One perfectly clear 8 minute video clears up a week of textbook confusion! Amazing, isn't it?!!!

This video helped out quite a bit. My book confused the crap out of me.

This video helped me understanding things that were supposedly obvious but weren't so. Thank you very much for this and your other videos. They are great because you don't skip the "obvious" and state everything clearly, which helps understand every concept you're teaching. Seems you and your team put a lot of thought in them. Thanks for making them public. As a student, I appreciate it very much.

This was great. I didn't know that passive circuit elements could have current going in opposite directions.

These videos really just so great. Thank you guys for putting them up. Simpler and clearer than both my professor and textbook.

Thank you so much! You explained the concept very clearly and concisely. I read and watched many sources on passive sign convention, and your video was the only source that helped me understand!

Your video is very helpful. Helped me understand the lesson more. I am a student from Thailand Thank you very much.

wish i watched this vid before the midterm. I got all confused in the exam and didnt know what to pick. Your video helped me a lot now that I'm taking the course again :D thanks!

Your explanation is straight to the point. Very powerful explanations.

Sir your teaching is excellent. Thanks from Pakistan

Excellent and simple explanation!

Spring 2016 Circuits student here. So basically step 1) *draw arrows parallel to each passive element in the circuit?* rule 1) current always enters positive voltage terminal

Thanks very clear and well explained !

Thanks my teacher said in about 20 seconds that we were gonna use this and then didn't explain it at all.

thanks for saving me from 3 days of polarity confusion trauma

Excellent clarification !

Goodness gravy thank you so much

Your videos are Awsome! Really helped me!! 👏👏

most salient explanation I've heard of these rules. Thank you! I'm curious though... While I understand that a passive element is autonomous and the math works out if I consider current in one direction for one element , and the opposite direction for the next one in a series, however... why would anyone WANT to do that? Isn't it much cleaner and simpler to think about if you ensure that current flows in the same direction as your current/voltage source(s) ?

Very clear! Thanks

Thank you!

Excellent

thanks it is helpful

So useful

brilliant

In 6:11 how can we have two currents i1 and i2 and different polarities for the nearby elements?

explanation in perfect simplicity. thank for that..

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 well done

7:04 I feel like I get a big slap on my face because tbh, I wastes so much time on the sign when I was doing my assigments
