    The way you explain things is amazing. As an electrical apprentice, sometimes it’s difficult to grasp certain concepts even in 8 hour days in school. I can leave class and watch one of your videos and 20 minutes later I understand perfectly. Can’t thank you enough for what you do. 👊🏼

    Only 20 mins to learn all the essentials about LEDs for a project I am working on and it only took 5 minutes into the video to known I had found the right channel and subbed. There are a lot of good tutorials out there but for a novice like me they were too long, too short and/or left me with even more questions. This gave me all the info I needed to feel confident to move forward and plan on learning much more now. Thanks!!!

    You do a really excellent job of explaining various topics! I studied electronics in college back in the late 80s-early 90s so it's fun to kind of relive subjects like this one.
    One thing about LEDs that I remember that you didn't mention (and maybe things have changed over time), but the round base of an LED will have a flat spot on it next to one of the legs...this identifies the cathode side.

    This video is superb! Career-wise I'm a medical microbiologist and only did electronics as a 1/2 GSCE decades ago (and I was mediocre at best). However, I'm a geek who wants to build scenery for a wargame I play and I intend to have certain portions light up. This video is so well executed I now feel confident in completing the task I set myself, thank you so much.

    @hankrearden20 Před měsícem +1

    I've seen in other videos people complaining about you reposting old videos. To which is say BS.
    I just bought my son(12 years) a DC supply. He's hooking up LEDs and resistors just like in your video. He's very excited by the outcome. He's showing them little circuits to his little brother, his friends, and I suggested he take them to school for a quick demo in class.
    Your videos help me explain electronics to a younger generation. And I'm not a great teacher.
    So keep on reposting those older videos.
    Thanks.

    This makes so much sense. Thank you. Wired up some LEDs in parallel for a painting and I threw in some UV LEDs that required higher voltage. Used the same resistors. When I lit it up, the UV ones were really dim. I think that means I need to replace the resistor on those UV LEDs and not throw my painting out the window with all it's attached wires. :-)

    at 14:47 you write 500 mAh / 120 mAh = ~4 hours.
    This is incorrect.
    Instead it should be:
    500 mAh / 120 mA = ~4 hours.
    Otherwise, great video!

    0:20 nice to mention (for the beginners out there) that it *isn't the thin wire creating the light.* Instead, it is the behavior of the electrons within the (p-n junction of the) semiconductor material that emits light. So the light comes from the tiny square of material to which the wire is connected.

    0:14 "Little wire emitting light in a bulb, which burns out if too much current is passed through it" is suspiciously similar to incandescent bulbs (even though incandescent bulbs are in a vacuum).

    • @1pcfred
      @1pcfred Před rokem

      If that wire was like the filament in a bulb it wouldn't have burned so easily. Even not in a vacuum. Modern bulbs use tungsten as the wire.

    You explained that there are many ways to connect the same number of LEDs, but I think you should have also mentioned that you should use the way that minimizes the amount of power used by the resistors to reduce wasted power and extend the battery life.

    • @TheVonMatrices
      @TheVonMatrices Před rokem +1

      ​@@deang5622 That makes sense for only one LED, but if you have more than one LED in a circuit, whether you wire them in series or parallel makes a difference. If all the LEDs are in parallel, then you will need resistors for each branch and will be wasting a lot of power. If you can wire them in series as much as you can before going parallel, then you can reduce the resistors and thus wasted power.
