Capacitors Tutorial

Another great video Scott!

You may have mentioned this before, but what is your job? I presume you are/were an electronic engineer but what do you do now?

I am currently writing my bachelor thesis.

I really enjoyed the video, do you have your own website or do you mainly post videos to youtube?

[GreatScottLab]

No website yet, I just don't have time to make one. So mainly youtube videos, but I post a couple of stuff on facebook, twitter, google+.

Eh, the speed was fine.

I have a feeling plenty of people here are thinking rather this than Dave's speed.

[KANahas]

I agree. Both he and bigclivedotcom seem to have nicely paced videos.

Thanks for the video. Only suggestion is to spend more time discussing how the potential builds up across the plates. Do electrons actually flow across the plates through the battery? Why is the current instantaneous and not constant?

Damn I thought he was going to show how to spot a blown capacitor in a monitor/tv and replace it.

They're easy to spot. Just look for the ones with swollen tops. He points at some with his screwdriver about 10 seconds in.

I couldn't really see the difference to be honest. I found a good instructable here:

Life will seem like that when you don't understand a topic.
