Great work, Leo. Self-taught in electronics, I was put off by the math. 27 years later, I'm teaching my students with a similar intuitive approach first and will definitely point them toward your video series. You're a great explainer. Respect and thanks from Waterloo, Ontario Canada.

I have never been one who intuitively understood mathematics, it has always been very foreign to me. So, years ago, I struggled greatly with it. Then one day while in a used book store I found a copy of Mathematics For Electronics, by Clyde N. Herrick. This author assumes that the reader does not have any previous training in math and he takes you one step at a time through it. I have learned a great deal from this book and it is an invaluable resource for me. He puts all those authors out there writing math books to shame, as the vast majority of them assume all you are wanting is a refresher course. I would suggest to everyone interested in learning electronics to do everything they can to locate and buy a copy of this book. They won't regret it.

I love the analogies and the simplicity you bring to these concepts. I am currently learning electronics from University and I am here to say that I would have caught on so much faster if the fundamentals were explained this way. I remember when I was first learning about voltage and current from school having such a difficult time understanding what was actually going on. If I watched this during my first semester I would have saved myself tons of headache for my future classes.

Simply explained. For many students, this is often a difficult subject to grasp. The relationship between voltage and current is not easy to explain, but you managed it expertly. We are hoping that you will continue this course into semiconductors and beyond.

I just found your youtube channel and am totally blow away by your knowledge and teaching skills. I have a Masters Degree in Science of Teaching and can say you have mad skills. I also watched one of your other videos where you say you are a high school drop out. Yet I see a person with a comprehension of electronics that some formal educated people do not have. I can only imagine what knowledge you would have and the contributions you could make if you had a PhD in electrical Engineering. You also would have made a top notch teacher for high school or an adjunct professor at a University. I especially liked the part where you said you learned the hard way by keeping your nose to the grind stone and not quitting. My education is in the sciences, chemistry, biology and mechanical engineering. I am now 66 years old and retired and have been learning electronics over the last three years just as you did by teaching myself, trial and error, reading and doing and keeping my nose to the grind stone. I now have gotten to the level where I have a small shop in my basement and repair radio receivers, stereos and other home electronic devices as a hobby. Thank you for your efforts to teach and I subscribed and will be watching all of your content.

This is so kool!!! LoL when I first heard you I thought “Oh No” what is this guy selling. Then I said to myself, calm down and listen to what he says on a lesson. I love the concept you are using to get us started. I’m 75 and retired, I had my own business for almost 60yrs mostly creating things for people on furniture or in their homes plus add some music in along the way. So now I decided I’m not throwing one more tool, appliance or gadget away that looks brand new unless I try and fix it. I’ve purchased the basic tools and already fixed a few things😊 Next phase please, lol, electronics. Is there someway we can support you here? Thank you very much!!!

Voltage divider circuits would be a good mention because I used one once in a low-current situation to take the magneto output of an engine and divide it down to 5V level. Notice I said low current though, just for signaling, so I didn’t need to use high power resistors. Your video here really demonstrates why! ❤

I’m 52, and have never been exposed to electronics. But I’m very interested in learning! I’m horrible at math and one other video started right into it and I freaked out and left. Since then I’ve bought a kids snap circuit kit to hopefully help me understand but I’m finding myself upset that they show you project but not offer the whys in how it works. I found your videos and I hope that I can catch on and not get overwhelmed by the math of it. Looking forward to the next video!

I can definitely relate. Too many instructional materials focus on the math instead of concepts. Instead of explaining relationships using real world analogies, many of them jump right into equations and graphs. It's not so much that the math is difficult, often it's just basic algebra. What makes makes it difficult and discouraging is seeing the relationships in the math. Electricity is analogous to hydraulics and pneumatics, yet both are far more intuitive because we all have observed their behaviors and properties in the real world.

In solid copper (and other metals), the electrons are actually unbound. More precisely, the electrons are strongly bound to the extended solid, but they are NOT bound to any particular atom. This is why they are great electrical conductors, why they are great thermal conductors, why they bend easily without breaking, why their heat capacity has no aT term, etc. Each conduction electron is 'delocalized;' each wave function occupies the entire object. There is no way to identify any particular electron because they are all exactly the same. To predict what we actually observe, it is necessary to expect that they spontaneously exchange states in pairs at short, random time intervals. The balls' friction only interacts at the surface of the tube; however, resistance occurs throughout the object's volume. Each electron collects kinetic energy (velocity) from the applied electric field and interactions between the electrons and the 'stationary' atom cores causes these cores' shaking to increase; "phonons" remove energy packets from the electrons' movement and deliver it to the atoms.

Electronic components (silicon, germanium) schematic diagrams use conventional current for the arrows (P to N direction) seen on all of the accepted/standard symbols. It's far easier to explain the diagram with the conventional current as Leo points out. I am an older electronics tech who has worked on complete avionics systems with both transistors and valves across comms and navigation devices.

Point is somebody called negative electron negative is because that electron is full of electron for pretrculy material, so there is no movement inside of atom. When atom which has les atoms (called positive) is added near to atom with full of electrons positive atom will pull- attract electron of negative- full charged atom. That is how to explay that. Not going around and newer really explay to people how that really works !
