First off, this vid is incredibly well done. I've never truly understood the relationships between voltage/current/resisitance till now. However I'm a bit confused with some stuff in the latter half. for example, why is the graph shaped like that @ 18:57? Is it wrong to assume that it would be similar to the shape of y = 1/x ?
Oops! That's my fault and well spotted. Watching it through it looks like i got mixed up and started talking about the ratio of Xc to R when i had labelled the graph as purely Xc! In essence what i'm trying to highlight is the fact that at low frequencies Xc is much larger than R and therefore we see much more low frequency info across the capacitor, then as we increase in frequency the ratio of Xc to R becomes much smaller and therefore the voltage is dropped much more across R than across Xc. We're thinking of a voltage comprised of one frequency (a sine wave) and varying that frequency and watching how that causes Xc to vary and how that essentially acts as a potentiometer. As it's labelled as Xc should be basically a steep 1/x (as it's actually 1/2pi*f*c). Hope this clears it up for you! I will pin this comment so if anyone else noticies my mistake they can see this :) Thanks!!
Just getting into DIY electronics, your videos have been really interesting and informative. Gonna try my hand at building a fx pedal before I try any synthesizer build. Wish me luck!
Great video thanks. Just started learning and you're helping me a lot. Is there like.... A digital breadboard program you can recommend? I want to tinker and learn some circuits while I wait for beginner electronics stuff to arrive in the mail
What i use if i ever want to simulate something is this: www.falstad.com/circuit/ I'm sure there are breadboard simulators online but i think this gives you a nice intuition on whats actually going on inside the circuit :) Thanks for watching!!
