Basics of Thermal calculation, measurement and simulation

In this video I go over some basic concepts regarding thermal calculations and measurements. Also I look at how to correctly chose a heat sink based its thermal resistance. And finally I check out how all the calculations can be done using circuit simulation in LTspice.
