Series vs Parallel Circuits 

He made a mistake for the calculation for the parallel circuit. It's actually 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.5 which eqauls 0.75. Then you do 1 / 0.75 which gives you 1.3

What I learned from the comments: no one likes background music.

Using this as last minute studying for an AP test

This is excellent...in physics 2 lab now and we haven't even been taught circuits at all (still on electric fields and force) in lecture...saved my life and grade!

remove the music next time. thanks

Nice. I miss doing fun math. Now I'm stuck adding up bills, increasing inversely to my income. Thanks Joe B TrumpWon

nice. now i have a basic idea how to wire my car lights

THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION

Informative video but background music is very annoying!

I want subway surfer gameplay under this video

What happens to voltage in parallel vs series

Thank you nice short and straight to the point !!!!!!!

that was very good. now it is make since to me . THANK YOU.

I understand it better this way👍

Now I know why half of my Christmas tree lights don't work

This song was an absolute banger but the guy talking in the background was kind of distracting

help i have a taramp 800x4 and 4 size 10" manaces 500 watts 250rms whats better parallel or series

Very Helpful Video Thancks

short and parallel circuit is similar? A short will usually cause a blow fuse?

1:13 why is the charge flowing from negative to positive??? shouldnt it be from positive to negative?

nice video

I thought electricity flowed out the positive side of the battery.

Yellow dot should be moving from positive to negative

This music is literally killing me

I'm confused about the math on the parallel circuit

is it just me being stupid or is it him giving the stuff to study of that is NOT for grade 6 cuz me no understand any of that math weird bracket thingy at the end :c

8+8+2 is 1.33

In seriers, why wouldn't a lightbulb explode if in line with a refrigerator? Wouldn't all the power of the fridge need to pass through the bulb?

in your scientific calc- 1/(1/8+1/8+1/2)= 1.3^

The information is valuable but the background music in this video is too loud and unnecessary. The video would have been better without background music at all.

I found the music to be nice. It added to the mysteriousness since none of us know what we're doing and we're all investigating the solutions.

Damn. That kitchen example really helped me understand. Thanks!

I didnt mind the background music. I was too focused on how informational and well said it was. Good work

Thank you! You taught me in six minutes what I 've had trouble understanding for weeks in my classroom. Keep up the great work!

Music is annoying 😖

That background music is unnecessary and very annoying.

I took 2 years of college physics and still couldn't understand this topic until now. Thanks!!

thx soo much but you look depressed

Why do you add NOISE to the background??? That reduces to degree we can understand you! That’s FU(KED up!!! Fix that, please.

Thanks, I appreciate your simple to understand style and graphics, I was totally jamming out to this music too good stuff keep it up brother

Thanks though but the music didn't permit me to understand what u were saying . So plz avoid........... Thanks

Your example of using a home is actually pretty much wrong, at least in the United States. US homes contain a mixture of parallel and series circuitry.

The music in the background is annoying. You have very interesting and important information to share, music is a huge distraction! However, great job on the diagrams and the detailed explanations!

Thanks for this. I been an electrician for only 4 years, NEVER had to calculate this stuff, but now that I am about to take my J-man test, I HAVE to know this. You made it very easy to understand, thank you!

a good content video made a lot less valuable due to background music. Why do that? Sure, some people can read a book while music is playing, but many people find it very distracting and anti-productive. I mean...this is supposed to be an instructional video, right?

Stopped watching. Music is distracting. Enough with the music. Hey, turn the music off or get a better mic

Trying to listen but god damn that annoying background music

math is wrong, unless your rounding up....but why would you round up to 2 if the answer is 1.33. incomplete explanation.

"I'm uncertain about Jenks' calculation-abilities"

Thank you so much tommorow is my science Exam

Please turn off the music

learning even more from these comments lol

For the longest time I have had the hardest time understanding this for a speaker application, and no matter who explained it to me I just could never 100% understand (10-20 yrs) I couldn't figure out what 1 little piece of info I was missing. Looking at from a speaker point makes it hard to learn and what this video did was make me realize that parallel is the one I'm having a problem with. I have noticed under many of these video is that people leaving still still confused and I think I just figured out how to explain it, hopefully through writing. When you showed the 1 single yellow charge going through the parallel circuit 1 resistor at a time, It throws off what is happening. What I never understood was why in parallel does the resistance go down, that made no sense to me. It's not that the resistance goes down, but that the power output from each individual resistor get added together, making the current added together, seem like there was less resistance. 12v@8ohm + 12v@8ohms, both of those powers added together is like having 12v@4ohms + 12v@4ohm, add those powers together and it's like 12v@2ohm. The resistance does NOT go down, it's just that when you add the powers from each resistor together, you get enough power to make it seem like the resistance has gone down. People that do know all about this, does what I said make sense, did I finally figure it out?

Thx for the vid but the background music is way to loud and distracting

I did R=1/8 +1/8 + 1/2...BUT i GOT R = 0.75 ????

who else is watching this for online school?

The background music and intro is wholly unnecessary for an educational video. I thought I was watching the latest news on eich key to be honest. Good material but please cut the music and intros , we’re here to learn.

Jesus christ the music is too loud and distracting made me click away on the first go

I had a great 5 minutes, I understood everything and I jammed on the music Yay!

I was going to fix some lights, but after listening to that insanely annoying music, I'm going to go kick my dog in rage !!!! THANKS !!! I CAN'T DO THE MATH EITHER !!!

How did you get 2 ohms as the total for parallel? I used the formula but only got 1.33

If the reciprocal of (1/8)+(1/8)+(1/2) = < 2 ohms, are you rounding 1.33 up to 2? 1/0.75 = 1.33, no? Or am I missing something. I'm taking General physics part 2. Just making sure I'm understanding. Thank you!

Very helpful and straight to the point but the alien soundtrack was not necessary

Thank you for a great introduction into series and parallel circuits.

trash background music

I live in a van so I wasn't sure about the kitchen analogy, but I get what he's saying

Anyone here for physics ?

Lol that music is _so_ annoying when you're trying to concentrate.

background music :(

This would be better without the music and if you smiled

Great video wow nice

I choose voltage over current. Reducing the need for heavier gauge wires, reducing voltage drops and increased arc stability (for MOTs and custom arc welders; oil cooling recommended). Possibly increasing charge as well. Store bought welders can only be connected or wired in parallel which increases current. That will make you pay the power company more, drain more energy and make very noticeable voltage drops for your neighbors. At least you'll be able to cut metal with electrodes or get DC electrodes working on AC. Side effects of excess current may include a very erratic arc.

The charges flow from the positive pole to the negative pole , but in the figures the charges flew differently!!!!! Please pay attention guys!

And at 4:26, why SAY that 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/2 = 2 ohms while at the same time WRITING that it equals < 2 ohms. Again, unclear. Why not just say that 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/2 and taking the recipricocal of that is “8/6” or “1 and 1/3” or 1.333 or ANY precise value, instead of just “2” so that anyone trying to follow you can at least know they are on track? Why all the vagueness? It makes learning things like this annoying. Still looking for someone on youtube who gives straightforward concise explanations

Get rid of the background music 🎶

hi am just asking a simple question What did you observe when LED 2 is removed from the series circuit pls Explain this observation

i think our christmas lights had series circut because one of the bulbs burnt out and we had to throw the entire strand away :/

i couldn't finish the video because of the background music

Wrong conclusion! First of all, his total resistance calculation in this example is utterly wrong. It should have 1,33. Second, in a parallel circuit, you cannot increase the total current by increasing the individual resistors. Let's assume a 12V power circuit with 3 resistors with each 4Ohm. The current at each circuit will be 3A which gives you 9A for total current while the total resistence is 1,33Ohm. If we increase each resistor as 6Ohm, the total resistance rise up to 2Ohm while the total current drops down to 6A. In conclusion, the higher the resistors the lower the current while the voltage is the same. There is no exception for series or parallel! If you need one conclusion, you can state that the total resistance in a circuit is always lower than the individual resistors.

i have ADHD hella bad i just wanna know does wattage stay the same when you twist couple resistors together NOT end to end so twist a couple together and ohms stay the same but watt increase like I have four 1/4 watt 100ohm and twist two together now I have a 1/2 watt 100 ohm right guys? fuck me I hate this ADD shit

Parallal circuits =RT=1/R1+2/R2+3/R3..../VALUE. RT=1+2+3/16 RT=6/16 RT=2.66 ohms Calculate by soumyadip paul

my god the background music is annoying

Thumbs down for the music. It is stronger than the voice of the "teacher", I wouldn't watch any more of your videos because the music is a DISTRACTION from the subject.

Music made it hard to follow what you were saying. Learn how to 'duck' or 'sidechain' the music to the voice over.

You had me until you randomly switched from light bulbs to “resistors” in the circuit without explaining what a resistor is. I sense another RU-vid rabbit home in my near future.

Thanks man Helped me out

Thank you very much... If you just deleted the music

so if i'm wiring my kitchen for 10 ceiling lamps at 120V each i should put 1200 V through them - ok THANKS

explanation is great. music is annoying.

please remove the music please it ear rape

why the music !! D: really put me of

thank you, your video was the one I was looking for. now i know what to do with my lights :)

Excellent explanation but it will be better if you don't use background music but better concentration

When you have hey Siri on and you try to say series circuit and Siri automatically turns on thinking you said Siri

Sitting in a group here and we've all come to the conclusion that editing out that annoying background music would help the learning experience

Great lesson but no music please

idk wat yall talking bout homie speaking too much facts for me to concentrate the music but their cc for a reason

Excellent series and parallel cct information

The Music Is Too Distracting And Is Unnecessary. Going Elsewhere

okay, i didn't like how he had the current flowing in the parallel circuit... he had the current flowing through the first resistor,skip the second resistor and right to the thrid resistor.. not correct. the current would have branched off at each junction.
