    @10:19 This exactly happened to me. In my student dorm I had a crappy power strip. at some point, the fuse of the power trip blew off and I replaced it with a small part of a beer cane. Once I connected the inductance stove + oven on it. with the full power, insulator of the wire started melting (I saw smoke was coming out of the wire). So because of this lecture, I understood that fuses are actually for protecting the wires. :D :D great lectures!! I am just watching it without any particular reason. I grateful to the professor and MIT team to make available such great lectures!!

    A reiteration of this essential practical experience in Circuitry in parallel with 3BLUE 1BROWN graphics of Musical Measure Theory, and Math-Physics of Euler's e-Pi-i Superposition-point at the instantaneous Origin of the Unit Circle Quantum-fields Mechanism is left to the imagination.., all the aptitude inherent in beginning students to detect correlations in temporal thermodynamical correspondence. (I'm "too old" by way of compounding combinations of relevant information that take long-term analysis to reorganize and reorientate) This topic is global in scale, because it's Universal. What does "division by zero-infinity actually mean => recognition of coherence-cohesion objectives.., and the illusion of separation delusion.
