      The original quote creator is "Locutus of Borg", and so Board sounds much more similar to Borg than Motherboard (it has too many letters to make it funny)
      And also, resistors can be used on any board, not just motherboards.

      Yeah. One reason was that they didn’t expect you to tune out and listen to them for 30-1.5hrs straight, retain the information, and apply that information to a project. Don’t forget the fact that they lacked understanding that you could have a different learning style than what’s presented. It’s said clearly with icons to see and it isn’t overly verbose. It’s a great learning tool.

      You need to learn way more about chemistry and physics to understand how it works.*
      *how it works according to how we’ve agreed that the chemical and physical properties of matter work the way we say they do. In reality (if there even is such a thing) it probably works completely differently. But it only matters that our understanding is consistent and we can make reliable predictions based on it that have “real” world benefits. That it isn’t exactly a perfect description of how these phenomena “actually” work is not and should not be our concern since it would bring us nothing in terms of the benefit we would get from that understanding. Unless
      we are trying to defeat “god”, then absolute understanding of these things would probably be beneficial if we wanted to stand a fighting chance.

    • @899baki

      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.

      If you a doing basic circuit
      design you don’t need to know this. You just need to know what it does and what ohms law is. It could be a tiny room with tiny Lucy and tiny Ethel taking the electrons from a belt, wrapping them in a magnetic field the back on the belt. But they are In over their heads and can’t keep up and electrons are piling up and that makes the room hotter. That fact wouldn’t affect your ability to use them properly in a circuit.

      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.

    • @generessler6282
      @generessler6282 Před 6 měsíci +1

      @@808drumz9 Capacitors are placed between amplifier stages so the output dc bias network of one doesn't affect the input bias of the next. So does this capacitor "protect" anything? Imo no. It's just the way conditions are established for the circuit internally to work as intended. Same for the resistor. Otoh a varistor, fuse, or circuit breaker actually does protect against external factors that can do damage.

    • @808drumz9
      @808drumz9 Před 6 měsíci +1

      @@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.

    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.
