Circuit Analysis: Crash Course Physics #30
How does Stranger Things fit in with Physics and, more specifically, circuit analysis? I'm glad you asked! In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini walks us ...
==========
When you study physics, you can start to see it everywhere – even here. As an engineer who studied physics, I have to say one the most interesting parts of the holidays is the lights. Just think of all of the crazy displays that you see, and what it would take to figure out the current required to power all of the tiny light bulbs that make them glow. So many resistors. Now, I’m not going to ask you to diagram the holiday lights on your neighbor’s house. But, one of the best ways to understand how electricity works in a system like that, is through circuit analysis: the process of breaking down a circuit into its key components, and studying each one, to see what it can tell you about the others. So far, you’ve learned about the key components of every electrical circuit – na...
