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 circuitr

I’m 60 years old and I have seen hundreds of videos on electronics. This is, undoubtedly, the best explanation I have ever seen. Subbed.
-
In my 4 years of studying elecrical engineering, never seen such a excellent example like this
-
As Noah's 4,234 year old son, I have never seen an example as clear as this! Struggled understanding the concept before, now I can go and build the second tower of Babel without any difficulties. Subscribed!
-
Im an ancient 493 year old man, and this is by far the great explanation i have ever seen across the centuries I have roamed this earth. Liked, subscribed, and rang the bell.

Excellent. All stuff I knew 50+ years ago as an engineering student, but forgot. Great re-education for me.I cannot wait to see more of your videos. The diaphragm and water wheel did the trick to making it understandable.
-
If a picture can speak a thousand words, a video speaks a trillion. And this video in particular proves that these statements are true. Thanks 👍
-
Man- you made thing's so simple for me to understand! Given the much complex nature of stuff to grasp - your animations really are worthwhile n efforts r laudable!!! 👍
-
This brought me back to my electronic engineering class! We were taught using the same analogy way back in 1980!
-
45 years later, and I finally grok capacitors (in signal circuits, specifically). You did that. Thank you.
-
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.
-
I'm new to electronics, and some of the concepts are so hard to grasp. This is by far the best video I've seen, everything is SUPER easy to understand and extremely inspiring!
-
The elastic membrane analogy for a capacitor in an electrical circuit is genius. In most circuits it is hard to visualize that no current is actually flowing thru the cap, but there is still an energy exchange.
-
By far the best video on this topic, period. Brilliant explanation, brilliant analogy, brilliant animation. The world needs more people like you. Hats off to you and your team for working this hard!
-
Very clear exposition, among so many contents useless to the dissemination of knowledge, here is something really well explained. Thank you very much
-
Loved the analogy with water flow. This video cleared alot of doubts i had. Thanks a lot👍
-
Ideal balance of brevity and completeness. Bravo.
-
absolute knowledge and I bet that my teacher woudnt teach me like that, hats off to U Prof Mad
-
Excellent description of the topics with easy to understand explanations accompanied by clear diagrams.
-
The best explanation ever by using mechanical concepts. Great job!
-
So far it's the best visual explanation of concept I've seen.
