Journey 2 Master
Another channel by Dustin Stelzer (of Electrician U), Journey 2 Master follows Dustin as "a young Master Electrician starting up an electrical contracting company to building up the best electrical company on the planet."
Great Scott
This is one of the best YouTube channels to learn about the basics of electronics. The guy explains the basics of everything from small resistors to big fat motors. The best part of the videos is the circuit drawings that he draws on paper to explaining the core of workings. The video and audio quality are superb, and editing is done up to the mark. The DIY or BUY playlist is probably the most viewed content on the channel.
ElectroBoom
This electronics/electrical loving YouTuber doesn’t go that deep into the working of each component. However, the style of delivery of the content is superb. The best part is the comedy and his facial expression that he makes in his videos. This is for sure the best electrical engineering channel to watch when you get bored with learning.
He makes a lot of mistakes in his videos to show the audience that such mistakes must be avoided. Many people feel some of his experiments are too dangerous. However, the fact is that he knows the result of each mistake he does. He is a very smart man.
SparkFun Electronics
The channel is highly professional in terms of video production quality. The video scripts are up to the point. The content discussed here is mostly new electronic chips and DIY projects based on them. However, they also discussed other engineering-related topics. The channel also has its website where you can buy the latest electrical components.
Electronoobs
If you are interested in electronics, 3D printing, or just want to build something, here you will learn all that. The channel is very similar to the Great Scott channel. The creator of this channel discusses mostly PCB components. The channel also has its own DIY playlist. The explanation is very clear and video production quality is superb.
Electronics Hub
ElectronicsHub.org provides the best information about various electronics circuits and project ideas on electronics, electrical, robotics, and communication concepts. It is one of those special channels with true DIY electronic projects feel. The projects made on this channel, use very cheap and easy to find components, with not so complex electrical circuits. However, the channel does not have an in-depth explanation of every component used in projects.
