I'm an as student being benefitted from these amazing videos but I feel kind of sad seeing the teacher doesn't update his channel anymore yet he has over 100k subs
Thank you! This is just so darn good. If you came looking how to understand a potentiometer, watch the whole thing. The beginning examples are ideas necessary to understand the potentiometer concept.
These longer videos are useful, it's so much easier to understand more when you lead from one thing to another, and always thinking back to one particular example. Also nice to have examples to real life as sometimes electricity just seems to me too random to be part of everyday life. Thanks for the videos.
Expertly presented! Was having a bit of trouble understanding the difference between rheostats and potentiometers, and you outlined it all in a way that was extremely easy to grasp. Thank you!
yes this is since Resistance is directly proportional to Length and inversely proportional to cross sectional area( this is only where there is a wire across a circuit). But if this resistor was a thermistor since the resistance of a thermistor is also now dependent on the temperature of the thermistor , actually now it is an inverse proportionality meaning as the temperature of the thermistor is increasing , the resistance will decrease
i have already written my A level physics(100 percent for theory). but i still love coming to watch these videos. they are amazing and remarkably entertaining.
Great video! At the very end when you solve x = 4.4cm ....you were actually solving x for the value of R1, so it should be x = 4.4 Ohms. Or, Vo = 4v when the position of the potentiometer is such that R1 = 4.4 Ohms. Thanks!
They pretty much do the same thing. But one has three terminals and the other only two. in essence, in the former, you apply the full voltages across the device and tap off a particular value. In the second case you are simply using a variable resistance.
As soon as you hook something up across Vo it is going to draw some current. So the current passing through R1 is no longer the original I value, and so how can Vo still be 5V?
whenever you hook up a resistive load across one of the two resistors in the voltage divider... i did some googling to learn more and apparently they call it loading effect..
just curious if you had a 10,000 ohm varible resistor what is the minimum resistance? is it 0ohm? or do they still restist when turned down? or should i say what is the minimum resistance of a 10k variable restor? is it 0ohms?, i think there's still resistance, i got a 470ohm variable resistor on a fan and it's spinnering slower then it should, i only need 70 ohms for the fan but it seems the resistor is resisting more then just 70 ohms when dialed right down?
Sir, when you talk about the output voltage in a potential devider, if we decide to connect anything in parrallel with that resistor, such as a light bulb, wouldn't that just change the resistance because we now have a series-parrallel combination? Also, when we talk about practical uses, those 6V that you wanted across one of the resistors, would we imagine our selves placing a bulb instead of the resistor, or connecting a bulb in parrallel with the resistor?
Just like any resistor the by product is heat. So how do you size the potentiometer. If the potentiometer (Pot) is too small you will burn a spot in the middle of the pot variable
Thank you for the explanation.I realize that this is a long question but I would appreciate help!!I have a question regarding the last minute of the video. If we connect a bulb to the potentiometer, such that the output voltage reaches the bulb, what would happen if we move the slider to the part where it gives 0 output voltage? Will the bulb light up? Because essentially the bulb is connected in parallel to the battery so shouldn't it receive voltage from it directly and light up regardless of the output voltage? Thanking you in advance..
In real world, if I want to control the brightness of light bulb, I should design this circuit in potentiometer method or in rheostats method? Which one is most appropriate and high efficiency?
In potentiometer circuit ,when electrons are travelling from the negative terminal of the battery to positive ,why is the resistance at the tail of the resister considered zero?shouldn't it be considered 10?as now electrons has to travel the longer paath?
so if you have one power source of 10 V and drop five 2 ohm resistors into it , then you could run five 2 volt lines to power 5 other separate things. well actually no, because those lines would draw from the source. so you would divide and use?? once or twice?
Kiran Gudigar A rheostat is a variable resistance. Only the slider and one other terminal are used. A potentiometer uses all three terminals, enabling a variable voltage or signal to be tapped off from the slider.

maybe he will once the curriculum changes

The resistance varies with the length of the active part of the potentiometer. So as length decreases so does resistance.
Sir, why did you stop uploading videos since 6 years :/
yes this is since Resistance is directly proportional to Length and inversely proportional to cross sectional area( this is only where there is a wire across a circuit). But if this resistor was a thermistor since the resistance of a thermistor is also now dependent on the temperature of the thermistor , actually now it is an inverse proportionality meaning as the temperature of the thermistor is increasing , the resistance will decrease
Potentiometers - 10:03
Lmfao tysm
Brilliant. I've had this explained to me before but no so simply and eloquently that I understood. Thanks.
Lovely! You are a teacher, I enjoyed d video so much I had to see out the entire minutes without skipping a second. Salute ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Good luck. I hope they go well.
i have already written my A level physics(100 percent for theory). but i still love coming to watch these videos. they are amazing and remarkably entertaining.
He loves green marker, but the best Physics teacher in RUclips
Just wish he continued to make videos
This was the best version I've seen.
Thanks Sir You are really explaining by excellent stepwise simple way
i swear you are the best teacher
If you could use the original symbol for the resistor, It'd be more helpful.
Such a beautiful explaination. Period.
Thank you very much sir. You saved me from lots of confusions.
14:17 Vsauce xD
HAHAH this is gold

incorrect! he was solving for the length of the potentiometer that gives the required voltage and resistance
THANKYOU this helped me so much!

As soon as you hook something up across Vo it is going to draw some current. So the current passing through R1 is no longer the original I value, and so how can Vo still be 5V?
Can you tell me the time at which this happens please?
whenever you hook up a resistive load across one of the two resistors in the voltage divider... i did some googling to learn more and apparently they call it loading effect..
Wow! Can't believe we are doing A Level Physics in Grade 9
wow! when i was in grade 9 i didnt have any of these, im in my first year of A levels and im learning this now
Where are you from lmao
me too??????
Excellent, subscribed.
Pronounce current as a maximum current... Which is perfect
Thank you so much. That was so helpful!
Do we make the assumption that the resistance would be equal to the length in 14:37 at all times?
Yes as long as the resistance is uniform.
Thank you
Something that teachers in school generally dont teach us :p
Thank you like hell :)
just curious if you had a 10,000 ohm varible resistor what is the minimum resistance? is it 0ohm? or do they still restist when turned down? or should i say what is the minimum resistance of a 10k variable restor? is it 0ohms?, i think there's still resistance, i got a 470ohm variable resistor on a fan and it's spinnering slower then it should, i only need 70 ohms for the fan but it seems the resistor is resisting more then just 70 ohms when dialed right down?

Thank you so much
why would the voltage not change in the potentiometer
very wonderful

Thank you kindly
In potentiometer circuit ,when electrons are travelling from the negative terminal of the battery to positive ,why is the resistance at the tail of the resister considered zero?shouldn't it be considered 10?as now electrons has to travel the longer paath?
please make one more video about wheatstone bridge
So it means R1 + R2 = 10ohm? in every condtion or in saturn condition?
careful DrPhysicsA, are these batteries or are these cells??
At time in the video 11:58, how does one get R1 + R2 = 10?
What is the difference between a potentiometer and a rheostat?
so if you have one power source of 10 V and drop five 2 ohm resistors into it , then you could run five 2 volt lines to power 5 other separate things. well actually no, because those lines would draw from the source. so you would divide and use?? once or twice?
in potentiometer if upper wire is removed and attached to the lower part of wire?
Does the potentiometer and the rheostat holds the same definition?
Thanks sir!
9:50 How does 3R1=2R1+2R2 simplify to R1=2R2? Shouldn't it be R1=(2R1+2R2)/3?
You just plop the 2R1 on the left side. I mean your question is probably not relevant anymore after a month but whatever :D :D
Thanks
THANKS SIR
please do clear ma dobt anyone :
is it right to draw the effective " divided potenial " in the circuit with a celland an internal resistance symbol ?
No
The best
what is difference between rheostat and potentiometer
Kiran Gudigar A rheostat is a variable resistance. Only the slider and one other terminal are used. A potentiometer uses all three terminals, enabling a variable voltage or signal to be tapped off from the slider.
i learn this for o level
So reostat is dc

I dont believe he has the time for all of us, so I suggest you to just be patient :)
Sir, why don't u reply my Answers ?
Live saver XXXXXXXX
Hindi me potentiometer he to upload ki jiye
As-level unit 2 tomorrow ._.
Not you again xD
