A simple guide to electronic components.
A simple guide to electronic components.
By request:- A basic guide to identifying components and their functions for those who are new to electronics. This is a work in progress, and I welcome feedback from you guys on whether I should break it down into more manageable chunks. I’ve kept the maths to a minimum, since it can be off-putting to someone just getting started in electronics.
The idea of this video is to slot in some more of the jigsaw pieces involved in learning electronics, when you start to recognise components, but aren’t quite sure what they are or what they do.
It’s tricky to squeeze even the basics into a single video, and I’ve just realised how long this one is (and why it took all night to upload).

Anode A + cathode C – is how i like to remember those
28:00 of course you can use 600 Ohms. Resistors are cheap, so you can just use a few of them in series to get the right resistance.
I try to be politically correct but the whiskey make me incorrect. Lmao.
Black boys ride our young girls but virgins go without.. that sounds racist or complimentary or size preference.. ehhh not sure. Lol because If I don’t laugh il 😢
8:06 so cool lol
Do you know exactly whats happening
Thank you for creating such a helpful video—it’s rare to come across such a clear presentation of these concepts.
Best demo on capacitance ive seen awesome video
I invented a mnemonic for resistor colour coding when I was about 15 (very many years ago!). It’s not especially funny or clever, but I still remember it: Black Briar Roses Often Yield Great Buckets (of) Very Grey Whitewash.
very good
I’ve seen this a couple of time but it’s always handy when it’s time to work out something.
Amazing! Thank you
You are a great engineer! Thank you for teaching me! EVERYONE, SUBSCRIBE!!!!!
Thank you! Just getting into electronics as an adult and love your videos.
I feel like I somehow know less now because you’ve explained all the very basic easy to understand stuff
"I don’t like metal film resistors because I don’t like their color" LOL!
I was told [I] = current measured in Amps stands for [I]= ‘Intensity’ …V -I- R ='[V]ery [I]mportant [R]ule..an easy way to remember the ‘Ohm’s Law pyramid’..Hey I like that "Billy Brown Revives On Your Gin But Values Good Whiskey’" 😉
How about…
"Billy Brown Revives On Your Gin But Values Good Whisky… Got Some?"
This video is one I come back to every now and again, just for a refresher as it were. The problem I face since I rarely have to build a circuit is falling into my old belief system that a capacitor goes in series with a circuit, instead of across the power supply, as it is. For example I have found myself building little 5 volt power regulators to run off 12 volts supplied by three 18650 cells. When I put them together, I sometimes find that they do not work at all, till I trace it down and see that I have inadvertently stuck the capacitor in the circuit as if it were a resistor instead of across the plus and minus to use as a filter or to add a bit of power to the system when the device calls for more power then is allowed by the 7805. It is usually a quick fix but annoying to see that I keep making the same damn error time after time.
"it’s a rich beige" sounds so much like salesman talk 🤣
Haha beige good old billy Connolly hates that colour, ask him you might know him your Scottish 😏 ps love your Channel iv been doing a bit my self on what iv learnt of you 👍
Thank you so much! This was greatly helpful! Also your point about rude acronyms is so true. When I was in the Army, we used the acronym PVMLS to remember a calisthenics routine: Push-up, V-up, Mountain climber, Leg tuck & twist, Swimmer. The mnemonic?
_Please violate my little sister_ (!)
I heard that once 8 years ago and never forgot it! Or the exercises for that routine! 😂
(Btw, you sound like you come from the same part of Britain as Scott Manley here on YouTube. Is that an accurate assessment?)
Where u het a catelog two get parts
nice explaination sir
This is the best explanation of these things I’ve ever heard. Subscribed.
Tm
@6:26 "So, this is pretty much the construction of capacitors, but, not using cardboard and aluminum foil.."
Ever heard of a place called "Chi-Nah"..?
Nice explanation 👍
How do you know if for example it is R = V : I or I : V?
Actualy water flow is the same but the amount of water that is going trough the narow part ot the pipe is less
36:10… WOW!!
Next, "How to program a Nanode using a Arduino board."
You forgot to explain one of the most important things about electrolyte capasitors: THE GREAT TASTE
You do not want to lick the ends of this thing to check for power!
Would you be interested in making a video about common emitter, common collector and common base transistor circuits that explains it somewhat easy? I think you could do that very well.
Very glad I sat to watch it, my cat walked over my keyboard and usually mashes keys to get 9% of youtubes nut I have happy.
Too many times have I connected an electrolytic capacitor backwards. One time, the entire aluminum can blew off the actual capacitive elements with a loud POP. I was disappointed because it came out of an assortment kit, so I don’t yet have a large pool of my most used values.
Could you use smarty’s if you run out of the correct value capacitor ? Only having a laugh,excellent video.
Thank you very much for your great video. I have the electronics understanding of a mangy ally cat, but I really enjoyed this video. Now I can go and pull the guts out of my neighbours expensive sound system and know exactly what damage I am doing.

Did you do part two yet? if so Where iz it Please? feedback, as requested when you draw out a circuit, can you do it on a single page so us dumb Plumbers can pause the vid, The water analogy is fab, can you only have the components in the shot you are discussing, what about colour 0.0 V Black +V Red, How about draw the symbols in a border around the schematic with its name or Left Right Bottom Top Margin, please keep the schematic free from as much writing as possible.
Semie retired not working just getting into electronics main interest Solar of grid stuff and AV, your vidz make the knowledge very accessible cheers for that. Mick The Plumber
This vid is how I discovered your channel, well actually no the first video from this channel was ages ago but this was the video that made me sub
Can you please shout out
Instructions unclear, lit the fire in the bothy and started sipping a whiskey.
Brilliant video thank you.
The people who disliked this video must have not watched the entire video
Hey i have a question , maybe stupid but l like to know for a project.
I have build a battery spotwelder and i want to use 3 16v capacitors 1x 100uf 1x 220uf and 1x 470uf that release a charge to contract a relay for a consistend weld. (timing)
Now my question is: the capacitors i want to select them with a 3 position selector switch but the negative is combined… i think… correct? do i need to use for each capacitor a diode so the current does not flow in the other 2 capacitors that are not selected at that point.
thx 🙂
16:28 Take a guess.
κάθοδος (kathodos)
I literally wondered into here without any idea what did what. In 30 minutes I’ve learned a lot, that i have missed in 30 years. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and explaining it really well!!
Cool explaining
Thank you Sir .
