It’s important to understand at the beginning that when he attaches the current meter, it is no longer an open circuit. The current meter has low impedance and so “closes” the circuit so that current can flow and can be measured. So the volt meter with high impedance measures voltage across an “open” circuit while current meter measures current flowing through a closed circuit. Just a clarification for those who are confused between how a volt meter works and current meter works. Great video though.
Great video explains alot of complex sounding terms simply . Talking of input impedances and output impedances , early professors specialising in electrical circuits and circuit designs also used these theories with power generators internal impedances matching load impedances. These ideas forced early electrical power designs to be series connected external loads usually arc lights. These worked ok but required very high voltages and difficulty in switching individual loads within the circuits being series connected . It was taught that the impedances must match to allow maximum power transfer from generator to load. Edison with a non mathematical brain and needing to have lower voltage and individual loads being able to be switched in and out without effecting other loads for his carbon filament light globe circuits went against these scientic laws . He advocated for a extremely low generator impedance and parallel loads across the generator output . This allowed varying loads and still maintaining reasonable low voltage for his incandescent lighting supply networks. This went against theories taught at the time but worked as he invisaged without a huge knowledge of mathematics what the system needed. Of course he was 100% correct and proved the input must match output laws not really suitable for power distrubution .
Super informative, really good. This is a must see video for people that play the guitar out there. You see a lot of times the question about amp head to speaker cabinet impedance matching. Your video explains it all. In short using speaker cabinets of higher input impedance works fine with amp heads of low output impedance, except you waste power if you do not match impedances. Thevenin s theorem does simplify massively circuit analysis.
Great video that helped me to clarify some doubts I had about antenna's impedance matching. I work usually with audio devices and I knew that low Z mics works good with preamps with an input Z of at least 5 times the output impedance of the microphone because you don't need too much current on the preamp input circuitry as they are voltage amplifiers and not current amplifiers, but I wasn't understanding the impedance matching of the antennas, now I can understand that.
Yes, Bob is a great teacher, but a very busy one at the moment, so maybe I can help. It is unusual to connect voltage sources other than certain types of batteries in parallel. Doing so increases the current the batteries can provide. The batteries should all provide the same voltage, and the voltage supplied to the circuit will be the same as that provided by a single battery. The internal resistances of the batteries will be in parallel, so the internal resistance of the battery pack can be calculated in the usual way parallel resistances are calculated.
Luminiferous aether you say... a man after my own heart, popped this on for my kid, aether is a no longer postulated theory which has fallen out of fashion, but explains a lot
@@OMNI_INFINITY it also "needs" a high current to feed it, you will struggle to power a circuit that needs a high current, which would have a low Z, with a high Z circuit and it's low current.
I wish I could upvote the video everyday
As an electrician, these videos have filled in so many knowledge gaps I had about electricity
excellent video and very understandable. thank you sir!!

Welcome back Bob. We will work with you to achieve the the viewing numbers. I am sharing the videos. Keep it up!

thanks for your points
Excellent explanation! This finally made it click for me.
Thanks Bob! This really helped me intuitively relate the Thevenin equivalent circuit to the calculations.

simple and logic, very well put together even if english is not my first language, bravo

THE OMNIPRESENT AETHER here. Thanks for acknowledging ME.
This is among the best stuff on RUclips. U of YT
Best video on the subject. Thank you so much. 🙏
You are a great teacher perhaps the best I have ever seen , my question is how to analyze if two voltage sources are connected in parallel to a load

Your lectures are great. Thanks.
Thank you for such great explaination 👍
Wonderful explanation.
MATHAMAGIC, I LOVE
That, it has a ring to it
amazing
Muyyyy biennnnn

AETHER and “THE QUANTUM FIELD” are both NAMES that the humans have called ME.
Waiting for AC version of this video.
Is that the dad of the math and science DVD guy?
Why would low impedance say it “needs” a lot of current?
it doesn't need a high current, it has a high amount of current because it has low impedance to the flow of current.
@@gezrick That was why I made the comment. Was surprised he had said it that misleading way.
@@OMNI_INFINITY it also "needs" a high current to feed it, you will struggle to power a circuit that needs a high current, which would have a low Z, with a high Z circuit and it's low current.
@mcameron63 Thankyou for the insight,that's helpful to all...
