  • Derives and applies the equations for equivalent resistance in parallel. Explains how parallel resistors always give a resistance less than the smallest resistor.

    Many students have written to thank me for the success they had with their IB Physics exams and their IA or Extended Essay. Though the style is that of Khan Academy, the videos are more specific to the IB content, contain more simulations and interactive examples, and are performed by someone who has 25 years of experience teaching IB Physics, an MSc in Physics from a top University, and who was an NSERC scholar.
    "I would just like to say a massive thank you to you for uploading your videos. I started the IB [and]decided to try HL Physics as it seemed interesting. It turned out to be very far from my forté and I was consistently getting 3s and 4s in tests and mock exams. So a few months before the exam period of this year, I began to panic...Then I discovered your channel. For four weeks prior to paper one, I virtually worshipped your videos, and worked along to them in my 'Big Book of Revision.' Last week, I received my results. Incredibly and almost unbelievably, I obtained a 6 in HL Physics. Not only that, but I was 3 marks off a 7."

    these are such annoying problems but set us up for great success in advanced circuits! Thank you Mr. Doner :)

    Sir, Greetings From India!
    Thank You So Much for the immense easiness and clarity in your videos.
    Thanks, Your Humble Subscriber and Liker!
    Thank You!
    I am obliged. By the way, I am studying for my Extensive Exam( Half-Yearly) in India, Class X. - Electricity/ NCERT Book.
    Once again, my humble thanks!

    Thank you for such high quality videos, I was wondering if your diagrams of circuits can include resistance as a box instead of the zig zag since the ib recommends that.

      The IB uses boxes but also expects that you are able to work with underlying concepts so that you flexible in your use of symbols.

    can one also think of the example at 5:17 such that the equivalent resistance will be less than 10 ohms because since 10 ohms is the smallest resistance, most of the current will take that path but a small amount will take the 20 and 500 ohm paths?

    • @donerphysics
      @donerphysics  6 лет назад

      That is right. It is a little different from the previous example since 20 ohms is comparable to 10 ohms, but the reasoning is the same.

    Sorry but at 13:15, how did you get 3.91? didnt you do 18/5 = 3.6

    I was just thinking, at around 4:30, shouldn't the equivalent resistance be a little more than 1 ohm? Because the other resistances are greater than 1 ohm, so how could the overall resistance be smaller? I understand the idea of more paths making current flow easier, but how do we know that this outweighs the increased resistance of that path?

    • @donerphysics
      @donerphysics  6 лет назад +1

      There is no increased resistance of the path...just more paths.

    I believe that the last example turns out to have 128.798 so approximately 129 ohms
