You just turned 4 weeks of learning and 12 hours of homework into a 10 minute video. Well done this is EXTREMELY helpful to me (and probably many others)
It's only 4 weeks of education if you're mentally slow. In my country the material is covered by two courses, a physics course and a chemistry course, which run concurrently for two years, along side many other courses that also run concurrently. So it's perfectly reasonable then for one course to teach its material at a different time to the other, and let's suppose the material is taught 4 months apart. It is then not reasonable to say it's 4 months of education. The correct way is to say "it takes 2 hours of education" because each lesson is 1 hour long. Let's not exaggerate .
Sorry to say but its misconception that electron flow from one terminal of battery to other in fact they oscillate so little that their movement is negligible, its the electric field and magnetic field that carry the energy around. electrons stay in approximately the same space. electrons do not carry energy from battery to bulb its the fields. (we are taught wrong about electricity in colleges)
I am a science teacher. I struggled teaching about electricity and magnetism because I couldn't find any material that truly explained how it works in simple terms. Everything I found seemed way too confusing and overcomplicated. This is brilliant! Thanks, I will be using these videos to educate my kids. Way to go
True, however if you TRULY want to learn the subject of electricity and magnetism you must learn vector/multivariable calculus and start reading a proper textbook on the topic.
Obay Rafi same I studied applied physics for 4 years and know all the formulas by heart but none of my teachers actually explained to us wtf electricity really is.
I am a Physics teacher and I always look for easier ways to teach my students and make things clear. Thank you for this video. It is very useful. And the way the animation and the narration goes its so perfect. Am looking forward to more videos from you.
Actually im just 13 years old and i like to study about atoms. But no such videos were there! In your video, you explained slowly and gently, thats what makes people understand in better way! Thank you soo much whoever you are!
Gabriella KAO “the move of electrons” its hard to truly understand them without deriving the meaning and interpretation from mathematics. You can search “quantum numbers” it will help you clarify some topics, try to understand the meaning of each if the quantum numbers, do not try to translate things like the spin of an electron to classical spins in the macro world.
November 2021. Contributor Veritaseum and others have just posted, posited and peer-reviewed each other that the electrical energy that makes electrical items work is actually the Electro-magnetic field surrounding the circuit wire and created by the moving electrons. Happy for my own understanding of this new approach also to be peer-reviewed.
I’ve never commented on a RU-vid video in my life. But I swear to god or whoever you believe in, I learned more about electricity in that 11 mins then I have my entire electrical apprenticeship. That was eye opening 😂😂😂😂
As a heating engineer, I would like to thank my old tech college instructor for teaching me Ohms Law - as 'Virgins Are Rare' and 'Where Virgins Are'. As a 17 year-old , it was a brilliant way to remember how to work out wattage, voltage, amps, and resistance. It's never left me, and I'm 62, now. I use it almost weekly in my job. I only came on here to refresh my memory on the name of the outermost electron cloud.
I have never appreciated anyone that this deserve. And I also don't comment like 99 percent of the time and this video is just mind boggling. This guy gets a subscribe. The way he keeps it for beginners to grasp is just outstanding! I don't think I have seen a youtuber this much committed to explain physics. Keep posting you will be the best!
Can't believe these odds: 20k "likes" and 400 "not liked". Goes to show how informative this YT'er is. Now every time I plug something in, I'll see nothing but electrons in my head.
I would agree with you if the video was correct but unfortunately it is far from correct and is just expressed in a false simplified analogy normally aimed at the young mind where critical and analytical thinking skills have yet to develop.
Im taking the asvab and electricity is a subtest on there. I was so hopeless because id study for hours to no avail, Never did I think an electrical video could be explained to me where I understood. THANK YOU times a million this video was genius !
OMG, this is what I need, the explanation is so clear. I need more of this, could you make more videos about electricity, also an explanation about resistor, capacitor, fuse, diode, inductor, different between AC and DC, and how can a power supply convert AC to DC, also how electrical travel on the mainboard. Because I guess no one can explain something too technical except you. Please please :)
Been an electrician for a couple years now and even back in trade school I didn't quite grasp the whole picture. This video really filled in the gaps and questions I had, thank you!
Excellent during my college days I tried hard to understand electricity but never found good tutors. But this 10 minutes video gave complete details about electricity.
I’m in esthetician school and we’re starting our electricity chapter to be able to use certain machines (high frequency, galvanic current, microcurrent, etc) and this video REALLY helps me visualize the basic concepts. Thank you!!
I have no words to describe how good this explanation was. Please, make many many videos on physics topics. You are very creative and deserve millions of subscribers.
I am 24 and sir... for the first time in my life I understand the way an atom works... leading to understand electricity. Thank you! I'll be watching the whole series
I've tried to understand electricity for a long time. You have taken a lot of the mystery out. There is still a big mystery out there to go with this crazy stuff. I learned more in that one video and I have learned in my whole life. You have a great way of explaining things. You are on your way thank you.
Great video. I should have learnt this stuff years ago. Very clearly explained. It's crazy how we depend so much on electricity, yet have no idea how it works. Now I can at least tell my kids about the basics.
The entire semester I learned in engineering college can't even be compared to your 10 min video. You've got a great talent there to explain stuff to people. keep it up ♥♥♥
I am not an electrical student or engineer but I could understand this video quite clearly. I wish our education system could create thing like this and apply in the study program for the students. We would be a better engineer. Million thanks to the one who created this.
This is the best explanation I've found yet. I've gotten by on the old water pressure/flow analogy for a while but wanted to better understand what's actually happening. "Electrons are not spent…" answered one of my most basic questions. Thank you. All right, onward…
Sorry to say but its misconception that electron flow from one terminal of battery to other in fact they oscillate so little that their movement is negligible, its the electric field and magnetic field that carry the energy around. electrons stay in approximately the same space. electrons do not carry energy from battery to bulb its the fields. (we are taught wrong about electricity in colleges)
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve worked with electrical for quite a while now, and always understood the basics... but to see what’s actually going on at the molecular level is so neat!
That's a really nice explanation. It contains an error, though, beginning about 9:39, when you say that the depicted short circuit can be dangerous because the electrons do not encounter resistance. In fact, it's the resistance of the wire that makes this dangerous as the resistance produces heat. If the wire had no resistance, then the flow of electrons would not produce heat.
@@melonachii The battery or whatever source has its own internal resistance. If it was shorted out with a very low resistant path, the battery would heat up.
This is an insanely good video. Incredibly well explained from the ground up. Even if you don't have prior knowledge in physics of chemistry, this video explains each concept do simply and intuitively thay you won't have trouble understanding. Just wow. Hats off to the creator.
I never thought I would be actually interested in learning this. Idk, the school made it seem so boring. But this is awesome. That's why I love this channel: Clear and easy explanations. Great job! :D
Have no words to thank you I was searching on youtube for days for learning what's the chemistry behind this physics but no one made it clear Thankyou so much
Thank you very much! Your videos are awesome: picture, sound, speech, explanation, subtitles. It's really sad that you stop producing. Can't wait for the next video with an explanation of what happens when electrons reach the positive terminal!
I looked for good videos in english to repeat my knowledge about electricity and improve my english. This one is very good and i will still watch another one's. Thank you from Germany and keep going on ! :)
"We are now confident that electric and magnetic phenomena are attributable to ether, and we are perhaps justified in saying that the effects of static electricity are effects of ether under strain, and those of dynamic electricity and electromagnetism effects of ether in motion." - Nikola Tesla.
your voice is perfect you are a "NARRATOR" congratulations! few are! excellent! i have subscribed and will watch all your videos. you speak in a slow and poistive manner.
I just got an electrical apprenticeship and have been looking for electrical education videos and this was brilliant, thank you so much. Going to watch more of your videos and I hope you keep creating content!
Thank you so much. Excellent, one of the best I have ever seen and heard. You are a great communicator with a really good voice for this subject. Dr. Mark
This is the mainstream teaching of electricity and it is a simplified format to be able to understand it much like a beginners guide, crucially though some very big key areas of the video are incorrect, the demonstration of electrons carrying the energy(charge) around a circuit is not correct and in fact on average the electrons will only migrate in the region of mm/hr in DC circuits, AC circuits actually sees the electrons just vibrate about their position any never really going anywhere. What is happening when you link 2 points with a potential difference (pd) with a conductor is the propagation of the elecromagnetic field (emf) at close to light speed although this speed varies depending on the conducting material, this emf around the conductor is what interacts with the valence electrons and causes them to slowly migrate from Negative to Positive in DC and about their position in AC, the actual energy travels not through the conductor but around it in the field that is created, like mentioned already this field interacts with the electrons but not really central of the conductor but around the surface of the conductor to a depth reflective of the strength of the field, this is known as the skin effect. It still amazes me mainstream education teaches us electricity flows from positive to negative (the video was correct to some extent by getting the direction of electron migration right), also this idea electrons are racing through the conductor at close to light speed is another total misconception, i realise the atomic and quantum world are much more complex than we can expect to lay on our children but at least they should be introducing them with accurate information and not misleading stuff. Regards - an electrical engineer with a passion for physics, quantum theory and the atomic world.
@@AlexandreAlvesGoogle It's easy to make analogy, think of sound, sound is not some particles traveling through air, but just a wave that propagates through air. Air is a medium through which sound travels, just like that, Electrons are a medium through which electricity travels, electrons only enable a charge to propagate in a certain direction, nothing more, electrons themselves can't move fast as light, as that would be impossible.
I would assume the reason why they teach this incorrect method is that it's easier for beginners to understand like you said. If one were to study electricity in the beginning as it actually were, then they would just get confused right off the bat. Ik I probably would be confused for a good while until I study it thoroughly
@Moses Q No, it's taught incorrectly because other sources teach it incorrectly, and the author copies their earlier teachers, never questioning any errors. It's the childhood "game of Telephone" where the errors built up over decades, and now the teachers themselves possess brains full of wrong information. They infect the next generation of K12 students with the same errors. Nobody designed such bad, erroneous material. Instead it was produced by a near-total lack of corrective feedback, which leads to process of gradual distortion, created over an entire century. Why does it happen? Simple: the publishers of K6 material have no need to remove errors. (Removing errors requires accepting their existence, and THAT must never happen! For large publishing companies, any admission of the slightest error can cost millions or more in lost sales via state textbook-selection committees. Hence, errors in textbooks are actively, even *fiercely* fought, and preserved against correction or even changes.) Electric current is electron-flow? Wrong. That only applies to metals/silicon/carbon. For example, no electrons flow through human bodies, or through salt water, or battery acid, or the ground. When you get shocked touching a doorknob, no electrons flow through your flesh. People have no free electrons inside (that's metal crystals only. And graphite too.) Protons can flow as an electric current ...just not in metals. Electric current is CHARGE FLOW, and different types of conductors have different types of charges flowing. When scuffing on carpets, electrons aren't transferred (electron-transfer applies to single atoms and chemistry, not to frictional charging of solids, where entire ions are transferred.) Why isn't this explained? Simple: the author clearly doesn't know it. The author doesn't know that entire atoms get transferred during frictional charging, or that protons commonly flow, or that during currents in salt water, no electrons flow at all. (They no doubt picked up the common "electricity is electrons" misconception from their own education, and now are passing it along to everyone.) The path for current is *through* the battery, then back out again. The animated pathway must go through the battery. Yet it does not? No current through the electrolyte? This error ruins the entire concept of "electric circuit!" Circuits are complete loops, and batteries act as charge-pumps, with the path for charges passing through the battery electrolyte. (Batteries don't supply the charges being pumped.) That's just a few of the errors. To do it right, one must first locate all the many misconceptions being spread by grade-school textbooks. But before that, first one must accept the fact that grade-school textbooks are simply brim-full with errors and childhood misconceptions (errors that the teachers themselves believe, and refuse to ever fix. The situation is created and preserved by publishers, companies who would be greatly harmed if the errors they've been spreading were ever accepted as being real.) One must confront the fact that, unless we have decades of experience, then we have a head full of physics-misconceptions, the same misconceptions that teachers and textbooks are spreading. If teachers and authors knew how electricity actually worked, they would easily give a simplified and error-free lessons, rather than instead copying earlier textbooks, and thus spreading both the good information as well as every bit of the bad. Search for lists of electricity misconceptions. You'll find that many appearing in those lists, are also appearing in this video. But that must be OK, right? After all, if every person has acquired the same serious disease, then it becomes OK to never attempt a cure. Widespread disease must always be tolerated ...because its widespread! If everyone has a disease, then maybe for some reason it must be important to catch it, and to suffer, right? After all, diseases cannot just spread all by themselves, correct? Therefore the suffering must be important, intentional, and also some unknown experts in the past must have set up the situation on purpose!!! (No. It's simply a disease. It arose and spread spontaneously. And if the cure is simple, all suffering is needless. But those with the disease will fight you.)
@Alexandre Alves No, the mistakes in this video have nothing to do with quantum mechanics or their analogies. The author just has a head full of childhood misconceptions, same as the "viral load" of mistakes carried by most grade-school textbooks. To get the actual good stuff we cannot get it from K6 publishers: companies who have no pressure (or need) to produce accurate material. (They just have to satisfy parent-groups. And also they must make certain that any errors in their books are the same errors found in books from other sources. That way they can deny their existence, and defeat any outsider who complains about the mistakes.) The mistakes are easily removed. But most K12 authors will instead fight to the death, rather than to accept that their knowledge and writings are full of mistakes, or that they've been spreading those mistakes widely. Thus, the problem persists. Tolstoy: "I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives." It's the rare, exceptional author who will fight to perceive their own mistakes, rather than fighting against anyone who dares point them out.
Great work 👍 This is the first time I understand completely about atoms only by accidentally clicking on your channel for studing electricity despite being studing atoms for two years in the school🌟✨✨✨ Thank you for such a good explanation with fantastic animation!! ✨✨✨🌟🌟🌟
Electricity is a truly amazing phenomenon that has changed the way we live our lives. As soon as electricity began to be harnessed in the 19th century, it quickly became the driving force behind many technological advancements. Today, we take electricity for granted and it is an integral part of our daily lives. It powers everything from our smartphones and computers to the lights in our homes and the motors in our cars. The power of electricity is awe-inspiring, from the crackle of lightning during a thunderstorm to the smooth hum of an electric motor. It is a seemingly endless source of energy that can light up our world and bring us countless benefits, making our lives easier, safer and more efficient. The versatility of electricity is truly amazing, as it can be used to power everything from simple light bulbs to high-tech medical equipment. Without electricity, our world would be a very different place. Therefore, it needs to be developed and utilized in the best possible way, to help us lead better lives.
Please upload more! I really needed this back when I had to learn this in the most inefficient and vague way possible. The education system is outdated and your videos show this.
God bless You dear!!!!!!!! I'm sure making that video requires some special attention and skills. and so far you've explained it faaaaaaaaar better than all my high school teachers back then. Great video!! Keep it up!
