  • This is hands down the best and most comprehensive animated explanation about MOSFETs I've ever seen and I have seen a few
  • @bjornroesbeke
    I've been playing with electronics as a hobby for over 20 years. No one has ever explained MOSFETs this comprehensively to me before. This made me flash back into time when i understood how BJT's worked for the first time.
  • @whynotdean8966
    If I could make a suggestion: When teaching about something like this, where there are multiple versions of the same thing, I've found that it's incredibly helpful to go through use cases for the different versions. It's so much easier to understand and remember what something does, when you understand what problem it solves. In any case, thank you for yet another amazingly well produced and presented video.
  • I am an independent learner. Autistic and not very good in classrooms. Your videos are amazingly helpful. Thank you for your videos that are audio-visually stimulating and engaging.
  • Amazing video, I’m a current EE undergrad, when i took electronics, my professor didn’t seem to throughly explain MOSFETs like you did. I look forward to your uploads!
  • @thebigcheese4495
    Took the ASVAB today for Air Force, needed atleast 60 on the electrical portion of the test to go into the field I want, if I didn’t get the score I wanted i’d have to go into a different field or wait 6 months in order to retake the test. I went online to find what I could to study, I came across your channel and watched probably half your videos and watched some multiple times, with one month of studying a couple hours a day I was able to turn my original 33 score into a 67 for electrical information. Thank you, truly.
  • I did quit engineering for I.T for a lack of such explanation in my previous school. However, I'm finding this very handy as an IOT enthusiast! Good job Engineering mindset!
  • @tushargarg1106
    Great video. Just wanted to point out at 10:50 and 11:15 that p and n type materials are neutral. The p is for holes(positive) majority carriers and n is for electrons(negative) majority carriers. Then when they both diffuse(movement due to concentration gradient) in opposite type material at p-n junction, then space charge region is formed.
  • It’s because of videos like these that I’m able to learn so much about engineering! Thank you ❤
  • @Jeremy_Fielding
    It would take a feat of engineering to design a simpler explaination of Mosfets. LOL Good pacing, animation, real parts demonstration, and starting with basic switches were all fantastic.
  • @deekshajain2369
    Generally I watch educational videos in speed multiplied. This is the first video i have ever watched in 0.75x. Even then watched it on repeat at some points. Pure content☺️ Most of the knowledge about electronics I have aquired is from your channel, which was suggested by one of my friend. Thanks a lot for your work 🥰
  • @Umski
    Well this is embarrassing - I’m an EE by education and have some experience with FETs but had only really ever considered N and P types - the enhancement and depletion attributes were phrases I’d heard but never needed to understand 😳 Every day’s a learning day as the saying goes 👍
  • @AyushmanBaurasi
    I finally got rid of all doubts of life about mosfet thank you ❤
  • @timothysands5537
    I'm a MechE senior, when I took electronic courses for my major, they taught mostly the BJT transistor and so that is what we use in lab with our arduino and motor circuits. The detailed explanation of MOSFETs you have here is fantastic and exactly what I would be hunting for as a student eager to learn about this subject. I feel lucky to have access to your channel, thanks for the education!
  • @brianwood5220
    Paul, that was brilliant video with an excellent explanation. But for me, I'm going to need to watch it a few times; before it fully sinks in. :_Caution::_Caution:
  • @nexnc
    This video is exactly what I've been searching for! The explanations are clear, and I appreciate how accessible it is for everyone. Thank you so much for sharing such valuable content for free! One suggestion I have is to consider slowing down the pace of the practical explanations a bit, as they can be a little quick. Keep up the great work!
  • Just look at this analogy of transistors with water pipes, how adorable is that. Isn't it so easy and interesting to understand? Thanks so much man, because of you so many of us are now really understanding the concepts of electronic components and their working principle. HATS OFF Champ
  • @myxmax27
    This is the greatest video about MOSFET that I've ever seen
  • @felixb.1756
    Great video! You got something wrong at 10:46 tho. The whole material is neutral as phosphorus also has 15 instead of 14 protons. The n-type refers to the negative charge carriers.
