you explained that better than my physics 103 professor. thank you for the vid!

[@doriansw305]

This is EXACTLY whay I was looking for for HOURS! I just couldn't grasp the concept of parallel wiring of outlets, but now it makes sense! Thanks!!!

[@oscarblackbone]

Sir, you are just destined to be a teacher. You make technically difficult subject look so easy. I have for decades tried to understand what parallel and series circuits are, but you just gave a clear explanation of the mystery. You are the best there is. Thanks a million.

[@adamtp17]

your explaining is great. i've been watching a couple of your videos and it's been helping me a lot for my garage light projects

[@trapped7534]

Love to learn new things. Thanks ‼️‼️ God Bless you and yours 💕

[@bennymario5876]

This video is easy to follow and doesn’t get too technical for beginners nicely done 👍

[@Obfgjkkjbcffhhjg]

Look, in earnest you make very clear and great knowledge videos. Thank you for your service.

[@buszilla]

thanks🙏

GREAT job explaining! thanks!!!!

[@vickreyc]

sweet ... this helped alot ... thanks man !

What would happen if I wired a 4th outlet on that same circuit but I connect the blue wire to the gold screw and the black to the silver screw?

[@yoestrella]

This was very helpful video as well as others
After much tinkering, I am realizing some times items I plug into a the wall then don't but work on other plugs, does that mean the circuit breaker is failing?

[@brettleybuilt]

I am guessing you are plugging the device into outlets on other circuits?

[@yoestrella]

correct, on a different circuit breaker

[@aaronlangford8172]

Maybe I missed an explanation somewhere, but why are the hot wires pig-tailed in this situation rather than just having one black wire on each screw on the right side like I saw in a previous video of yours? Might be a dumb question.

[@brettleybuilt]

If you were watching Electrical Basics, I made a follow up video correcting that. I should have pig tailed the wires in Electrical Basics.
