Haha no prob. Just trying to be funny. I learned everything from you. You are an example of how all teacher should be.

@OnyangD Yes, and thanks for the good laugh! Glad you like the videos.

fajny filmik. lepiej od mojego nauczyciela. :)

[derekowens]

@oxyfenylethylamine  Dzięki! Cieszę się, że się podobało.

thanks ur better than my physics teacher

If ze resistors are in parallel, and one of zem has more resistance than ze others, then zat resistor will get less current. Zhere will be fewer electrons flowing through it. Ze voltage will be ze same, though. Each electron still loses ze same amount of energy.  Zhere is less energy, though, because of less current, fewer electrons, not because of less voltage.

Hey Dere,

I liked the video, Do you happen to have a video where you show all the steps into getting the right resistance? That part lost me since I have never been thought anything more than flipping the fraction,

Thanks

[derekowens]

@OnyangD Haha - thanks. I appreciate the thought - in the right way, of course. Gotta delete that comment, though.

DO

Derek Owens... ur explanation makes my Physics report more easy 2 understand...

ur video really is a great help 4 a 4th year high school student lyk me.... Thenks so much :)

@derekowens, what software do you use to create these tutorials, software seems to be pretty awesome! n yeah if I keep on referring to your tutorials, I swear I'll score an A grade in all my assessments..., I'd love to know about the software...
