What is a GM Counter / Geiger Muller Counter? - explained simply and clearly

Geiger Muller Counters, or GM Counters, are used to measure nuclear particle. A Geiger Muller Counter works on the principle that in the presence of a strong potential difference, a nuclear particle which causes ionization in gaseous molecules can lead to an avalanche of secondary ionizations that results in a sudden discharge, and therefore detection of the particle. Such an avalanche is known as electron avalanche.

Never heard someone pronouncing a cylinder as sci-lender

[@axial_beats]

😂😂😂

[@SamuTheFrog]

First for everything they say

[@reallyoriginalusername9086]

Americans when they realize other counties exist and different pronunciation are a sign that a person knows more than one language: 😱

[@LXWLESS]

Never heard anyone pronounce "Cyclone" as "sick-clone" or Cyber as "si-ber" etc.. leave the guy alone it's most likely not his first language

[@dewimorgan4431]

its his accent why you being racist for he's just trying to help?

[@sairabr5072]

Really thnk u sir u explained it in a much simpler way

[@guglipadella1347]

thank you so much, you saved my final exam paper :)

[@nahuelzarate909]

Excelentes tus vídeos !

[@asmajaved8743]

Thanks a lot explained very clearly ❤️❤️❤️

[@physikexperimentefurdiesch4694]

very helpful!!!

[@niupschlusselexperimente-r8019]

nice!

[@chadlin866]

Such a sexy accent. Very manly.

[@andym.s.5231]

What even is the purpose of having a path blocked by a resistance there if we want the electrons to go to the counter, why not just not have that path at all?

[@AironixHdx]

I believe it acts as a pull down resistor, to ensure the signal integrity of the "counter" which probably consists of transistors

[@audesouccar903]

Thank you so much!! I'm a french student and your video was so clear and easy to understand, you saved me a lot of time !

[@goodplay58]

Which grade are you in?

Finally I understood electron avalanche...thank you,amazing video

Can u explain what happened in the last??

Why do books explainit so hard tysm

[@Bored_wreked]

It's cylinder not sylendar

[@jire3154]

This is seriously wrong - this is definitely not How GM tubes work; you explained proporcional counters which is something very different… How about the spreading of avalenches across the whole volume? Photons and so on?

[@AwaisKhan-bv2tm]

Ver nice lecture with animation sir....i understood all the topic

Sir pulse generate only due to electrons and why we meas1 second ure the time constant as 1 second or 5 second

Can both negative and positively charged ions enter the cylinder?

Short and sweet

150k views is abysmal to say everyone just assumes these to be real

Thanks mate

[@jackermis3104]

Thank you, I now understand how to actually build them! Note, I saw the negatively charged tube in contact with the positively charged wire, this will cause 1 out of the 3 things:
It will blow the circuit breaker,
Short out and melt the wire, or give you a good shock...

[@kavinnath6767]

I know its been a year, but I have a question, why do we need that resistor there? (I thought you'd be the best the one to ask this since you mentioned you were building one.)

[@smob0]

​@@kavinnath6767 I'm not entirely sure, but it looks like a pull down resistor. If there wasn't a path to follow that didn't go through the counter, you could get a charge buildup on the pin, and potentially get false positives or faulty readings.
