think And you series circuit would that be like a safety feature to prevent the batteries from either burning each other out or would that just like be like say I have 10 car batteries they’re all chained together. Say the car battery in the middle dies what would that cause if it’s a series circuit it would be just like those Christmas lights in the past Would that prevent anything from happening or would that cause one of those batteries to overheat and catch fire? If it’s bad enough and my understand is what’s the difference between the series circuit and the other regular parallel circuit I get the parallel circuit is just like a square it goes all the way around back to the original source and power runs through all of them, but what happens if the outlet and the parallelcircuit goes out it just pretty much fry that outlet which could cause a fire or would it be like just like a dead box that the power would still run through but it would be fried and still go all the way around like a square back to the main source

This is EXACTLY whay I was looking for for HOURS! I just couldn't grasp the concept of parallel wiring of outlets, but now it makes sense! Thanks!!!
Look, in earnest you make very clear and great knowledge videos. Thank you for your service.
Love to learn new things. Thanks ‼️‼️ God Bless you and yours 💕
This video is easy to follow and doesn’t get too technical for beginners nicely done 👍
your explaining is great. i've been watching a couple of your videos and it's been helping me a lot for my garage light projects
you explained that better than my physics 103 professor. thank you for the vid!
GREAT job explaining! thanks!!!!
sweet ... this helped alot ... thanks man !
thanks🙏

I am guessing you are plugging the device into outlets on other circuits?
correct, on a different circuit breaker

What would happen if I wired a 4th outlet on that same circuit but I connect the blue wire to the gold screw and the black to the silver screw?

If you were watching Electrical Basics, I made a follow up video correcting that. I should have pig tailed the wires in Electrical Basics.

wait what ? both are the same circuit. why are you acting like they are different ?
They are different. The outlets are in "series", but the current path is in parallel.
