7:56 the current should start on the negative side of the sinewave and stop on the positive side. Not only be in the positive or negative sides. @The Engineering Mindset
You don't need to be accredited for this,, I've been doing this since I was nine by twelve I was creating tasers using old camera flash units 😂👍never had the bottle to test it on myself🤣 I later became at 16 a security engineer studying electronics at college, I love electronics ❤️👍subscribed 🤓👍
I send these videos to my apprentice all the time. The visual aids are a big help and break down everything. I enjoy them just as a refresher or learn something new! One of my favorite channels!
These videos are brilliant, I've always struggled with electronics, but these explain everything so clearly, and have really helped to fill in the gaps in my understanding, thanks!
Legitimately the greatest electrical engineering videos on the internet. I graduated from college in NY for Electrical Engineering Technology and I'm here to say if I had these as a resource my time would have been so much easier. My professors could not teach this stuff to save their lives!
Same. Being able to actually see how AC power flows back on forth in a diagram like this makes it so much easier to conceptualise. When my tutor was teaching bridge rectifiers i was completely baffled by how they get the "bottom half" of the sine wave to suddenly flip up to the positive side. When you can see the AC moving back and fore, it suddenly makes perfect sense.
Excellent, I am brushing up my basics. Your videos are short and to the point. No BS, 100% required information presented so well that it addresses novice and professionals.
This is hands down the best video on FBRs, and a few extras too, I wish this channel was around when I was getting into electronics in my early teenage years, I had to spend literally years learning all this stuff by teaching myself with electronics books, and none of them were anywhere near as clear and descriptive as this short video. Kids don't know how easy they have it these days, there is almost no excuse for failing to learn something when resources like _this_ are available. I say almost because channels like this are like a gem in a pile of gravel, very hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for...
I’ve been watching your videos here and there for about a year now and I’m finally at the point now where I can stick with you during the video and even guess what you’re going to say and actually understand what’s going on. Thank you so much for making electronics simple and easy to understand. By the way if you’re watching his videos and feel like you’re not understanding anything, just keep watching and trying to learn and they will begin to make more sense with time
These tutorials are some of the best on youtube for beginners, me included. Makes the understanding of circuits easier, especially like the one here. Before it was like ?😠!🤔, now it's a simple device that performs an important task. Nice work.
Absolutely fantastic video! Exceptionally and methodically constructed. Talking about Vrms and Vfwd which is rarely mentioned elsewhere. Basics of power diodes+caps+half/full rectifier+bonus voltage regulator. I can only salute you and appreciate your hard work.
Thank you for posting it's a good course for me to refresh my memory on some of the basics, brings back many memories when I was learning about Electronics, eventually I was involved with digital and fibre optic switching, in communication systems. I am retired now after 36 years service.
Please keep doing electrical videos like this! i've always struggled to grasp electronic circuits and for some reason this video just make things click. Thank you Thank you!
I went through basic electronic circuitry class back in 1983 and hadn't really thought about component mastery/theory since I went into sales (Yes, I went over to the dark side). Now retired, I have been pulled into the maker "river" and am back doing my own thing. I can't tell you all the "AHA' moments I've had watching your videos for reference. Can't thank you enough. Cheers! I'll by you a coffee...
@@EngineeringMindset it shows. Its appreciated by this broke stay at home dad. Lots of information I can speed through or re replay and pause/ slow down when it's new depths. Thank you. I'm sharing with anyone who thinks they dont understand electricity
This video was very helpful for me to umderstand the entire lecture on rectifiers in my campus. I was struggling to understand certain parts and this video covered them within minutes. Thank you!
Never found a channel as good as this channel. Explanations are very clear and also presentations are so standard that I don't get bored to watch till the end. Thanks for these videos❤
Excelent video. I just finished course of Linear electronics on my faculty, and this was the final chapter, exactly the same thing. Excelent explanations and visuals as always. Keep up the good work, and i wish you 10+ milion subs soon, you deserve it.
This channel is just amazing, I have learnt so much I cannot thank you enough. My only regret is I am not in a position to support you monetarily, I appreciate all you are doing here, thank you.
Im building a power supply and have watched a coupe different vids to make sure im understanding it correctly, this one was way easier to follow than almost all of the other i watched! TY
I am surprised and glad to see that until now i saw tons of videos from you Paul, and with every new video from you, i learn something new for me, that's why you are my favorite youtuber in electrical and electronic section! Thank you so much for all your effort, and i hope you will get 10.000.000 subscribers, cause you deserve it!
Bruh. THANK U for making this vid. This concept finally makes sense to me now after watching several other vids that just didn't cut it. The whole visuals and animation was terrific! Really appreciate this.
i have studied eletronic for so long but the way you explain about the components and circuits is of another level. keep the good work and il try to be a patreon as soon as I can. cheers and stay blessed always.
The laptop "adapter" shown at 1:40 is a switched-mode power supply which has two full wave rectifiers in it, the first to produce high-voltage DC which is then converted to a variable frequency AC, stepped down in voltage and then rectified a second time at low voltage to produce the regulated output. They can usually be recognized by the wide range of input voltages shown on the label 100-240V AC in this case.
Love the way you teach the minor things that other video maker cant explain .excellent work love your work .best of luck .keep making excellent content .
Now i completely understand the full bridge rectifier😉😁 and im so thankful of your teaching sir, one of the best recommended chnnl to people who want learn electronics, no need to pay enrollment👍💯😊. Keep uploading sir about electronics 🙏🏻
I am an electronics repairman in Indonesia and I really like all your content. If you can convert into Indonesian or you can add subtitles because my English not good enough. Thank you.
Great! This is what I've been looking for. I've been looking for a crash course in elect-elect and didn't know where to go. Now, I think you are giving me a good start. Thanks!
There is a relevant question roaming around you tube Ain't get an answer on (when do i know i need to use capacitor in the circuit)? capacitors are used nearly in all electronics circuit but at least today i learn on when do i need to use capacitor on (filtering) apart from learn on how the bridge rectifier work. Thank you and u won my subscription & up thumb.
A great intro to the subject. One thing I always find lacking in any coverage of AC is the reason why power companies use it. Basically it boils down to distance between generation and end-use. AC voltage is easier and more efficient to deliver over longer distances than DC is... not as much power is lost transmitting it over longer distances.
Or that house hold power in the US is center tapped transformers. If you measure US power across transformer will measure 240V and if you measure only L1 to ground in EU will get 120V.
This is very helpful tutorial and very good for the beginner. I've built several projects that work according to this tutorial. The full explanation is very informative 👌
These videos are amazing. I like how he experiments with things to show you what would happen. Strangely that's how I learn best, "What would happen if I hooked it up like THIS?" Most of the time the answer is smoke, it's always smoke.
What a so informative video, i am very impressed by your knowledge and teaching techniques, so keep it up more. We expected more videos like this. Thank you so much best wishes for you.
