The video tutorial explains the concept of color coding in electrical circuits, focusing on series circuits with four and three light bulbs. It discusses how flow rate, resistance, and pressure differences are represented visually through color coding. The tutorial provides examples of how to interpret these color codes and apply them to understand pressure differences in circuits. It also addresses challenges in representing pressure differences with limited colors and offers solutions for accurate representation.
