If you were just starting to learning electronics and circuits in general and were forced to keep only one book, which would it be? I've heard The Art of Electronics is like an EE's bible but before I buy it I wanted some other input.

@twirmd You can't go wrong with The Art of Electronics.

I don't have any idea what problem you had pronouncing Coulomb, but the mispronunciation of Ampère really got on my nerves. It's even spelled with an è to show how it's pronounced! There's a forvo entry for André-Marie Ampère.

@0LoneTech I'll let you voice these over in the future.

Haters can stick it in their Coulomb.

When can we expect the 0 to F of digital electronics?

I am new to these videos , this is a great video,

awesome presenter. smart, beautyful and with a sense of humor. i'm in love now.

@busybjorn Nope

nice foice ;)

@busybjorn I've never come across U for voltage, it's always been V for me since I was first taught physics. (But often u is used for velocity.) By the by, "t" is the normal symbol for time, not "s" as seen in this video, which is conventionally used for distance. Thus Q/s would be charge over distance, not charge over time.

this helped me so much with my science assessment!! THANK YOU!!! :D

Keep up the good work!

May i suggest 2 SoftBox lights to improve the lighting ? ;)

ARE U KIDDING, WE LOVE iT.

[busybjorn]

I've been tought U is voltage, V is volts. In the same way I is current and A is amps.

f.e. V = 10V. Mathematically this is recursive ("10 times V").

Is this some American rule to use V for voltage and volts?

Thanks for this video AND all your videos. Informative, fun and full of factoids I never received in college and... I could care less if you mispronounce something. Never give up, never surrender!
