Not studying electrical engineering, not planning on it, just figured I'd spend my time on YouTube watching something meaningful for once. Thank you for these videos.

I am a 2nd year electronic engineering student and this is more informative than any lecture. Its grand learning complex equations but its really important to understand the basics ...which can actually be fairly complicated

In all the years I studied engineering, I was <b>never</b> shown an animation that so literally demonstrated the flow of electricity changing direction in AC circuit. I never truly understood that - what I learned was only from looking at the sine wave. The whole concept of bridge rectifiers and inverters suddenly makes sense now. I mean, I got it before, but I didn't <b>get</b> it. Now I do. Amazing.

I think you need a further correction for the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcL2_D33k3o&t=636">10:36</a> mark.<br>You have in the text: "One Coulomb =" BIG number "per second".<br>A coulomb is just the number of charged particles without any time dimension.<br>BIG number per second would be an Ampere.<br>Great teaching work, thank you.

This makes so much sense! I'm planning on becoming an engineer, so I find this stuff so fascinating. Once you figure out the basics like electrical current, the complex stuff starts to make sense.

I am a 47 year old man and am learning how electricity works. Over the years I had a good idea but at work I am in school learning new things that require electrical knowledge of vehicles. I am here to learn, thank you for providing a good teacher.

Yo! Just wanna say your videos are amazing at explaining stuff! Schools should be using animations like yours, it's 2020 already.<br>I plan to do a marathon of TEM videos soon. Thank you for making these FR.
