What is Voltage? 

It's been 2 years that I haven't understood what voltage actually means. All I've heard from my teachers is that it's the difference in electric potential, but no further demonstration. Thank you.

for some reason, voltage is never clearly explained, it's all about amps, charge etc, so that was a big help!

Respected *Shawn Hymel* sir, I am a student, and literally the way you have teached electricity and electromagnetism is infinite wonderful!❤️ You have given us knowledge in the best way which nobody has ever given to us! In india , teachers don't teach us correctly, they just make. Us gulp the text written in the book. I request you teacher Shawn hymel that please try to teach us more physics like that you did in past(electricity, electromagnetism) I know making more such videos will take a lot of effort! But please try to help, Please reply teacher🙏🙏🙏👍❤️😁

I don't know why these type of videos are so underrated

I’ve been doing physics for 2 years but this is the only thing that’s actually taught me what voltage literally is

These are very helpful videos, thank you kind sir!

This video is marketed as a kind of beginners guide to voltage, but it took me a lot of googling of certain concepts until I could eventually come back and fully understand the video. I think certain things in the video could be explained in more detail to give a holistic understanding of voltage.

At 4:20, "Even if I had no positive particles, the potential between the two points is still 10 volts." Which two points?

I’m not sure why these videos don’t have more views. They are simple, informative and fun. Just pure gold!

Lovely explained. Thank you for the video

Excelent explanation!! Very good for visualizing what is Voltage. As you said, the further i push one charge away from the other, more energy i would have to use to move it and so more electric potential energy would accumulate, right? But the more i push a magnet away from a metal object, it seems to lose the binding energy between them until a point where it no longer moves the object. Why are the attraction forces reducing instead of building up?

very pleasure to watch your video.I could understand more easier.thank u so much

Just a little clearer than Mud....... Thank You for oyur efforts thou..........

This one of the best explanations I saw on this subject

You just clear my doubt in a minutes thanks ..

Hello, it's really nice, that you combined a couple of formules like charge, energy, work, and then you created a definition of voltage. I really wanted exactly this casual relationship to understand, what voltage is. Because, here we have kinda wishy-washy thing that voltage is 1J/1C , and also we have ohms law, where we can define voltage from V=IR. But yes, I understand that Ohms law is more suitable for curcuits, but i am a beginner in this all stuff, and can it confuses me.

Such a good video!

No words to say...loved it💛

Only man on RU-vid who can intuitively explain what voltage is. Thank you

Fantastic video. Powder coating info. is totally new to me.

i love your videos so fun and helpful

practical work is very helpful.thank you sir

Finally understood the SI unit of Volts! Thx

Thanks for the knowledge you've shared through dz video. Nice one!

It was really helpful for me

Thanks for the great video about voltage! If you click on the purple channel icon to the left, you can see a patented ion/electric wind propelled aircraft that flies with its power supply onboard!... I uses very high voltage and very little current. It has no moving parts except pure electricity and air molecules.

You make this simple as that°°°👌👌👌👌

Helped me a lot! Thanks!! 🤓

I feel like theres something i missed. I still don't understand what voltage is. I know that Watts = Volts * Amps but people keep telling me that voltage is like pressure which is really confusing. It's confusing because if it was like pressure that means that there are many electrons in one area all repelling each other. and I know that in order to put these electrons in that situation that they have to be moving, but the math tell me that I can have high pressure with little motion... (e.g 1watt = 1000000000000 Volts * .000000000001 Amps). I know that like charges repel and I know that moving charged particle create a magnetic feild, also I know that two like charged particles traveling in the same direction will create a magnetic feild that makes an attractive force. (idk the math) but that force to me isn't strong enough to create a high voltage at a low current. I'm just really confused... You say that voltage is the electric potential difference between two point. I'm assuming that those two point are unlike charges (e.g. the negative terminal and positive terminal). I could think of that as the potential energy of a ball held up high above the ground. But so far it hasn't clicked... Am I stupid/dense? Can someone help me? Am I beyond help? I'm starting to believe I don't understand anything at all. Also what's the maximum amount of voltage you can have inside of 1 Watt? there has to be a limit right?

Hi SFE, why did electrons strip from the cloth to the balloon and not the other way around? Thanks for posting this informative vid.

Very nice, Thanks!

Good explanation thank you

perfect~ thank you~

Thanks for this explanation. You solve my 1 and half years problems

very good explanation.

great ,thank you so much keep on 😇😊

Great explanation

You just cleared my doubt of 1 month,☺☺☺☺

Good explanation Tq such Sir

Best explanation 😘

Wow... Nice explanation!!! 😃

Suppose that we have a unit of energy that should be moved to a specific point but there is a lot of charges infront of it won't that change the voltage and how do I know if the two charges that I am comparing are not like each other

How do clouds acquire charge in the first place?

Question: In the case of electricity going through your body via lightning or electrocution, would you survive it by having your feet on or off the ground?

Great video!

Sir your explanation is really nice one

At 5:14, Can you explain how it's containing more coulombs inside?

excellent

Is the potential of a charge the energy of attracting other charges or its kinetic energy? Is the electron potential negative? What is the difference between positive and negative potential?

how do you apply this to human body ? I mean electric impulses in heart and muscle contractions.And also how is it transcribed into ECG/EKG ? kindly help.thank you.

I liked the charged balloon demonstration but when I tried the can barely moved. What other important factors need considering to make the can chase the balloon?

Very Great Sir

Question, when you say the positive charges move to one side of the balloon, are you saying that the protons are the positive charges that is moving to one side of the balloon while the electrons (negative charges) move away? I am just confused by the terminology since i picture that the ballon, being a solid, cant have its protons "moving around", that would only be the electrons. So again, here instead of saying proton we say positive charges?

great video man good stuff really liked the video So i creating a a lint remover design and i have a 6 inch handle that will have 3 AAA batteries in there. On the end of the handle i have two razor handles and a vibration motor will be installed on each side of the razor handles with razor blades on the ends to remove lint from clothing. So i am in the process of sourcing a coreless vibrator motor which will be brushed and have the eccentric wheel or counterweight on the end of the rotor/shaft of the body of the motor My question is, which type of vibration motor would be best to get (brush vs brushless; DC geared motor vs planetary geared motor vs coreless DC motor)? Also, what would be the best voltage to get if i have three 1.5 Volt AAA batteries sitting in the handle of my lint remover as well as rated current levels and and how about the motor speed? Maybe it would be best to get 1 or even 2 AA batteries or maybe 1 or 2 or even 4 or 5 AAA batteries or possibly just get a 9 volt or 12 volt battery? Let me know what battery size you think is best and the voltage and motor speed and current and rated current numbers would go best with the ideal battery to use for this product of mine? LAstly, what can i do to elongate the life of the motor? Can i customise the vibration motor to elongate its life cycle? I do not think i will get brushless because the product will sell no more than $30 and this is why i decided to do brushed motor! MAybe to add hours and life to the motor i get AA or higher voltage battery possibly? Love to hear your expertise thoughts and views on this if you have a chance and if not i totally understand and really looking forward to watching more of your past videos to really grasp all of this stuff HAppy 4th of July Take care and god bless Eldar-

All educational channels try to provide good stuff Sparkfun:Hold my camera

Helpful 😊

Outclass sir thnks a lot

nice video this helped me for electricty and ardrinos with ai.

Sir, why object appear to be in stationary while electron revolt around the nucleus???🙄

Thank u so much ☺️

This is a great explanation of voltage. But, could you please tell me why this video appears smaller when I am looking at it in the mirror ?

Impossibly Brilliant ❤

Pretty good explanation

Amazing video

Can you tell me. How positive charge(proton) moves towards the negative charge ? As protons can't move...

Why electrons are gained by ballon only,why not by the cloth?

If Volt = J(energy) / C (1 coulomb) then does it mean 1 coulomb of charge from a 10 V battery carries more energy than 1 Coulomb of charge from a 3 V battery. IS this assumption correct? I used to think 1 coulomb of charge from both batteries can only do the same amount of work. But from your explanation, it looks like the higher the voltage source, the same amount of current (say for e.g. 1Amp) can do more work than a 1 Amp of current from a lower voltage source.

Wonderful.

Thankyou sir 😀

So voltage is just the diffrence in potential between two points???? Is that right

Thanks a lot

How at 4:25 when there are no electrons voltage is 10 V ?

V=J/C more test particles we have to move from the center ,the less voltage is because if we have more charge we are making a biger force between center and moving point and that means the center particle have "less" charge in relation with test particles ???? Sorry for my english but i hope someone will understand my question :)

That's so cool-on! (I have no idea how to spell that) Edit: it's Coulomb

What is negative voltage??

So, when lightning happens, is it a current?

Thanku so much sir

Thanks brother! Can you please help me with this knowledge!

Not a beginner's video. Also, vehicles are not painted using powder coating process. Only certain, usually performance oriented or supplemental parts are actually PC'd.

Charge is present on a cloud all the time, but we can see lighting only during rainy days...why is it so..?

Iam sad, i want to understand how battery works, how its voltage static in different conductor dont have same length

To know about Current and the process of conduction, watch these 2 videos i. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-REsWdd76qxc.html and ii. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8BQM_xw2Rfo.html

Tq nice

nice

I don't really understand why people are trying to explain the idea of voltage as potential energy between two points. For those aren't highly skilled with the use of physics definitions, won't understand it. Here's what I didn't understand and I believe explaining it this way would be much more simplier: voltage tells us how many WORK 1 charge is going to produce when it goes from A to B.

Good

so 2 batteries can have the same voltage but provide different amounts of energy... confusing!

Once they brought math into it, I was immediately lost. Charge? Energy? Joules?? Where did these words come from?

But positive chatge can't move in the conductor

What the hell does i joul mean ? One Newton per meter ? What does it mean? And second thing what is voltage ?

Madian, see and learn

Not just the can, also this happens with scale(inductor) when we rub it against our hair and bring close to pieces of paper, it will attract them, almost all of us have done this in childhood. So how would u explain that, when u said only conductors eg can❓❓

good for me

wow thanks

wow i did not know what potential difference was

wow

👌👌👌❤❤

@4:20 I don't understand this part @4:00 - 30 divided by 3 = 10 ✔ @4:14 - 20 divided by 2 = 10 ✔ @4:20 - 0 divided by 1 = also 10 ❔

thank yoy

It's good for exam revisions
