@nscspeedcubing9293 3 года назад

@@EngineeringMindset great explanation!!

@counterleo 3 года назад

If the green dots are excess electrons and the black dots are holes, at the PN junction, free electrons move to fill in the holes, OK, but why does that create holes to the right and excess to the left? Intuitively I would imagine a neutral PN region, with holes filled with the excess. Is it because Phosphore becomes positive when an electron is taken away and Aluminium becomes negative when an electron is added? So the desire to reach overall stability with covalence is stronger than the charges of the individual P and Al atoms themselves?

@kongyihfann5546 3 года назад

True, by far the best explanation of the pn junction

@ManicMechanic82 Год назад

I’m a Master Automotive Technician and really love this series! Technicians understand the use of diodes and how to test them but it’s really great to see their inner design and just exactly how they fully operate in different setups. As technicians we are fully able to diagnose good diodes from bad in circuits and other circuit problems. But this video gives you a much better visual understanding for seasoned electric workers and those who are just beginning to learn. Love this series of videos!

@inhibited44 11 месяцев назад

I took auto technology for a year in 2005 . We barely touch anything except series and parallel circuits. I didn't work in the field because the hiring folks said I was too old at 44. Now , almost 20 years later I am trying to install brake lines in my father 1996 corolla. After the sun beats down on me for 1 hour or so , it's tough. Waiting for rain to finish the job.

@utkf16 3 года назад

Same here and I think the hobby has many more like us. Having the internet has made it access to info so easy makes you wonder how much better we would have done at school

@pflaffik 3 года назад

Its easy to follow because its a basic introduction of one of the basic components. However its misleading as it dont adhere to the direction of current flow. Imho he should use the + to - flow and just mention that the electrons flow in the other direction. Or leave it out as it is irrelevant.

@martinbooyzen1562 2 года назад

Using conventional flow does make diode and transistors extremely difficult to explain on atomic level. Electron flow makes it super easy to understand how these components work internally. I think he's doing it right this way.

@johnk7025 Год назад

I didn't like circuits it in school, because there was no in-depth explanation. Now I study electrical/computer engineering and these things are beautiful.

That Voltage, Current graph at 8:10 is the most useful visual learning tool I've ever seen, and a tool I didn't even see once in my digital electronics class. This is the future of learning, not some variable in where a teacher that is even inadequate for the job has to be provided every year sapping our wallet in the form of taxes. But this right here, truely free education at the cost of the time of the teacher that is providing it, and they only provide once that it's there for a very long time.

All of these electrical components have a functionally similar/identical water based variant. And they’re often mentioned as analogies, yet I’ve never heard of anyone making a circuit using water instead of electricity. Surely this would be a great tool to visually show how these components function instead of just theory. Could probably be made for under $40 with a few pieces of wood, some hot glue, acrylic, clear tubing, food coloring, a water supply, and like a day of work
