    In this informative video, we dive deep into the world of electrical circuits to uncover the secrets of resistance, reactance, and impedance. Join us as we unravel these essential concepts and how they impact current flow, voltage behavior, and overall circuit performance.
    We start by exploring the relationship between voltage and current, emphasizing the differences between direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). Learn how voltage changes influence current flow, and why AC circuits exhibit unique behaviors.
    Discover how electronic components affect current behavior in both DC and AC circuits, with a focus on resistance, inductive reactance, and capacitive reactance. These components play crucial roles in shaping the current's response to voltage changes.
    We use relatable water analogies to explain complex concepts, making it easier to grasp the fundamentals of electrical circuits. See how resistance resists the flow, and how inductive reactance and capacitive reactance introduce delays in current response to voltage changes.
    Explore how impedance, the total effect of these factors, affects current within a circuit, providing a comprehensive understanding of these essential electrical principles.
    Join us on this journey to demystify the world of resistance, reactance, and impedance, and gain valuable insights into the behavior of electrical circuits. Don't miss out-watch now to enhance your knowledge of circuitry!

    Nice explanation. Many moons ago when I was in the Navy electrician school they taught us "ELI the ICE man" to help us remember. Voltage leads current in an inductive circuit = ELI and current leads voltage in a capacitive = ICE. Of all the things I did forget that was one of the things which stuck.

    • @toddb930
      @toddb930 6 месяцев назад

      Same with me. Except I was Air Force.
      One other thing I learned in my Air Force electronics training was that current flowed from negative to posiitive. After the AF I went to college to get an EE degree. There they taught current flow from positive to negative.

    Resistance is the zeroth order reaction. Reactance is the first order derivative, in which an inductor opposes change in current with instantaneous change in voltage, and the capacitor resists change in voltage with instantaneous change in current. In brief, resistance is response to a constant. Reactance is a response change. Combining both reactive effects plus resistance, the sum is called impedance.

      I agree, was waiting to see how voltage/current lag would be shown with water, and the water wheel was perfect. There you can see without words how it works. Which has me thinking maybe the best explanations are ones that just boild everything down to untiuve bits, idealy without words, after all everything we're talking about is phsyical and we should be able to show what we're talking about with some sort of analogous action. I would love to see more mathematical relationships shown with action. I guess graphs are the closest thing but they're not intutive either, having to process mentally whats going on with a curve. Like a sine wave is circular motion through time but the graph doesnt make that obivouse. But say something like a gradient, you can see right away which parts are heavily concentrated which ones arent, its obviouse, a 2d graph you need to use a legend to figure out which was is up even.

    • @paules0099
      @paules0099 5 месяцев назад

      The best way I remembered reactance from inductors and capacitance is ELI the ICE man. E for voltage, L for inductor, I for current, meaning voltage leads current in an inductance and I for current, C for capacitor, E for voltage, meaning Current leads voltage in a capacitor.

    This video is certainly the best I have ever seen on this subject.
    I too devised this capacitor model of a membrane in a chamber many years ago and never seen anybody else using it before.
    I think that the only point you could improve is explaining that the paradoxical behavior of the current (or water) flowing ahead of the voltage (or pressure) being applied is due to the voltage stored inside the capacitor (or the elastic force of the stretched membrane). Of course that that does not work for the very first cycle.

    6:10 it is important to realize that the current in the circuit does not change. If water flows with (for example) 1 litre/minute through the narrow socket, then it also flows at 1 litre/minute in the wider tubes. It just moves faster through the narrow socket. Same in an electrical circuit; if you introduce a resistor, the flow of electrons (the "current") is the same everywhere in the (serial) circuit, including inside the resistor.

    • @andreiv3627
      @andreiv3627 6 месяцев назад

      hello, what are you saying is that as long as the Force is the same in both cases, (case 1 pipe having same diameter, case 2 pipe narrows and then comes back at same diameter ) the flow of water would be the same? "Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy. The principle is named after Daniel Bernoulli, a swiss mathemetician, who published it in 1738 in his book Hydrodynamics."

    • @dexterlyndonsabusap1192
      @dexterlyndonsabusap1192 5 месяцев назад

      I agree. Also, if the voltage is analogous to force, which in water flow is due to pressure, then the introduction of a resistor in a circuit should affect the voltage and not the current.
