Click here for full video .. electricity doesn't flow to ground it only returnsthe source 

The wording I normally use it takes all path in proportion to the resistance I pretty sure I say and explain that in the video but I have a few version of this demo. Maybe I missed it in this one. Thanks for the input

Thanks

@@okaro6595 you started with NO.... Do you not think electricity can travel long distances thru earth? Or do think is goes into the earth to complete it's circuit? You should look up S.W.E.R.. .

Imma be honest this guy understands how it works way better than 95% of electricians. That’s what the code is for most electricians stop their knowledge at memorization of the code they use.

Interesting statement. How pray tell does this "electric field" come to exist? I'm not trying to contradict you, just trying to clarify your statement. We know that placing ground rods 100 meters apart WILL generate voltage differences but why? Electrons have to go somewhere.

@@keansakata1015 We can think of the earth and atmosphere as a giant circuit being driven by the sun. The sun ionizes atoms and molecules, and although the air is an insulator/dielectric, the charges can move around through convection as well as wind and rain (which also create more ionic charges by friction). So the air is acting as a weakly conducting fluid, allowing currents even when the voltage is too low for sparks / lightning. If you're still skeptical just search this sentence (wikipedia, but you'll see several websites discuss it). "Near the surface of the Earth, the magnitude of the field is on average around 100 V/m, oriented such that it drives positive charges down."

I have an other video showing the meter reading after I turned it all off. But will be updating the video and I will be able turn power off and on with a smart plug so we can see the current go off and on too..

@@Stevenj120volts great idea on many levels, but be careful you don’t get in the middle of the stray current, always have a look out like in a confined space that can help if you get into trouble, have a plan, and a backup plan, and a backup plan for the backup plan, first responders practice all the time even when they don’t need to just to be ready for when it really happens, it would be so interesting to have the automatic chosen circuit shutoff that protects your body that I am working on

Actually, the return current will go *only back to that one transformer.* That is because the transformer _isolates_ everything downstream of it from the upstream power lines, so the electrical circuit the house is on is a completely separate electrical circuit from the power lines or other houses on other transformers. That means that if the power is coming from that transformer's secondary windings, it must go back to those same secondary windings to complete the circuit, not anywhere else. Other transformers or other parts of the power line infrastructure won't actually complete that particular circuit, so they are not actually possible return paths. (The water analogy doesn't really entirely work here, because there is no real equivalent of a "water transformer" to add to the analogy to make it accurate with what's actually happening electrically.) Now you could argue that the specific individual _electrons_ don't necessarily make it all the way back there, but they get replaced by other electrons which do, but when talking about electrical _current,_ we are always talking about the total net flow, not the path of any individual electron (which in reality are extremely unpredictable on an individual level anyway). (And just because it's changing direction does not mean it's not flowing. It's just flowing "back and forth" instead of always in the same direction. However, for questions or demonstrations such as this one, the difference between AC and DC is not really that important anyway. Thinking of it as a DC circuit instead of an AC circuit doesn't actually change how any of the current paths behave.)

Electrons must return from the transformer winding they left form or that winding would eventually lose electrons. Which I don't think is really possible maybe?

@@foogod4237 I love your response plze follow me. And feel free to pitch in. I am also on tik Tok and Instagram I have 97k followers on tik Tok. This is an old video I reposted just to get some content here. I am trying to get established on RU-vid. I plan on redoing this with a smart plug so I can turn on and off power to the rod while holding and watching the amp probe. I am hope that highlights the rod is the source ...

Right! I wanted to see that too

I'm reposting my old Tik toks here now to get a foothold as I try to get you you tube going. That's why the are vertical and tic Tok had a time restraint back then on my videos

​​@@Stevenj120volts you said that inside your panel your ground current goes to your neutral.. Why does it go to neutral in the first place... Neutral and ground has no relationship at all... First you push x amp to ground... Then why will it flow to your home appliances ground.. If the neutral is also grounded then only will return current through that neutral.... Otherwise all current will go to the hooking wire of the transformer... You are telling something wrong

@@suyashrajpure3562 nope... it will only go to the neutral

@@suyashrajpure3562 I want to link this to a video reply to I teach you how it works ..but it won't let so I will tag you in a video I made that will explain why we bond neutral to ground in the main panel

Why do we bond grounds and neutrals in the main panel

Lots of people don't.

Who is "we"? You got a mouse in your pocket? 😅
