    This is by far the best explanation of capacitance, especially series vs parallel, I have ever seen. Thank you so much. Doing the algebra at the end to show the reciprocal might have helped some people tho. I mean def not me - I'm super smart and of course immediately realized that ;)

    Beware there is a typo in the equations in 15:04 whre it was supposed to be "C3 = C1 + C2" (not "C3 = C1 + C3" with C3 on both sides of the equation) and in 17:10 whre it's supposed to be "1/C3 = 1/C1 + 1/C2".

    • @vinicus508
      @vinicus508 5 місяців тому +6

      ​@@agronbislimi8545 Your comment demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding. I did not equate 3 with 1 + 2. Stating that 3 equals 1 + 2 is entirely distinct from asserting that C3 equals C1 + C2 which which may not hold true in all cases. If this concept eludes you, it would be advisable to gain a better grasp of the subject matter before offering judgments on the appropriateness of comments related to this video.

    Very well explained except when calculating the total capacitance in the series example you mistakenly used C3 = C1 + C3 where it should be C3 = C1 + C2. The same happened in the parallel example where you said 1/C3 = 1/C1 + 1/C3 where is should have been 1/C3 = 1/C1 + 1/C2.

      @@vinicus508 At the risk of losing my UA-cam channel and offending someone I'll answer your question. When one adds capacitor values (as in, when capacitors are in parallel) the total capacitance must equal the sum of the individual capacitors being added together. For example: If C1 =1 uF , C2= 1uF then the total (when added) would equal 2 uF. Not 1+1 = 3 nor 1+1 = 2 +1. Plugging in any number for C1 and C2 will only equal the sum of both, not both plus and extra value. Having majored in electronics for 35+ years, having been published and being a patent holder I believe I know I what I'm stating to be true. Room won't allow us to continue the discussion on "series capacitance ".

    But be aware that the paper separators can successfully be thought of as the Dielectric in a 470 uf Capacitor for this lesson, but they are not. If the paper was the Dielectric then the Electrolytic Capacitor would have the same Capacitance when wet or when dry. But a dry Electrolytic is very Low in Capacitance, maybe, possibly in the Picofarads.
    Food for thought: The actual Dielectric in an Electrolytic Capacitor is microscopically thin (hence the Large Capacitance) and the Electrolyte's 2nd. function is to effectively extend one of the Plates through and past the paper separator, all the way up to the extremely thin Dielectric.

    Good start - but the math part feels like it should come later. What nobody does a good job explaining is how capacitors fit in when we see them in circuit diagrams. I get what they do in isolation - but then I see them in a circuit and I can’t figure out what purpose they serve.

  • @brianlittle717
    @brianlittle717 11 місяців тому

    I knew a lot of this but it’s good to hear a new perspective. But the way you’ve explained it, current cannot flow through the capacitor just as the water cannot make a continuous flow though the two water chambers. But we know that an AC current can flow though a capacitor. If I wired a capacitor in series with a load and applied an AC voltage source, current will flow and power the load, while filtering the lower frequencies. I was a bit disappointed that you didn’t touch on frequency. Also, to figure the total value of capacitors in series, if they are all equal, you can divide by the number of capacitors, and if they are not equal, the rule is that total capacitance will be less than the smallest one. Great explanations though.
