Electronics 101 - Resistors & Resistance Part 1

[89DrFunk]

Thank you very much for the videos! I am a newbie and I bought a cheap multimeter and didn't have a clue on how to use it now I'm okay with the basics. Ever thought about making a channel on YouTube millimeters for dummies with examples on the basics uses.

so the difference between the 72 and 81 is what the resistors are giving off as heat?

[KeithWasHere1]

can someone verify for me? when something is ran in series the voltage changes but the amps stays the same and when something is ran in parallel the amps changes but the voltage stays the same?

thank you

@TechnoMaple You are welcome

Lol, that's what I get for not looking at the comments before posting... didn't see that question had already been asked.

[bitbreaker]

So what's the difference between a variable resistor and a potentiometer(sp?).

great music in the background by the way.

[stuckinthecities]

What's the difference between the 100W variable resistor and a potentiometer? They are constructed the same.

Very interesting/informative tutorial...also enjoyed the background music at the beginning! I'm going to subscribe...looking forward to more videos!

i got a question. my headlights and my daytime running lights uses the same bulb and are both connected to one wire that is coming from the main source. Now I want to relocate or rewire the DRL to a different bulb but I need a special relay or something that can split the signal from the main source. thanks

The thing you forgot to think about was the resistance of the meter..... Your supply E was 13.66.. Across one resistor the measured voltage was 6.72.. Probably if you measured the other one it also would be 6.72 also... That adds up to 13.44.....

The internal resistance of the meter has to be considered.. because when placing it across 1 leg it is like adding another resistor in parallel . Think about it..

Thank you very much for sharing. I learn alot. This video is so much better to understand than my lab physics class (which unfortunately I always fall to to sleep) haa haa haa

@LAsalsero12 Thanks for your comment and you are welcome

Good song in the background

Good video but from 5 minutes It gets stuck I tried to watch it 6 times this is the seventh still same

[X2YeZCAMCNC]

@cristoretornebiblia I am not sure why I have tried it a few times and don't seem to have any problems. Let me know if you eventually get to see eh.

@X2YeZCAMCNC Hi, Great video, it was my dud work connection, great video. Make a video if you can on MOSFET

[X2YeZCAMCNC]

@cristoretornebiblia Glad you got that sorted out

[Casey2734]

Great video!

@Casey2734 Thanks
