What are Capacitors? - Electronics Basics 11 

21 Capacitor videos later and now someone finally makes a video to explain the Damn thing in a logical way! Thank you for this !!!!

This was a very useful video, because it shows some uses of capacitors with the current flow clearly visualized! It makes a great complement to videos that delve more deeply into the mathematics.

Hey man, it's me again. I've been a game developer for like 6 years now. I jumped into NodeMCU and the 8266 - and your channel is the only thing that teaches me everything I need to know to apply my code to the real world. Seriously, thanks again. So many IoT devices and robots incoming!!!

Thank you for all the videos. I am from a mechanical background and i wasnt having a low level basics of electronics, i really appreciate the effort you take to make this as simple as possible.

Great explanation, exactly what I needed. It's so hard to find someone who actually points the things out. I've heard that spoken about in different ways and none of them ever pointed anything out or helped me understand what was actually going on or that it was actually the capacitor and not something else doing that. Thank you!

This was a very straight forward introduction to capacitors for someone like my self who has know previous knowledge. I’m studying for the C.A.S.T and S.K.A.T. exam and I’m trying to put together a a quick study guide via RU-vid. Thanks for the video!

I recently watched the seventh video in your Electronics Basics series about rectifiers and was pleasantly surprised to find that I understood the material. I then dove into your other videos, starting from number one on Electronics Basics. I've watched countless videos on electronic components, but until now, I haven't come across any that explain things in such an accessible way. Your videos are truly the best! Thank you for creating content that speaks to those of us who are just starting to learn about electronics. I've gone back and liked every video in your series, and I plan on doing the same with the rest. Needless to say, I've subscribed and am excited to continue learning from your channel. I hope your videos reach even more people like me who are trying to figure this stuff out!

Thanks for making these videos. They so clear and easy to understand! You way better than any university lecturer. Thanks again

Very simple. Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you.

Thank you so much. This is really good tutorial . It makes me understand the concept which helps me a lot in my lecture class lol

I noticed you said that the capacitor you were using in the diagram was a “polarized Electrolytic.” I work on vintage radios and what I was taught is that when I encounter a “polarized “ cap, I am looking at a capacitor ( usually wax paper and foil) with a band around one end signifying this end is where the lead wire is on the very outside of the capacitor . The other end is at the inner most part of the capacitor. Electrolytics are usually found inside a aluminum can fastened to the chassis. Now let me express my gratitude for the work you put into this wonderful and educative experience! I was able to understand better what capacitors are used for! I’m looking forward to seeing other videos on your channel!!! Thanks!

I myself lack this basic knowledge even being the student of Electronics. But, this videos clears that barrier. THANK YOU

By far the best explanation I’ve EVER seen of electrical systems. Not just this video, all of your videos are damn brilliant. Many, many thanks to you!

Thanks for this video. I am now in class 11 and one of my hobbies is to work with electronics, so I really needed this explanation of how capacitors work and what are they used for.

Each time i listen to a video it push me strongly to see the next, thanks for the clarity in explaining all the related details.

Love your video's, a huge thank you,I have to commend you for making electronics so easy and fun to learn.

Very simple and detailed description. Simply electronics is great!

These are very good tutorials. simple graphics and easy explanation. Thanks for sharing!

Finally a video that explains the application of an electrical component in a circuit. Thank you, subscribed.

this was what i was seeking for a long time thanks sir nice explanation

Just found your channel, great job of explaining electrical components. Instant subscriber here!!

One of the best explanations out there

very educative and beautifully explained and concepts are taught wonderfully. thank you

Good job bud. You have explained to me more in a few videos then my years in school ever did. I majored in mechatronics, so my electrical aspect always suck. Lol.

Very helpful, i want to know when i needed to use capacitor on a circuits

This was an excellent video, It really helped me expand my knowledge on capacitors begore this video all I knew was that there are 3 types of electrolyctic capacitors: Aluminum, Tantalum, and Niobium.

Thank you so much. The animation you have created - which I believe took much effort - is incredibly instructive.

Incredibly easy to understand. Thank you so much.

thank you. i finally understood why you need them!

Thank you! Very nice demo for simple RC

Your way of teaching is fantastic!

This is the best explanation that I have ever seen !!

Great explanation. The diagrams make it easier to understand

all the vids are very good, good to go over the basics, the software for the demos is great too, really like the slow motion demo's

Haha! The video that explains what all the other RU-vid videos were talking about but had confused you, yes one that just says the basic facts as you need. Good job and thank you.

This is 5 video have sooo many value! Thank you very much for your effort to share with us!

This cleared it up ! Thanks for this excellent explanation !!

BY FAR THE BEST EXPLANATION EVER!

I've learned more practical uses for circuits in 3 of your videos than an entire circuits and electromagnetism course at my university

Oh my God... What a nice explanation!!!! Keep up with the good job sir!

Amazing !!! Beautifully explained..

Sir , you are the best of the best. I wish i ve discovered your channel long time ago

The best explanation I've seen for capacitors 🙂

Most amazing video,clear and concise

Excellent pedagogic material!

Great explanation

Great simulation and made too easy to understand smoothing.

Thank you. I used to not understand capacitors at all but I do now. Thank you so much.

Great explanation sir. Thank you

love your lectures all of them... :) If you would come up with a video on ADC It would be awesome

You’re the only person who clearly explains

You've explained it perfectly.

MAN, you are the best videos out there! finally found!

Beautiful software used!!

Great video, excellent explanation

awesome way to explain things... keep it going

Good presentation. Well put for us amateurs.

Nice Capacitor pick up - I was waiting - and my understanding was good - but your video and explanation put it together.

Excellent explanation ! Thank you .

Well explained. Thank you very much for this!

Thanks bro, because of people like you some people in the developing world who couldn't get access to a better education can at least learn the basics

Super super amazing explanation and demonstration. Wow

Really helpful sir

Very interesting, easy to understand, thanks for the effort. After many years of being interested I have finally got down to it, however two 'beginners kits' (how misleading) and one book later (supposedly for beginners and totally incomprehensible) I was almost ready to give up. So thanks again, a thumbs up and I have subscribed.

So love this channel.

excellent explanation as usual.

You explain things much better than I. Liked and Subbed!

woah, it actually makes sense now =D Your example with LED's was the one thing other videos missed out, now I actually understand why there are so many caps around some appliances.

thank you sir for wonderfully explaining capitol.

Amazing explanation

Thank you so much, i understand all of these things so much better from these videos. Than from my text book.

great work.

Online classes are boring. As an Indian high school student found this vdeo very helpful for me to understand the concept of capacitance. Thank you 🖤

this was so well explained omg thank you

I'm a total idiot when it comes to anything electrical and yet even I can understand your clear simple explanation. Thanks for taking the time to put this out!

Love this explanation

Very well expolained, Thank You

l realy liked the way you just introduce the use of capasitors

great example for a capacitor & its application!

Great explanation 👍

Thank you, sir! Excellent explanation! Greetings from a future engineer in Hamburg

Very good explanation!!!!

Thank for you this clear explanation.

I've been watching videos for years learning electronics and decided to revisit the caps as I suspect one of my projects might need one, because the touch screen I added keeps developing a new white line across the screen when I turn it on after a long time of non-use. I suspect there is a power spike somewhere damaging sensitive electronics. You video finally explains how they work clearly so I can understand. I bought a new screen in case that is the fault of bad Chinese manufacturing and lastability, or my novice circuit building. Time will tell.

For some reason every other video explaining what a capacitor was, I didn't quite grasp it, however this one helped me understand a lot better, Thanks mate P.S. the quality was great :)

Very nice Pls explain the other components like capistor

This is what I wanted......looking for such type of vedio that explained theoretically and practically.....I have watched many vedios .but they don't have deep knowledge therein.... ..I request you to...make vedio on plastic transformer used in mobile chargers....and also make vedio on small circuits...like led glowing at fullest , water tank alarm ....with this type of demostration....... Thanks a lot sir....from india

Thanks for the video! Well done!

Superb ! Best ! Awesome explanation

Man that is really great content

Best explanation 🙏

This was an amazing video. Thanks a lot.

Thanks. Its help me a lot in EE study.

So many years wondering what a capacitor is until I decided I wanted to actually learn, less than 5 mins later and thanks to your video the basic concept is clear, thank you!

please explain decoupling through an awesome video like this one..

Thanks for this video. This video helps me a lot thank you

I could be wrong but what I can remember for my basic electric circuits and electronics class was that one of the most basic uses for a capacitor (as well as inductors and some other basic electronic components) is to "condition" the flow of current that goes into and flows through a device. The logic behind needing to condition current flow is that when power is first applied to a circuit the voltage/amperage can be much higher than it should be and the sudden shock of zero voltage/current flowing through sensitive electronic can either destroy them (if they are high enough) or damage them enough that they will fail quicker then they should. While this may not seem to matter to much if we are taking about circuits that are being powered by something like a battery, it is pretty important to electronic devices that are being powered by household AC currents where sudden spikes (and drops) can cause havoc on various components that are unable to tolerate such harsh conditions.

Thanks mate for good explanation

Thanks bro I understand easily by your video

excellent video. good job!
