How to Build Electronic Circuits : How Resistors Work in Parallel Circuits

[JoeHornacek]

Great Video. I am just starting to learn about Electronics

[FERNANDOPENAS]

Geat explanation..I am learning electronics and I was a little stuck on parallel circuit.. You gave me more understanding ..Thanks

[michelovando31]

how come the more resistance you have in the conductor the more current flow you have?  i though the more resistance you have the less current flow

[5alo0f]

@michelovando31

Obviously the current will be reduced if the resistance increased (according to the equation I=V/R). But according to this video, current will go through the least resistance.

[fabmkk]

this was somehow useful for beginners like me, thanks!!

[townshend445]

this video sucks

[catchYOYO22]

goodstuff:) much thanks

[MyManDan]

i am not looking forward to this

[Shiznit304]

Again another fail video from Expert Village

[gaussman08]

but explanation but a little lame video

[pclle]

Electricity takes the path of least resistance

[heypoolboy78]

@pclle electricity takes ALL paths. While there will be more available energy on the path with the least resistance, the power applied will take every available path.

how can i connect 100 or 200 leds and maka them flashy running? and power the with batteries how man batteries? ho many resistors? do i need other components?

thanks.

Excellent illustration of the property differences between resistors connected in series and parallel.

[BALAS009]

Most LEDs have their characteristics specified at a current of 20 mA. So if you want to calculate the resistor rating then you have 6v(PowerSupply)-3v(Led)=3 and

R=V/I, R=3*1000/(20)=150 ohms

[H3141]

so if i had a battery of 6V and my LED could only take 3V. What kind of resistor do i need?

[plimboy11]

3v resistor?:)

[TurtIedd]

150ohm resistor 1/8W.

[jishan22]

I measured the resistance of a 5.1K(5,1K) , which is actaully 5.17K, and a 10K, which is actaully 10.27K, and its resistance in parallel is 3.44K.

[UserIsAnFBIAgent]

So your saying that resistors in parallel in a circuit doubles the normal voltage?

[molnez]

If anyone want to know the formula for calculating resistans in parallel circuits it's 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2.

If the circuit has three resistors the formula will look like this

1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3. If there is four resistors you add + 1/R4 and so on.

[Linneawow]

Nvm you weren't done building..

[Linneawow]

Isn't your circuit in series?

[minion6500]

couldnt u just use a smaller resistor if u wanted more current to flow?

[ooania]

Yes, exactly. You can do that.

[aihumlay]

thanks for video and it help me understand more but can you show some calculate of series and parallel circuit...

[thoughtt]

good vid

hi i'm a physics student try to fully understand the concepts of circuits. thanks for the brief lesson. It made some things easier to understand.
