  • To see subtitles in other languages: Click on the gear symbol under the video, then click on "subtitles." Then select the language (You may need to scroll up and down to see all the languages available). --To change subtitle appearance: Scroll to the top of the language selection window and click "options." In the options window you can, for example, choose a different font color and background color, and set the "background opacity" to 100% to help make the subtitles more readable. --To turn the subtitles "on" or "off" altogether: Click the "CC" button under the video. --If you believe that the translation in the subtitles can be improved, please send me an email.

    I put my heart and my soul into Physics after watching this channel. Nothing's boring in this universe if you tell a good story.

    Eugene is back. I started watching him 5 years ago and still watch today :D thanks for this experience .
  • @xyzct
    Brilliant, as always. This, and 3blue1brown, are two of the most enlightening channels on YouTube. Thank you, sir!

You will also be able to provide a translation for the title of the video. Please remember to hit the submit buttons for both the title and for the subtitles, as they are submitted separately. Details about adding translations is available at support.google.com/youtube/answer/6054623?hl=en Thanks.
  • The music on your videos personally keeps me more concentrated and curious throughout the length of the videos. Thank you so much for this extraordinarly instructive content!
  • @xcross8537
    School without going to school. Thank you so much for taking your time to educate world wide curious minds 😊
  • @GStar1
    This is what I wanted! Please make a video for LASER also if possible
  • You are super creative Eugene! The best intuitive video ever watched about the PN junction diode and NPN transistor. keep creating this kind of content to solidify the base of upcoming science students.

    Semiconductors were a tough thing to get my head around in electronics class, the professor was great, but couldn't explain the physics. This will likely be my new mental model. Thanks!
  • The genius of this video is the depiction of the rising and lowering electron energy levels with the differing 1) N or P doping; 2) voltages applied across the diodes; 3) direction of applied voltages; and 4) location of contacts allowing current flow. For those of us who are right hemisphere and cerebellar thinkers, this makes it very memorable. It just makes sense to see the electrons having to struggle to move up steeper or less steep energy level “hills”. Well done.

    Thank you so, so much. These are the best animations and explanations I have come across for physics. What I previously thought were just dull words on paper have turned into beautiful new ways of thought and exploration. You are a hero and an inspiration.
  • @KBtek
    Physics is one of my favorite subject 😍😍😍 animation that you are making is great
  • Great video! I started watching you in my undergrad and continue to do so well into my career. Your videos help make things so intuitive!
  • @jiangxinauto
    One of the most intuitive video ever watched, thanks for this perfect explanation!

    Прекраснейшая визуализация вопроса, долго меня мучавшего, спасибо!) Я не изучал физику на серьезном уровне, но всегда было интересно как все устроено, спасибо за ваш канал!
